Scope of works:

Bakkavor Foods is the UK’s leading manufacturer of pre-prepared food and has multiple processing sites across the country.

Key challenges:

• Working with strict hygiene and operating conditions.
• Supporting the facility’s move to reduce energy consumption.
• Managing resources and expectations whilst operating in a live factory environment.
• Ensuring minimal downtime as the compressors are needed constantly across the production process.

Solutions:

• Arcade engineers designed an intelligent system to capture waste heat from air processors used throughout the production process.
• The captured heat is used to pre-heat water used for steam processors and wash down operations at the end of each shift.
• Hot wells were installed to prevent boiler shock.
