ILFA installs new combined heat and power plant

Published by f.schwarz on

For a more efficient supply of electricity and heat, ILFA has invested in a new combined heat and power plant (CHP) at its production site in Hanover Anderten. The new CHP has an electrical output of 250 KW and a thermal output of 321 KW. It is powered by a MAN gasoline engine, which has a high electrical efficiency compared to other CHP engines. The primary energy saving for ILFA is more than 10%, so the CHP meets the high-efficiency criterion according to Directive 2012/27/EU.

Combined heat and power plants based on gasoline engines also have the advantage that they are designed for a long service life. This is due to the constant mileage that is required in our three-shift operation. We urgently need the power of the CHP unit, and the fact that valuable energy is also saved is of course more than welcome for us.

The installation takes several days and requires a lot of adaptation work to our existing infrastructure. Nevertheless, we hope to be able to put the new CHP into operation before Christmas. The investment in the CHP unit is part of our modernization offensive at ILFA. We are very pleased that the installation was completed just before Christmas. This means we can start the new year 2022 “full of energy” right away.

ILFA invests in new CF 200 high-vacuum plugging machine from I.T.C. Intercircuit

During the IPC APEX Expo 2024 in Anaheim, California, we awarded I.T.C. Intercircuit, one of the leading suppliers of equipment for the PCB industry, the contract for a new plugging machine. The CF 200 high-vacuum plugging machine is a real innovation: filling and cleaning take place in just one fully air-conditioned chamber, and through-holes and blind holes on both sides of the PCB are filled in a single operation.

Trade and in-house production of printed circuit boards: The best of both worlds at ILFA

The ILFA business model combines the best of both worlds for its customers: The in-house production of complex printed circuit boards in Hanover as well as the trade with printed circuit boards from controlled external production. Our Asian partners are personally qualified by our own local office in Shenzhen. Regular audits ensure consistent material quality and smooth production processes. From small batch sizes for samples to large series, we can fulfil any request. This makes us particularly interesting for all electronics companies that do not have their own contacts in Asia.

Prospective electrical engineering assistants visit ILFA

In February, we had 14 vocational students training to become electrical engineering assistants visit ILFA. In addition to four of their teachers, they brought with them a great thirst for knowledge and numerous questions about ILFA and our printed circuit boards. The 14 young people attend the BBS ME in Hanover, where they complete the two-year school-based training programme.
