GEA supplied a 45,000 l/h pasteurization system which was pre-assembled, pre-piped and pre-wired on a skid in Germany. With no on site pipework required, only the product and power lines had to be connected once the system was in situ, so installation and commissioning was really fast.
The installed GEA MSI 400 milk separator features an integrated direct drive, which reduces energy consumption compared with conventional drive configurations. Control of the entire processing line at the Aurivo site is now fully automated, using the Siemens S7-300 programmable logic controller system. Contract totalled $4.9 million.
we could double the amount of hot water pro- duced, and so potentially double our capacity for pasteurization,” he added.
GEA product manager for heat pumps, Kenneth Hoffmann, said GEA configured and installed all the equipment to suit the site.
“All the way through the project we were focused on offering a complete solution, not just individual parts, so that our technologies could help to reduce waste, energy consump- tion and use of fossil fuels, while increasing capacity and making the Aurivo facility one of the most sustainable dairy plants in Ire- land,” Hoffmann said.
Aurivo is continuing to partner with GEA via a service level agreement giving the company ac- cess to a local service team 24/7.
KIRBY HAS INTRODUCED the new Gree D- Series and Lennox eComfort chillers to their portfolio, increasing the range of chiller op- tions now available.
The Gree D-Series chillers are suitable for new builds or to retrofit existing buildings such as hotels, apartments, restaurants, office buildings, shopping malls, theatres, gyms, workshops and hospitals.
Models range between 65kw and 249kw, with their modular design also allowing grouping of different units to achieve the re- quired duty.
Combine up to 16 of the 65kW and 80kW models, or 8 of the 130kW, 160kW and 249kW models to achieve a massive 1,990kW of cooling capacity.
Furthermore, Gree D-Series Chillers are reverse cycle and can be used for cooling in summer and heating in winter.
Adding to the existing Lennox Ecolean and Lennox Neosys ranges, Kir- by now also offers customers the new Lennox eComfort range.
With a compact, low profile and good architectural integration, these chillers are perfect for commercial offices, data centres, hotels, hospitals, shopping malls, non-food retail and process cooling.
Eurovent certified, the Lennox eCom- fort delivers high efficiencies all year
round, exceeding European Energy Efficiency 2021 Requirement (ErP). They also deliver some of the lowest sound levels on the market thanks to A3S Active Acoustic Attenuation.
To complement the chiller offer Kirby is also equipped with Lennox Aqualean water source packaged units; Kirby glycol evaporators; refrig- erant; and even OEM and replacement coil prod- ucts. And, with a wealth of industry experience, a team of dedicated Field Engineers are on hand to assist with any selection enquiries.
Gree D-Series chillers are reverse cycle.
