The Challenge
The plant had been depending on its on-site adiabatic coolers to provide the low temperatures needed by the internal Erema systems, which are essential for the manufacturing process. The coolers were not meeting the required standards anymore, and they were not cooling to levels that were required. The factory’s production rates consequently were greatly impacted, with processes being slowed and the risk of expensive downtime.
With the continuing effect on productivity and threat to operational effectiveness, there was an immediate need for a long-term, permanent solution to get the factory back up to its required operating standards and achieve production goals.
Cross Rental Services Solution
We strategically used the available adiabatic pipework infrastructure to solve the cooling problem, which gave us a good base for an improved system of cooling. We fitted two 500kW chillers, each with built-in tanks and pump sets, and these gave a total capacity for cooling of 1MW at a steady 7°C. This tailor-made solution offered a very efficient and effective system of cooling, completely restoring the factory’s cooling system to its peak operation.
By making use of the existing infrastructure and fitting in the new chillers, we were able to reduce downtime and achieve seamless integration with the existing systems.
The Outcome
As an integral part of our regular service provision, the site receives constant servicing and maintenance to keep the cooling system in tip-top condition. Not only has the addition of the new chillers rectified the immediate problem of the cooling system but also seen a huge boost in production capability. Indeed, the factory currently runs at production levels much higher than those previously achieved before the installation of the chiller units, with increased efficiency and dependability.
This proactive approach has not only addressed the immediate concerns but also future-proofed the factory’s cooling system, ensuring the site can continue to operate smoothly and meet future demands. No matter the situation you’re faced with, we have you covered!
