Environmentally friendly packaging
30. Mai 2023
In order to reduce the ecological footprint, we are changing the packaging of the energy-saving instantaneous water heaters this year. Whereas previously the cartons were provided with an additional, multi-colour printed offset lamination, they are now printed directly using the single-colour flexographic printing process. CLAGE is thus setting an example for the entire industry.
The decision for the new packaging concept is the logical consequence of CLAGE's commitment to sustainability and climate protection. In concrete terms, this means: Thanks to the new packaging concept, we use 240 kg less ink per year than before. Flexo printing requires about 35% less energy to produce the cartons. By printing the cartons directly, we save about 30 tonnes of offset paper per year. These large quantities of paper no longer have to be delivered. This reduces road traffic and means about 652 kg less CO2 emissions per year.
Despite the change in printing technology, the cartons remain visually appealing and durable, so that the products inside are well protected during transport and storage. The cartons are now consistently labelled in two languages, German and English. A QR code refers to installation videos for the unit. Certification logos are also displayed.
CLAGE at the ISH 2023 · 17. März 2023
After a four-year break due to the pandemic, the international sanitary, heating and air-conditioning industry finally met again for intensive networking at the ISH in Frankfurt am Main from 13 to 17 March 2023. More than 150,000 visitors from 154 countries came to find out about innovative future technologies. Trend topics such as climate protection and security of supply were present everywhere. CLAGE impressed the trade public in Hall 12.1 on more than 200 square metres with many application-related hot-water installations. A particular visitor magnet was the fountain in the centre of the stand. The large LED wall with the friendly drop of water was also very well received by the visitors. CLAGE's clear recommendation to the industry: separate heating and hot water! In new buildings and renovations, modern heating systems should be combined with decentrally installed electric instantaneous water heaters. The hot water is then provided just-in-time, directly at the desired temperature. In this way, energy losses are consistently avoided and independence from oil and gas can be achieved. The visitors were able to study how this can be implemented in practice using a 3D house model made of Plexiglas. On the accompanying iPad, various heating and water systems in the house could be faded in and out, and concrete devices were suggested when zooming in on the rooms. You can visit the virtual house model here. So much practical relevance enthused the visitors and ensured many good conversations. For CLAGE, ISH 2023 was a complete success!
New design for compact instant water heaters
05. Januar 2022
The compact electric instantaneous water heaters of the C-series from CLAGE provide a fast and efficient hot water supply in the kitchen. From 2022, they will now appear with a new design. The »CFX-U« comes with a new Bluetooth remote control with e-paper display, high-quality real glass cover and modern sensor buttons.
The temperature of the »CEX« and »CEX-U« models can now be read on a large LED display. The temperature is set directly on the unit via the new sensor buttons. This has once again significantly improved user-friendliness and the new units now also match the other two instantaneous water heater series from CLAGE perfectly in terms of appearance.
