After a previous successful installation of an afterburner (RTO) at Berry Global in Hardenberg, CERVITECH BV and RELOX GMBH have now also successfully completed the project at the Berry factory in Worcester. The system is fully operational and approved by the customer. This project delivers significant benefits in energy efficiency and production performance.

What did the project entail?

The RTO project at Berry Global in Worcester involved three main components:

1. Projectmanagement

CERVITECH BV took on the complete project management, both from the Netherlands and on site in England. By working closely with Berry Global, we ensured that the project was delivered on time and met all the specifications and requirements.

2. Energy efficiency improvement and connection of seven flex units

An important milestone was the successful coupling of seven flex units to the new afterburner. This adjustment resulted in:

• A smaller airflow to the RTO.
• A higher concentration of solvents, allowing the RTO to reach autothermic operation more quickly.
• Reduced gas consumption and improved energy efficiency.

In addition, bypass valves and piping were optimized, improving the performance of both the flexo presses and the RTO.

3. Delivery, installation and commissioning

RELOX GMBH supplied the new RTO and was responsible for the mechanical and electrical installation. CERVITECH supervised this work and carried out the commissioning. The integration of the RTO with the existing plant went smoothly.

During the start-up phase, the afterburner was first put into operation, followed by the coupling of all machines. The entire system is now running to full satisfaction.

CERVITECH: Ready for the future
