Integrated thermal power plant for Avi.Coop (Amadori Group)

Avi.Coop is part of the Amadori Group, one of Italy’s leading agri-food companies, known for its vertically integrated production chain and strong focus on quality, efficiency, and innovation. The Santa Sofia plant plays a strategic role in processing operations, supporting the Group’s commitment to sustainable growth and high-performance industrial solutions.

There were two primary challenges: we needed to provide a solution integrating two process fluids — thermal oil and steam/hot water — which are necessary for product processing. While the existing plant already featured a complex system, the expansion required a new facility with greater efficiency and energy savings.

Our collaboration with Avi.Coop began thanks to prior negotiations, which helped us build a trusted relationship.

We worked closely with Avi.Coop’s technical project manager and OF.RA. Srl, the design firm responsible for the thermal power plant’s meticulous and detailed design. Our technical approach, supported by the design team and Avi.Coop’s technical department, allowed us to fully understand their requirements and ensure the solution matched production needs.

Our solution included installing:

• Two high-efficiency thermal oil boilers
• Two indirect clean steam generators
• A thermophysical deaerator
• An expansion tank for the oil circuit

The thermal oil generators were equipped with economizers to enhance the plant’s thermal efficiency.

To maximize flexibility and availability, the provided packages were designed to ensure system reliability. All supplied items include a control panel to optimize operations, enabling remote connectivity for the customer and remote support from Cannon Bono.

Boiler efficiency was a key strength acknowledged by Avi.Coop and OF.RA. Srl, both already aware of our high-quality products. Thanks to this synergy, every choice — from boiler capacity to system technologies — was optimized to guarantee efficiency and sustainability. We demonstrated our ability to provide significant added value with meticulous attention to detail.

An advanced thermal power plant was developed, tailored to the customer’s production needs while ensuring energy savings and high performance. This integrated, highly efficient solution was specifically designed to support growth and ongoing innovation in the food industry.
