In today’s industrial landscape, optimising consumption is no longer just an ethical choice, but a key competitive asset. Recently, a leading Italian group in the poultry sector renewed its trust in Ortea for the energy efficiency improvement of its production sites, confirming a partnership firmly focused on operational excellence.
The new supply concerns two large-size machines, rated respectively at 1600 kVA and 2000 kVA, designed to improve energy efficiency and optimise the management of supply voltage in energy-intensive industrial contexts.
The configurations were sized on the basis of energy audits carried out in close collaboration with the company’s energy manager at the production sites and also include commissioning services, technical reporting and an extension of the Ortea Care warranty.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ENERGY SAVING IN FEED MILLS
The feed production sector is characterised by energy-intensive processes, where machinery such as mills, mixers and presses operates continuously with variable loads. In this context, voltage stability and improved Power Quality are crucial.
In a feed production plant, the benefits of an energy efficiency solution are not limited to reducing consumption alone. The most relevant advantages are also operational and managerial.
1. REDUCTION OF ENERGY COSTS
The first objective is naturally to contain electricity expenditure. In plants where motors, fans, conveyors and automated lines operate for many hours a day, optimising supply parameters can generate tangible and measurable savings.
2. GREATER PROCESS STABILITY
In the feed sector, operational continuity is essential. Shutdowns, anomalies or inefficiencies affect productivity and planning. An intelligent device for energy efficiency helps make upstream energy management more controlled.
3. BETTER PLANT SUSTAINABILITY
Reducing consumption also means reducing the overall energy impact of the production site. For large agri-food groups, which are increasingly attentive to sustainability, efficiency and competitiveness, this is a central issue. The company involved in this supply itself clearly communicates its commitment to innovation, supply chain development and long-term sustainability.
4. DATA, CONTROL AND MONITORING
In a modern energy management strategy, data availability is essential. Systems such as Enersolve make it possible to combine efficiency with monitoring tools that are useful for measuring results, checking consumption trends and supporting future decisions.
TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE SUPPLY: TWO TAILOR-MADE CONFIGURATIONS FOR DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS
The supply includes two Enersolve devices, one rated at 1600 kVA and one at 2000 kVA, developed on the same technological basis but configured differently to suit the specific requirements of the two plants.
Both machines ensure high efficiency, precise voltage control, independent phase regulation and monitoring through a MID meter and Ortea XCloud. In both cases, therefore, the aim is to combine energy savings, operational reliability and continuous performance monitoring.
The differences mainly concern size, installation environment and protection equipment.
The 1600 kVA model is intended for indoor installation and features a configuration with a by-pass system and surge protection devices. These are useful solutions to increase operational safety and ensure greater continuity even in the event of anomalies or maintenance work. For logistical reasons, the machine was designed and manufactured in two separate parts, to be reconnected during commissioning.
The 2000 kVA model, by contrast, is designed for outdoor installation and features a configuration more focused on robustness and the management of higher power levels. Its IP55 protection rating makes it suitable for harsher environments, while its higher installed power makes it ideal for serving more substantial loads.
Overall, this supply demonstrates Ortea’s ability to offer customised, non-standard solutions: each machine is configured according to the application context, with specific equipment designed to maximise efficiency, protection and operational continuity.
THE MOST IMPORTANT VALUE: TRUST RENEWED OVER TIME
Beyond the technical specifications, the most significant aspect of this supply is another one: the confirmation of the customer’s trust.
When a structured agri-food group of such prestige repeatedly chooses Ortea solutions, the message is clear: it is tangible proof of customer satisfaction. This is not simply a one-off purchase, but the continuation of an already established path, built on concrete results, reliable technology and the quality of the support received.
This is precisely where one of Ortea’s strengths emerges: not only the ability to provide technologies for energy efficiency, but also the ability to build solid and lasting industrial relationships.
FAQ
WHAT IS ENERSOLVE?
Enersolve is an intelligent energy efficiency device designed to optimise the energy supply parameters of loads and contribute to reducing electricity consumption in industrial plants.
WHY INSTALL AN ENERGY-SAVING DEVICE IN A FEED MILL?
Because a feed mill is a production site with high energy consumption, with many users operating continuously or for extended periods. Improving energy efficiency in this context means reducing operating costs, increasing consumption control and supporting the competitiveness of the plant.
IS ENERSOLVE SUITABLE FOR COMPLEX INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS?
Yes. The configurations offered show features suited to structured industrial contexts: high nominal power ratings, wide load tolerance, independent phase control, by-pass systems, dedicated protection devices, monitoring and construction solutions designed for both indoor and outdoor installations.
DO ENERSOLVE DEVICES REQUIRE A LOT OF MAINTENANCE?
Thanks to a consolidated design and years of accumulated experience, maintenance is minimal. In addition, the Ortea Care service offers full coverage for 5 years.
