Brewery more than doubles filling capacity with VLT® FlexConcept®
07 June 2012
By installing a new KEG filling line using VLT® OneGearDrive® geared motors, frequency converters from the VLT® AutomationDrive series, and VLT® Decentral Drives, Rothaus AG has increased its filling capacity from 120 to 280 KEGs per hour with fewer drive types, and without increasing overall energy consumption.
Project manager Ralf Krieger and Filling Manager Roger Jäger from Rothaus AG, aided by their teams, selected Danfoss products for the drive systems of the new plant.
“We have used Danfoss frequency converters with success for several years and knew there was a potential to reduce the number of drive types in our production. The VLT® FlexConcept® also helps us to reduce our spare parts inventory,” explains Ralf Krieger, who also took the opportunity to start testing Danfoss VLT® OneGearDrive®.
