Bottle-to-bottle Pelletising Inline Applications NPE / Orlando / Florida / 23.-27.3.2015 West Hall Level 2 / W5673 been achieving energy savings of 15% since May 2014. In a worst case scenario, ROI is likely to be a maximum of 3 years. The Plant Manager envisages additional potential for savings through a reduction in maintenance frequency. Typically, the compressors have been serviced twice a year, the Vito, however, is done on a once a year basis. For reasons of space, the compressor is tucked away in one corner of the building, rather than away from the production area. Although the installation does not incorporate any enclosure or a special foundation, the noise and vibra- tion levels from the compressor are scarcely noticeable inside the production hall. Once all the modification works in the filling zone have been completed, the space will be reclaimed and the compressor will disappear to its tradi- tional home in a building away from the factory floor. www.grupposem.it  www.siadmi.com Marcello Fiorani, Managing Director S.E.M.
