ALFA LAVAL – COLLABORATIVE EXCELLENCE

Alfa Laval is a leading provider of solutions for heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling technologies for various industries such as energy, food and beverage, marine, pharmaceuticals, and water and wastewater. One of their products is the ORCA series, which are vacuum vapor compression water makers used in offshore facilities to convert saltwater into freshwater. When the ORCA series needed a technical update, Alfa Laval’s R&D team needed to partner with DIS/CREADIS to create a more modern and contemporary design.

Challenges

The main challenge was to create a design that was simple yet flexible enough to allow for an integrated electrical cabinet while also being easy to assemble and maintain for a reduction in production costs. Additionally, the design had to be efficient at converting seawater into freshwater while being compact enough to install in any offshore facility. The challenge was to balance design aesthetics with practicality and functionality.

Solution

The Alfa Laval R&D team chose DIS/CREADIS' to assist in the development of a new design for the ORCA series that met all the requirements. The teams were able to collaborate and utilize DIS/CREADIS’ expertise in electrical engineering, production design, and knowledge gained working on numerous offshore projects to deliver a solution that met the requirements and was more efficient in converting seawater into freshwater while maintaining its compact size.

SKY-LIGHT – NEW FLEXIBLE ROBOTIC PACKAGING PRODUCTION MACHINE DELIVERES INCREASED SAFETY FOR NEW PLANT

SKY-LIGHT, a film and packaging manufacturer, has invested in a new production plant that required an efficient and safe packaging system. The previous manual processes were not optimal in terms of the working environment and safety, and the new plant had to be able to handle rolls weighing between 200 kg and 1800 kg (441 lb. to 3968 lb.). This meant that the packaging system needed to be very flexible and capable of adjusting to nine different packing methods. SKY-LIGHT did not have the internal resources to develop this system, and so they contacted DIS/CREADIS to take over the development, construction, design, setup, assembly, and commissioning of the plant.
