Soft drinks manufacturer Pepsico's subsidiary PepsiCo Deutschland has installed new eco lamps on a Sidel blower at its plant in Rodgau, Germany.
The lamps are claimed to reduce energy use by 19% and decrease the costs by 16% and have been deployed to support the company's plan to improve the environmental efficiencies of the plant's operations.
According to Sidel, the lamps have generated a return on investment (ROI) in 12 months from the installation.
The lamps, which are part of Sidel's ECO services, have been installed in the company's SBO Series1 and Series2 blowers.
The PepsiCo machine in Rodgau is an SBO18 Series2 and was installed to produce 1.5l and 2l bottles of carbonated soft drinks in PET for the Pepsi, Schwip Schwap and Pepsi Max brands.
Sidel eco lamps are also claimed to offer a life expectancy of 5,000 hours.
