Project Background

Tara, one of Israel’s leading agricultural cooperatives specializing in milk and dairy products, approached Automation Yeruham’s Compressed Air Division with a clear challenge: improving the efficiency of its compressor room.

Prior to the project, the plant operated six aging compressors running continuously. This setup resulted in high energy consumption, heavy maintenance demands, and significant operational costs — a critical issue in an industry that requires maximum reliability and uncompromising quality standards.

What is the solution that we have developed for the costumer?

Automation Yeruham’s compressed air experts conducted a comprehensive analysis of the plant’s air demand, including data collection, operational assessment, and advanced engineering simulations.

Based on these findings, a tailor-made solution was designed to:

Dramatically reduce energy consumption
Lower maintenance costs
Fully comply with the strict requirements of the food industry

The project involved a fundamental shift in concept: replacing six continuously operating compressors with a smart, efficient system based on one central compressor, supported by an existing unit already installed at the plant.

Installed Solution

Atlas Copco ZH 400 centrifugal oil-free compressor
Integration of one existing plant compressor into the new system
Full system adaptation to deliver clean, sterile, and stable compressed air in accordance with food industry standards

Advantages of the solution

- ✔ Annual savings exceeding ₪300,000 in energy and maintenance costs
  ✔ Oil-free compressed air, essential for food safety and product quality
  ✔ A more stable, reliable, and easier-to-operate system
  ✔ Significant reduction in maintenance workload and potential failure points
  ✔ A long-term solution that supports future growth and production continuity
  
  Results
  
  The upgraded system significantly improved the plant’s energy efficiency, stabilized operations, and ensured a consistent supply of clean, safe compressed air.
  
  For Terra, this project represents a strategic infrastructure upgrade delivering immediate financial value and long-term savings.
  For Automation Yeruham, it demonstrates how precise engineering, deep expertise, and advanced technology come together to create real, measurable impact.
