Case Study: Benton Ecological Solutions and Technology achieves precise energy monitoring for seafood processing trials with NewFound Energy's in-line plug-in meter unit

Benton Ecological Solutions and Technology - Customer Case Study

Benton Ecological Solutions and Technology was tasked by the Irish fisheries board, Bord Iascaigh Mhara, to determine the operating efficiency of a food processing machine. They needed a robust way to precisely measure the energy consumption per batch cycle in a wet industrial environment. NewFound Energy provided their in line plug-in meter unit to address this challenge.

The solution from NewFound Energy was an electricity meter housed in an IP-rated enclosure with standard plug-in connectors, making it perfect for the conditions. This provided a precise measurement of kWh used for each batch, allowing Benton to calculate exact kWh/kg and kWh/tonne values. This data enabled accurate operating cost calculations, which were critical for determining the feasibility of deploying this waste processing equipment throughout the Irish seafood industry.
