Embedding sustainability across brewery operations

Brewing is an energy intensive industry, with volatile energy prices putting operators under unprecedented pressures to reduce consumption of electricity across all their operations. Equally, manufacturers must look to minimize CO2 emissions and reduce waste as part of the drive to greater sustainability.

Our highly efficient motors and drives can reduce power consumption by up to 50% in energy intensive applications such as fans, pumps, sieves, decanters, compressors and conveyors. Our PLCs provide precise control over processes, optimizing efficiency and realizing tangible savings in energy consumption and carbon emissions while improving plant performance and reducing maintenance needs.
