The next level in material and energy efficiency
Innovations that make a positive contribution to climate protection – made possible thanks to Freudenberg’s focus on material and energy efficiency. Below are just some examples of our leading-edge solutions that support global sustainability in the 40 plus markets we serve.
Greater precision
Freudenberg Medical – Helix iMC?
Silicone tubing can save lives – it is a key component in pacemakers or delivery systems for cancer drugs. The tube always has to meet the most precise specification, down to the thousandth of a millimeter. The Helix iMC technology by Freudenberg Medical is revolutionizing current industrial standards for quality control with comprehensive monitoring and documentation. The A.I.-supported production data monitoring reduces scrap by more than 25 percent, and therefore helps protecting the environment.
We have to stay outside!
Filtration Technologies – micronAir Gas Shield
Driving can be hazardous to your health. After all, heavy traffic generates the “tunnel effect”, where very high concentrations of contaminated air can enter the vehicle interior. Severe respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma can result. Using innovative activated carbon mixtures for vehicle cabin air filters, Freudenberg Filtration Technologies’ micronAir Gas Shield protects against harmful gases and unpleasant odors, providing a basis for comfort and health inside the vehicle.
In the great outdoors!
Freudenberg Performance Materials – comfortemp? fiberball padding
The mountain is calling, the woods are inviting: More and more people are spending time outdoors to unwind after a hard day’s work. Rough weather including rain, snow, and cold mean they need the right equipment to enjoy their time in the great outdoors. Reliable clothing is a must. Freudenberg Performance Materials has created the world’s first padding made from 100-percent recycled, linked small fiberballs. Soft, warm, breathable and easy to process – comfortemp? is a clear alternative to down and offers producers greater design freedom in less time and at lower costs. A benefit not only to the environment but also to industrial companies and consumers.
A clean bill
Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions – iQonnect
Why clean a room that has not been used? Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions’ new digital iQonnect system makes cleaning processes much easier to manage. It helps facilities management; team leaders and cleaning staff complete their work quickly and clean only where needed. Transparency and monitoring are available in real time on smartphones or tablets. And customers are happy about the clear performance documentation, quality controls as well as lower payroll and management costs. A clean solution.
The future gets moving
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies – Fuel cells
How can you fill your tank with solar and wind power? This question is driving the mobility sector in its quest for climate protection. Not only the drive is important, so is the energy source. Fuel cells are part of the solution. More precisely: Hybrid systems that combine fuel cells and batteries. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is developing them for the utility vehicle industry. Alliances are needed to advance the technologies and infrastructure so that new drives and energy sources can prevail in complex transportation systems. The current cooperation with Flixbus – Europe’s largest bus line – is one example.
