Energy and sustainability consulting
Team

Whether in a new production plant or an existing factory: Our

consulting team within Krones plant engineering guarantees you
comprehensive and competent support in the achievement of your
sustainability goals.

Our team combines all of the necessary core expertise to develop

sustainable and effective solutions for you. With our holistic and
inter-factory approach, we always act on the principles of:

Avoid. Optimise Recycle.

Our aim is to reduce operating costs, increase sustainability and

lower the CO2 footprint.

Our consulting approach allows us to decipher your individual needs

at an early stage. This ensures that we can develop sustainable
solutions for you in a targeted manner – and this prior to the
quotation process, so that you can receive the corresponding
subsidies, among other things.

Sequence

What are the customer's sustainability targets?

Consulting and − CO2 strategy in which planned sectors? (areas 1 to 3)
feasibility phase
− Evaluation of the current situation (processes, machines ....)
− Clarification of the current and future supply needs
− Meetings regarding production planning (peaks, simultaneousness ...)
− Basic determination of possible sustainable solutions (ROI ...)
 Clarification of feasibility

Which sustainable, technical solutions can be implemented in the project?

Consulting and − Which technology is used? Warm water supply? NH3 direct evaporation?
concept phase
− Where can energy be recovered and reused?
− Which process adjustments are possible?
− Which alternative, renewable energies can be used?
Subsidy consulting  Definition of the technical concept and subsidy consulting

Project realisation
Implementation  All of the developed solutions can be quoted and processed by Krones.
