Case story VLT® FlexConcept® helps Molson Coors’ Borsodi Brewery to save a lot of energy Breweries consume a lot of energy in running their processes. At Molson Coors’ Borsodi Brewery in northeastern Hungary, an upgrade of the gear motors on a glass bottle filling line has resulted in energy savings of 33-42%. Improved reliability and productivity as well as reduced water consumption and emissions bring extra cost savings. The payback time of the retrofitting project will be less than three years. The glass bottle filling line with a capacity of 35.000 bottles (0.33 liters and 0.5 liters) per hour had served the Borsodi Brewery for 24 years. Only a few motors were speed controlled by an AC drive, so the performance of the complete system was far less than optimal. As Molson Coors Group has set ambitious targets regarding energy and water efficiency and carbon intensity, a total of 36 old gear motors needed to be replaced with more efficient, speed-controlled motors. Up to 42% energy savings at full load drives.danfoss.com
