Philips provides the perfect lighting blend for coffee production

Nestlé’s new state-of-the-art coffee production facility at Tutbury, Burton-on-Trent, is the most energy-efficient freeze-dried coffee processing factory in the company’s portfolio and uses Philips LED lighting throughout its six buildings.

Sustainability is a key driver for Nestlé group so the new Tutbury facility features a wide range of innovations to minimise carbon emissions and environmental impact. A key element of the design brief was that LED lighting should be used throughout.

The quality of the lighting is exceptional in terms of uniformity and the elimination of shadows. It has generated very positive feedback from everybody working in the facility and colleagues from other factories.”Pat Walsh Engineering Manager, Nestlé

The Solution

“Once we had determined that all of the lighting would be LED, the Nestlé Electrical Team specified that Philips LED luminaires should be used,” recalled Nestlé Engineering Manager Pat Walsh. “We then worked closely with Philips to identify which luminaires would be used in which areas,” he continued.

The Nestlé Electrical Team appointed Silcock & Leadham as the M&E electrical building services designers and carried out an exercise to compare the cost of the LED lighting installation to a more traditional approach using fluorescent and metal halide lighting. “While the capital expenditure was higher for LED, the study identified that energy savings would be in the region of £120,000 per annum with a payback within 2.4 years. In fact, these energy savings will be higher once the DALI control system is fully implemented and there will be further savings on maintenance,” Pat Walsh added.

A total of 2,300 Philips LED fittings have been installed in the six buildings that make up the facility, taking advantage of the wide range in the Philips product portfolio to meet the precise lighting requirements of each space.

For example, GentleSpace gen2 high bay lighting has been used in five of the six buildings, with Pacific LED providing task lighting in all factory areas. Offices are lit using a combination of CoreView and SmartForm

fittings, with LuxSpace in toilets and corridors, along with strategically positioned internal emergency exit signs and emergency bulkheads externally.

All of the fittings, including emergency lighting, will be linked to a DALI control system from the project controls partner Schneider Electric.

The installation was carried out by four appointed preferred suppliers – British Gas, WT Parker, Incontrol and Actemium - working in different buildings, with Philips managing the delivery of fittings in-line with project schedules.

“Philips worked really well with us. They saw what we needed and put a robust management structure in place to support the project,” Pat Walsh explained. “The quality of the lighting is exceptional in terms of uniformity and the elimination of shadows. It has generated very positive feedback from everybody working in the facility and colleagues from other factories and our head office who have visited.

“This was Nestlé’s first all-LED factory and we are now looking at opportunities for introducing LED lighting both to upgrade existing facilities and for future new build projects,” he concluded.
