From agriculture to complex industry
It all started in 1947 with belt conveyors for agriculture. After World War II, the many farms up and down the country were being upgraded and automated. The increase in automation meant a rising need for belt conveyors. BEMA quickly became a major supplier of this kind of agricultural equipment and it eventually led to the development of screw conveyors. At the
end of April, we will upload a small jubilee publication to our website, detailing the story of BEMA. This can be downloaded.
Today, BEMA supplies a series of industries and utility companies. We are, for example, approved to supply equipment for Today, BEMA supplies a series of industries and utility companies. We are, for example, approved to supply equipment for the food industry and are ISO 9001 certified.
At present, BEMA supplies component parts and aggregate complex solutions.
New lighting at BEMA A/S
At present, there is every reason to make an effort to save energy: all forms of energy are undergoing sharp price increases, as you will all be aware, and as a production enterprise, we cannot necessarily pass this bill on to our customers. So, we have to save wherever possible!
At BEMA, we have just exchanged 500 fluorescent light fittings. In their place, we have introduced LED lighting, thus making energy savings of more than 93,000 kWh a year. When we did the calculations, this meant savings in the region of DKK 200,000 per year – now even more with the rising energy prices.
Energy savings are not just a question of money. The climate and the environment also stand to gain when we use less energy and thus emit less CO2 and other harmful substances. Replacing the light fittings will reduce CO2 emissions.
The new LED light also provides a better quality of lighting for our staff. No more extra angle-poise lamps on work desks or in the production and this enhances the working environment.
Production supervisor Bo Lorenzen says, ’It’s becoming increasingly important to customers that we have a an environmentally sound profile. So, we need to consider how we can incorporate energy savings, reduced resource consumption, and similar, into the whole production flow in order to meet the rising expectations placed on our environmental efforts’.
