THE CHALLENGE
Cooling for yogurt manufacturer to meet contractual demand
Our customer, one of the most popular dairy brands in the UK, were planning maintenance and upgrade of their main cooling system at their yoghurt manufacturing facility.
They required an alternative cooling solution for downtime of at least 2 weeks.
They were operating 3 glycol chillers as the main cooling system onsite. With a chiller offline, production must still continue at full capacity to ensure the company met its contractual demand.
It was important that we provided a swift solution due to reduced production carrying the risk of penalties and reputational damage to the business.
THE SOLUTION
720 kW cooling package as turnkey solution
Our solution was to supply supplementary cooling to the existing system to prevent downtime and maintain production whilst their cooler was offline.
We installed 2 x 360 kW chillers at -4°C, inclusive of pump sets, to meet the customer’s required flow rate.
Aggreko operated as a turnkey solution supplier with all equipment remotely connected to Aggreko Remote Monitoring (ARM) our 24/7 monitoring services where we can monitor the health of the equipment and remotely control it to ensure maximum efficiency, reducing emissions and saving fuel costs.
THE IMPACT
Full trust in Aggreko expertise to run at full capacity
We successfully provided the best-fit solution to supply the required cooling capacity, ensuring production continuity at maximum capacity. As a result, the customer honoured the contractual agreements to deliver quantity and quality of their products.
A turnkey provider with a great service reputation was key for the customer, they were reassured they had the full support of the wider operations and service teams at Aggreko supporting them.
Winning the customer’s trust to provide the right solution, equipment and level of service required has led to further opportunities.
The site is in the midst of a 2-year program to replace all 9 existing cooling towers onsite. We have additional plans to support this by supplying the ice water chiller system.
