Aviko LEAF

Background

LEAF is the acronym for Low Energy and Fat, an innovative production facility by Aviko. Aviko discovered that the production process for chipped potato products still allowed for great savings on energy and fat by way of alternative production techniques. The aim of this innovation is to create a production facility that eliminates these inefficiencies. More sustainable production has a twofold effect: healthier end products and a better yield.

Overview

Van Lente Systeemintegratie made a large contribution to the achievement of innovative and sustainable production technology for frying and cooling processes. Smart energy meters type Sentron PAC 3200 and 4200 were connected along the entire line. This allowed for insight into which user is consuming energy and when.
