AFS Cooks Up A Saving for Major Bakery
(PRWEB UK) 24 April 2014 -- AFS, who specialise in low & high pressure compressed air solutions, installed a compressor system to help the bakery optimise energy efficiency. The solution was designed to improve the performance of an existing compressor, and to incorporate a new compressor which will recover up to 50kW of heat energy. The recovered heat will be re-used to heat water systems on site.
The package included the latest compressed air dryer technology, the Parker Antares, which ensures the company achieves BRC-level air quality and dew point standards with minimum purge air loss.
AFS designed, supplied, installed and commissioned the system on time and on budget, once again proving their ability to understand and meet customers’ needs. The company has experienced significant growth in the food sector in recent years thanks to outstanding technical ability and customer service. AFS's clients include Arla Foods, Allied Bakeries, Heinz and United Biscuits.
Andy Ryan, Director at AFS, said: “The bakery started to save money as soon as the new compressed air system was installed, and should see a return on its investment within the first year. It’s a great example of the sort of solution we can develop to help clients to manage day-to-day operations more effectively and reduce ongoing energy costs.”
