Food industry

The customer of KAESER Kompressoren SE is a dairy cooperative with a long tradition and international experience. In addition to standard products such as skimmed milk and sweet whey powder, special products are also produced. State-of-the-art ultrafiltration processes are used to produce high-quality protein concentrates, which are becoming increasingly important in the nutrition industry, dietetics, children’s nutrition and health food.

Higher energy efficiency thanks to KAESER screw blower

Due to the increasing demand and thus production, planning began for a new, larger purification plant for the water produced in the manufacture of dairy products. In the future, the nutrient load of different amount of water produced would be biologically degraded in batches in four sequential batches reactors. Four fans would ensure the air supply for the microorganisms involved in this process.

• Comparable functionality of electric automation from individual components
• Significant energy and cost savings through the use of KAESER screw blowers instead of screw compressors
• Fast and smooth commissioning
• Clear documentation, CE and EMC certification
• Completeness of the scope of supply facilitated not only the planning of investment costs, but also the comparative calculation of energy costs, as the performance data for the fully operational machine were transparently available in advance.
• Process reliability guaranteed: Independent of the process control system, KAESER blowers can be easily switched to manual operation at any time via menu selection in the KAESER SIGMA Control 2 without rewiring or re-parameterisation. Thus, if necessary, these machines can be the last remaining functional island to supply the microorganisms in the aeration with air and thus keep them alive.
