Case Study: Peroni Brewery achieves 30% better bottle transport efficiency with Danfoss VLT FlexConcept

Peroni Brewery selects Danfoss VLT FlexConcept to optimize operating costs

Peroni Brewery, a part of the SABMiller Group, needed to replace obsolete drives on its bottling lines to reduce energy costs and optimize operations. The plant's Technical Office conducted an analysis based on Total Cost of Ownership to find the best solution, which led them to evaluate options from vendor Danfoss.

Danfoss implemented its VLT FlexConcept solution, which included VLT AutomationDrive FC302 drives and VLT OneGearDrive permanent magnet gearmotors. The results included a more than 30% improvement in the electrical efficiency of the bottle transport belts and a return on investment in just 23 months. The solution also provided minimal maintenance, requiring only an oil change after 35,000 hours, and a 40% reduction in cleaning time due to its hygienic design.
