Hilcona introduces measures to save more water
8 April 2024
Schaan/Landquart - The food producer Hilcona AG is continuing to intensify its efforts to use water sparingly as a precious resource at its own production locations. In addition to the Hilcona Taste Factory in Landquart, the economical use of water is to be promoted at the company’s other production facilities.
Hilcona AG from Schaan is keen to ensure that the company makes additional savings of water in recognition of its status as a precious and scarce resource. According to a press release, measures aimed at promoting the economical use of water are to be implemented at other company locations in addition to the Hilcona Taste Factory, a competence center in Landquart in the canton of Graubünden. Here, the potential options for saving water developed previously have now been expanded, following which a range of areas relating to water consumption have successfully been further optimized. For example, the work carried out at the competence center has led to improvements in the cooling process, in the sealing system and in areas where manual control is beneficial.
The impetus for these extensive changes arose from a term paper produced by an employee of Hilcona AG. This concept was further developed and refined in consultation with colleagues, with smart control solutions and simple pressure reducers also being used. The end result is that nothing is now stopping the changes from being implemented at other company sites, as the company explains in the press release.
