From doubt to trust: how DLS technology in Sitep's blast chillers convinced even the most sceptical
In a factory in central Italy, specialising in the production of bakery products, everything ran with precision and flexibility.
The watchword was flexibilityCustomers changed their minds often and the production team knew how to respond in real time, reorganising shifts, machinery and batches even several times a day.
At the head of the plant, a director with clear ideas and years of experience. Faced with the proposal to replace the trolley-based abatement cell with a new-generation Sitep solution, he did not hide his skepticism:
“We already have a system that works. Why should we change it?”
The proposal was supported by the plant’s technical director, who was convinced that there was room for improvement. Because while it was true that flexibility was a strong point, it was equally true that energy efficiency left much to be desired: the abatement cell was always kept on, “for safety”, even when it was used only for short cycles, a few times a day.
The question that emerged was clear: can we maintain our flexibility while improving efficiency?
The answer came from Sitep, with a tailor-made solution:
a trolley chilling cell equipped with DLS – Dynamic Lamination System technology, capable of quickly bringing the refrigeration cycle up to speed, only when necessary.
The benefits? Immediate and measurable:
- Targeted ignition: the cell is activated only when needed, eliminating unnecessary energy consumption.
- Rapid freezing: DLS allows you to reach the desired temperature in record time, guaranteeing product quality and safety.
- Enhanced flexibility: production can now change direction even multiple times a day… without increasing costs.
- Visible ROI: Energy savings have already started to pay off the investment.
Today, even the plant manager changed his mind:
“I admit I had doubts, but DLS technology has allowed us to maintain our strong point – flexibility – while improving an aspect that penalized us. We would not go back”.
Another example of how Sitep does not limit itself to supplying systems, but accompanies companies in change, listening to doubts and offering solutions that work, even when they do not seem necessary.
