Dairy producer reduces refrigeration energy use with Dyneo permanent magnet motors
Since refrigeration is a key element in the manufacturing process, optimum operation and reliability is paramount.
Inex, a Belgium-based producer of dairy products, achieved minimum energy savings of at least 18% from its refrigeration process as a result of switching to Dyneo permanent magnet motor technology from Emerson Industrial Automation USA LLC (formerly Control Techniques Americas LLC), Eden Prairie, Minn., and Leroy-Somer Motors & Drives, a St. Louis-based unit of Emerson Industrial Automation. The solution, which also features a Leroy-Somer Powerdrive high-power modular drive, is being used in an industrial refrigeration system that cools milk after pasteurization or sterilization.
Based near Ghent, Inex specializes in milk, chocolate milk, buttermilk, fermented milk, yogurt, cream and butter for large European retail chains and multinationals.
