Captech Case Study: Woolworths
A reliable conveyor belt system is a crucial part of a large distribution centre. Breakdowns mean lost productivity and interruptions to transportation scheduling.
PROBLEM
At the Woolworths distribution centre at Broadmeadows Vic, overheating and malfunctioning equipment was a major problem. Overheating was constantly tripping the main circuit breaker, producing unpredictable losses of power.
SOLUTION
Cap Tech installed automated Power Factor Equipment between the sorter distribution board and the conveyor belt relieving a huge amount of pressure off the system.
The solution means:
- No interruptions to the conveyor operations.
- Better quality of electricity supply.
- Lower maintenance costs, and
- Further cost savings when kVA tariffs are brought into line with other states.
Generally the technologies installed by CapTech deliver payback to the Customer in under four years.
