“Maintenance Manager Davide Scebba explains the reasoning behind the decision: “When we evaluated the upgrading of our bottling lines equipped with Danfoss drives at the end of their service life, we also evaluated all other solutions on the market, and we decided to continue our relationship with Danfoss because we found what we were looking for in the VLT® FlexConcept®: a high degree of energy efficiency and great ease in replacing the existing concept. This simplicity is evidenced by the fact that we independently installed and tested the new drive system.” Danfoss VLT® FlexConcept® delivers best total cost of ownership (TCO) The Peroni Brewery belongs to the SABMiller Group, one of the largest beer producers in the world with over 200 brands and around 70,000 employees in 75 countries, and is now one of the leading players in the brewing industry. The Peroni Brewery has been working with commitment and passion for over 160 years and now produces 4.8 million hectoliters of beer annually. Since 1846, the brewery has renewed its respect for the needs of consumers and customers on a daily basis through its high quality products. The plant’s Technical Office conducted a study on energy consumption in the bottling lines as part of a series of investments aimed at reducing energy costs. This analysis was carried out in response to a need to replace the now obsolete pool of VLT® 3000/5000 series AC drives. An accurate assessment of the various solutions available on the market based on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) principles led to the designation of the Danfoss VLT® FlexConcept® solution as the best solution for the needs of the plant in Rome due to the many advantages it offers. This is based not only on the increase in energy efficiency, but also on the reduction of various costs related to the management of bottle transport along with the extreme ease of retrofitting. 2
