Changing Scene

The Nestlé Product Technology Centre (PTC) in Orbe, Switzerland, is the Group-wide research and development centre for coffee, chocolate drinks and malt beverages. Nestlé demands state-of-the-art process technology, high availability and hygienic design from its suppliers when purchasing new machines. This applies for Rittal too.

Downtimes during production represent the “worst case scenario” for plant operators. They reduce productivity and, consequently, impact sales. However, in hygienic-critical production situations, longer downtimes are unavoidable because of the amount of cleaning required.
