Euro Foods Saves £26,400.00 ($42,500.00) per year with LPA pumps

Established in 1991, Euro Foods Group processes, imports, exports and distributes frozen sea food, meat, poultry, vegetables and herbs supplying an extensive range of top quality Asian foods to caterers,wholesalers and supermarkets. It has several factories in Bangladesh and distributes products from its Euro Foods depots in Sunderland and Barking and head office in Newport, South Wales. The Newport site has a large cold store and processing facility, including two refrigeration packs which are responsible for a large proportion of the site’s energy consumption, and a blast chiller. Keen to reduce the energy bills, and the site’s environmental impact, Euro Foods reviewed where it could make efficiencies.“Although it’s important for us to been environmentally conscientious,” says General Manager Andrew Miller, “we needed to make sure that any changes made would not have any detrimental effect on our processes.”Andrew invited a specialist refrigeration consultancy on site to help identify the most promising energy saving measures, and the installation of LPA® pumps at Euro foods (Liquid Pressure Amplification) was recommended as a result.

Calculations showed this would save £26,400 ($42,500) per year and cut the site’s carbon emissions by 121 tonnes per year. Based on these figures,

Euro Foods successfully applied for a Carbon Trust interest-free business loan of £72,000 to finance the installation.
