Desco: energy-saving steam boilers for food production
Desco enhanced the efficiency and reliability of its food production processes by installing two SG HE Smart high-efficiency steam boilers, enabling significant energy savings, improved plant stability, and optimized steam generation for continuous industrial operations.
Desco: the client
Desco S.p.A., founded in 1963, is a well-established Italian company specializing in canned and semi-finished tomato-based products. With a strong presence in southern Italy and a modern production facility in Pontinia, Desco is known for its quality standards, long-standing expertise, and commitment to improving production efficiency while reducing energy consumption.
The challenge
Cannon Bono boilers have powered Desco’s production since the 1970s. To advance their production processes, in 2008 Desco built a new plant in Pontinia, central Italy, and sought new, upgraded solutions that would allow them to also pursue energy consumption reduction and continuous improvement in addition to meeting their performance needs.
The solution
To meet their needs, our team supplied two new 20 t/h SG HE 2000 units. The SG HE Smart series is the most efficient product from our steam boiler range, equipped with a load-sharing system to autonomously manage the power generated by the boilers optimizing the generator’s operation while maintaining the best condition of pressure stability for plants using steam.
Since their installation, preliminary evaluations show a reduction in natural gas consumption by 7-8% with excellent plant stability.
