Retrofit to avoid cracks and openings in the floor

Produced for Arla Foods

Dairy products

Arla Foods amba is a Danish multinational cooperative based in Viby, Denmark, and the largest producer of dairy products in Scandinavia. Arla Foods was formed as a result of a merger between the Swedish dairy cooperative Arla and the Danish dairy company MD Foods on 17 April 2000.

Less downtime ensures economic growth

Arla in Rødkærsbro was experiencing problems with some of the pumps in their production area. The vibrations of the pumps were so severe that they caused holes in the floor beneath them.

”As part of Arla Maintenance, it is crucial that the machines are up and running all the time. If we need to have extra downtime it will be a problem.

Per Kaster NielsenMaintenance, Arla

The Challenge

Arla’s dairy in Rødkærsbro, Denmark, is the largest mozzarella production site in Europe. The dairy had a problem with some of the pumps in their production area, as the vibrations of the pumps were so severe that they caused holes in the floor beneath them. This was a maintenance and hygiene problem.

The Solution

A local maintenance engineer asked NGI for assistance, and NGI retrofitted the feet under the pumps with NGI certified hygienic leveling feet.

The Effect

The new feet leveled out the vibrations of the pumps, and there was no longer a problem with holes in the floor. This made maintenance easier, optimized the uptime of the machinery, and increased the overall hygiene of the production area. The retrofitting has, in other words, saved Arla money because they no longer have to stop production and fix holes, and it has also improved the general hygiene.
