Sustainability at Heesemann

Heesemann — there is responsibility in this name. For over 90 years, large industrial groups and small craft businesses all over the world have relied on our machines and service. that

Wood has been one of humanity’s most important and versatile renewable resources for thousands of years. Beyond its excellent workability, wood stands out for its unique aesthetic qualities and the atmosphere it creates. Its ease of processing, combined with comparatively low energy consumption during harvesting and manufacturing, makes wood particularly favorable from an ecological perspective. Accordingly, wood products perform exceptionally well in life cycle assessments. (Source: Wikipedia)
A sustainably managed forest provides a habitat for thousands of animal and plant species while also serving as a place of recreation for people. Its role in climate protection is substantial: as a natural air purifier, water filter, and carbon sink, forests make a significant contribution to mitigating global warming.
As a manufacturer of sanding machines, we naturally have a deep passion for wood, and the responsible, sustainable use of this valuable raw material is especially important to us. What could be more fitting than planting trees ourselves? This idea gave rise to the Heesemann Forest.

Was wir bereits getan haben

Here is an excerpt of the concrete measures implemented at Heesemann in the area of sustainability. Our goal is to sustainably reduce our CO2 footprint and thus contribute to environmental protection.

Paperless machine documentation So far, we have planted 1,750 trees and continue to expand this commitment on an ongoing basis.

Paperless machine documentation As standard, we donate the surcharge for paper-based documentation in full to a sustainability project and use it to plant additional trees.

lights: Exchange for energy-efficient LED lighting in production and administration

Reduction of heating times and flow temperature (=CO2 savings through reduced oil and gas consumption)

Adjustment of the company car fleet (preferably electric vehicles)

Air compressor and heating pump replacement against energy-saving alternatives

high-speed door (for lower heat loss)

Jobrad leasing for our employees

Reduction of power consumption of our machines by being able to lock the number of maximum active units. This measure has no effect on the safety of the machine and is suitable for reducing the connection load if the customer's machine connections do not have sufficient capacity.

What contribution do we want to make to conserving resources with our machines?

The EMS (Energy Management System) from Heesemann is an energy saving system that benefits both our environment and our customers. Reduced energy consumption relieves our environment and reduces costs. If no workpieces flow into the sanding machine, the drive motors of the sanding units, which are designed in the highest energy efficiency class, are shut down in speed.EMS (Energy-The Energy Management System (EMS) from Heesemann is an energy-saving solution designed to benefit both the environment and our customers. Reduced energy consumption helps protect the environment while simultaneously lowering operating costs. When no workpieces are fed into the sanding machine, the drive motors of the sanding units—engineered to the highest energy efficiency class—are automatically slowed down.

At the same time, a flap on the suction fan is closed to significantly reduce the air flow rate. Depending on workload, this significantly reduces the energy consumption of the sanding machine. When new workpieces are brought in, all motors are quickly restarted.
