UNICER Bottling Company

The issue

Unicer is the largest Portuguese exporter of beer. They currently export to more than 50 countries, mainly through Super Bock, which is the bestselling Portuguese beer in the world. With almost a century of experience, Unicer Bebidas produces around 700 million litres annually, of which 400 million litres is beer. Environmental concerns and cost reduction were key elements in the company’s decision to focus on energy consumption. The bottling plant in Porto was experiencing high summer temperatures, due to the presence of bottling machines as well.

Solution and installation

The official supplier of Seeley International products in Portugal, has suggested Breezair evaporative cooling. Breezair could be the best environmental friendly solution to reduce high summer temperatures in the bottling plant.

Evaporative cooling products are the perfect solution for commercial and industrial spaces, including bottling company air conditioning. They can cool huge areasat a fraction of costs compared to traditional A/C.  These evaporative cooling products are also perfect for companies that wish to reduce carbon emission without compromising on staff and customers’ wellbeing”.

After a trial installation of 2 Breezair TBA 550 units, the company supplied 9 Breezair TBA 550 evaporative coolers and 2 Enviromagic, to cool the bottle filling line.

The summer temperatures of 35°C were reduced by 10-11°C (depending on outside humidity),. This is a great result for an industrial plant with no previously installed air conditioning system. Employers and Management were highly satisfied both by the trial and the final installation. Not only the installation of Breezair has improved temperature inside the plant, but it also improved indoor air quality.
