How Kupfer is mastering the energy transition in food processing with Bosch
Hans Kupfer & Sohn GmbH & Co. KG faced the challenge of making its energy-intensive steam generation – with an annual demand of over 30,000 tons of steam – more sustainable. In partnership with Bosch Industriekessel, an innovative hybrid solution was implemented. An electric steam boiler of the ELSB type (3 t/h) now complements the existing gas boiler system. Coupled with a new 7.4-hectare PV park, the electric boiler system uses surplus green electricity for steam generation. On sunny days, the ELSB covers up to 50 % of the steam load, significantly reducing gas consumption and CO2 emissions. The solution ensures flexible, highly efficient, and reliable production.
