Delhaize’s new wine bottling plant in Kobbegem (Asse) is the largest in the Benelux at 9,500 m² of surface area. The plant allows the retailer to bottle 36 million litres of wine a year. In total, there are about 150 different references.
As a loyal customer, Delhaize ordered all of the conveyors for the three new lines from Actemium. Delhaize could count on Actemium during every step of the process, from design, assembly, e-cabinets, installation, and cabling to effective commissioning with integration of the existing and new machines into the new lines.
Together, we looked for sustainable solutions to make the installation as energy-efficient and maintenance-friendly as possible. We chose a ‘dry run’ system to save on water and lubricants, while at the same time, this system consumes less energy thanks to the low frictional resistance of the components. Among others, Actemium used OGD permanent magnet motors and the brand-new generation of IC7 frequency inverters, both from partner Danfoss. This drive choice results in 25% lower consumption than traditional induction motors.
A fantastic partnership between customer and suppliers of which we are particularly proud.
