Carbon Footprint Reduction During the Wire Drawing Process at an Electrical Cable Manufacturing Company
Abstract:This study proposes improvements in one of the processes of the operational flow of an electric cable manufacturing company with the objective of reducing the environmental impact of its emissions. The improvement focuses on the copper annealing sub-process, in relation to the wire drawing operation. Under an experimental design, a diagnosis was made of the 2.5 mm diameter wire production process. It was found that it generated unnecessary waste of electrical energy in the annealing stage. With the help of a g… Show more
