Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I finds 40-60% energy savings in pump system retrofits

Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I's only UK factory, producer of iconic drinks like Ribena and Lucozade, was facing constant breakdowns, poor performance, and system imbalances from its ageing, manually controlled pump systems. With a company-wide pledge to cut carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050, the factory needed a solution that addressed both reliability and energy efficiency. 

Grundfos retrofitted four critical applications, town water, treated water, primary chilled water, and central chilled water, with electronically controlled E-pumps featuring built-in variable speed drives and digital cloud connectivity through Grundfos. 

Key Stats & Highlights: 

The new pumps now run on demand, with pressure and temperature control replacing manual operation, eliminating the reactive "phone call" problem and giving the team remote monitoring and a quieter, safer working environment.
