A Mongolian candy producer upgraded key production equipment, replacing inefficient and outdated machinery. The old machines regularly shut down unexpectedly, severely interrupting the production processes. This caused delays on the one hand but also resulted in problems regarding product stability and quality. As high-quality standards are of utmost importance to this company, the decision to replace the old machinery was made quickly.
The investment was financed through a US$ 56,300 loan, from the EBRD’s sustainable energy credit line. The new machine is 78% more efficient than the old one, partly due to the high efficiency motors and variable speed drives, which are part of the new machine. In addition to the new machine, the company also significantly optimized its production layout, resulting in time and quality improvements.
The energy savings generate cost savings of US$ 9,400 per year!
