Atlas Copco Rental’s steam boiler keeps brewery in full production
Ngày 15 tháng 10 năm 2019
Agrofirma Tērvete is a modern diversified enterprise in Tērvete, Latvia, specializing in crop production, dairy farming, horse breeding, biogas production, food retail and catering. Over the years, the company has developed beer-brewing expertise – and today, Tērvete beer has gained wide recognition among Latvian beer connoisseurs.
The brewery has its own 1.2-ton steam boiler, which is used in the beer production process, as well as a steam generator that provides additional assistance. In March 2019, their boiler suffered a sudden breakdown, and an inspection confirmed that the downtime would be at least one month…
Steam boiler to the rescue
The added value of Atlas Copco Rental’s solution
First of all, the fact that we could fill the brewery’s need so quickly had an immense impact financially: their boiler broke down at the start of their peak production – so, without the replacement boiler, their production would have been down by about 75%. Furthermore, the boiler has low operation costs and does not require an operator to be constantly present. In addition, the downtime lasted longer than expected – but as the replacement steam boiler ended up being used for a longer period of time, the customer had the chance to enjoy the flexibility of our renting times as well.
Providing exactly what they needed
Mr. Endijs Drebeiniks, Thermal Engineer at Agrofirma Tērvete, had this to say about working with Atlas Copco Rental: “I found Atlas Copco’s website via an online search. When I saw the wide range of boilers, I knew we could get a specific boiler for our project. I’m very satisfied with the solution, because it was exactly what we needed. I would definitely recommend Atlas Copco. The solution that they provided was very specific and they were able to deliver everything our company required very quickly. I also really like the fact that their rental terms are so flexible!”
