Innocent – de blender

The Blender from innocent drinks is one of the first CO2 neutral food factories in the world.

“To make this possible, the complex is all-electric with boilers and heat pumps. “This requires a significantly dimensioned energy installation. All required energy is generated by renewable sources, including an on-site solar park and off-site wind turbines. We have optimally coordinated both elements – energy use and – generation,” says Robert, our project leader for this beautiful project on the Maasvlakte.

In addition to the complete low-voltage installation and lighting, we also realized all power supplies for the machines. “Thanks to our specialty in industrial automation, we are familiar with the specific requirements for food production. A must for a project like this.

The client had a lot of confidence in our expertise; that works well.”

With the energy-neutral smoothie factory, innocent drinks emphasizes its sustainable ambitions, taking the three P’s (people, planet and profit) to the highest level. “It is also a significant calling card for Van den Pol, it fits its profile as the most sustainable installer in the Netherlands. We have been installing zero-on-the-meter homes for quite some time. But the fact that we are now building a CO2-neutral factory was a few years away. unthinkable ago. It shows how sustainability is accelerating.”
