How The Danfoss VLT Flex Concept Increases Energy Efficiency In Bottling Plants
The beverage industry is big business and increases in energy prices has an impact on production costs. Therefore using a manufacturing process that reduces energy consumption reduces the chances of production costs being passed on to the consumer. Danfoss engineers have developed a highly effective system that not only overcomes energy efficiency issues but also takes into consideration the hygiene requirements of components in the food and beverage industry. In Italy, the Danfoss VLT Flex Concept system has reportedly saved 30% energy in bottling lines where 1800 bottles are processed in an hour.
The Danfoss VLT Flex Concept system immediately reduces running costs by standardizing the components so that only two reduction connections and two frequency converter sizes are needed for more than 80 operational systems. With only two exchangeable parts and one electronic control unit, the risk of plant shut downs, due to component replacement, is virtually nil. Not only does this allow companies to budget more efficiency it also makes stock control much quicker and cost effective.
The Danfoss VLT Flex Concept System also addresses the need to ensure that all components are cleaned to EHEDG certification standards. The Danfoss VLT Flex Concept System reduces cleaning time by 40%, compared to traditional systems. The IP67 and IP69k ingress protection levels guarantee perfect system sealing, enabling all components to be washed thoroughly. Another bonus is that an oil lubricant replacement is required once every seven years.
If you have an old system that you are not ready to replace in its entirety you will be pleased to know that the Danfoss VLT Flex Concept System can be retrofitted to most production lines. This mix and match facility results in you being able to replace your systems components as they come to the end of their natural working life. Of course having a variety of motors will not produce the same return on investment (ROI) as replacing the whole system but you will see the benefit as you convert completely to Danfoss VLT Flex Concept System drives.
