• New brewery building equipped with Siemens power distribution technology for medium and low voltage
• Innovative fluorine gas-free medium-voltage switchgear contributes to greater sustainability
• Digitalized low-voltage technology increases safety, efficiency and economy in operation

C. & A. Veltins, one of Germany’s largest breweries, has set itself the goal of becoming one of the most modern and sustainable breweries in Germany by the time it celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2024. Siemens Smart Infrastructure is supplying technology to ensure the sustainable energy supply of a new building at the company's headquarters in the town of Grevenstein in the Sauerland region, where a new bottling plant will go into operation in 2022. The centerpiece is the new 8DJH 12 blue GIS fluorine gas-free medium-voltage switchgear. It completely eliminates the greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as well as other fluorine gases. Instead, the switchgear uses the climate-neutral Clean Air insulation gas, which consists exclusively of natural components of the ambient air. The system is supplemented by low-voltage technology with digital measurement and communication functions for safe and efficient power distribution.
