Abstract

The use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the design stage of technical objects is presented in this paper. The environmental analysis is done on the wrapping machine, with the special interest given to its gear transmission. Using LCA, environmental profiles and environmental indices for different constructions o f gear wheels are elaborated and on this basis, an optimal combination of materials for elements of transmission gear: shaft, gear wheels and body is proposed. The analysis of results brings interesting observations and conclusions, important for both machine designers and producers.
