The owners of Kalamata Papadimitriou vinegar factory, as part of an energy upgrade of factory, chose ANDRIANOS for the supply, installation, configuration and remote monitoring of the Domestic Hot Water Production (DHW) system to meet its needs of Hot Water for production processes, using the free Renewable Energy source of the Sun.
The well-known industry Kalamata Papadimitriou has been active in the production, trade and export of quality local products of Kalamata since 1939. The factory of the company is in Thuria, Messinia and has managed to highlight the Greek balsamic vinegar Kalamata Papaditirou, as the No1 Balsamic vinegar in sales in Greece, while it is placed on the shelves of big supermarket chains, but also in the restaurants of the largest hotel chains in the world.
Study by the specialized engineers of ANDRIANOS
The management of Kalamata Papadimitriou factory entrusted the experienced engineers of ANDRIANOS to study the special needs of the factory, the climatic conditions of the area and the production line. After careful study, the best economic and technical, as well as environmentally friendly solution was chosen, for the installation of a solar thermal system, where it is possible to heat the industrial water throughout the year above 70° C - free from the sun by 95%.
ANDRIANOS has been dealing with Solar Thermal systems since 1994 and has know-how and solutions, which are designed and selected based on high efficiency, quality of construction, long-term operation, energy savings, short payback time, sustainability and low emissions.
The advantages of the installation of the industrial solar thermal system by ANDRIANOS:
- Complete independence from the continuous increases in the prices of electricity, oil and gas.
- Maximum efficiency with minimum consumption since all components are ideally harmonized with each other and develop their full performance with perfect cooperation.
- Uninterrupted operation and long lifetime of the network due to the high quality of our materials and installers.
- The cost of the solar installation will be depreciated very quickly, in less than 3 years.
- Long-term operation of the system, since it provides regular annual maintenance, supply of spare parts and repairs, which are performed quickly and according to the needs of the factory thanks to our qualified staff - by EOT-EXE.
- Clean solar energy is now used, with zero resources from land waste and without emissions into the environment.
The solar tank, with a total capacity of 1500lt for the storage of hot water
The installation includes the following equipment:
- 12 solar collectors ANDRIANOS AND-SOLAR PREMIUM, made in Greece, with a particularly high efficiency of ηcol = 67%, placed on the roof of the factory, which create a solar field with a total collection area of 32.64 sq.m.
- 1 Stratified combi storage tank ANDRIANOS AND-SOLAR FS1 1500lt, made in Germany, with a high quality stainless steel for hot water, to avoid salt deposits.
- Solar station double piping Taconova Switzerland for solar circuits.
- Solar controller Deltasol SL and the special Module DL2 of RESOL Germany, with which the remote recording and visualization of all the critical parameters of the solar system is achieved.
- Certified Stainless Steel PipingCertified Stainless Steel PipingCertified Stainless Steel Piping, for solar circulation, NMC Germany.
- Special Pressure Regulating Valves, Tacosetter made in Switzerland.
- Certified Valves for resistance to very high temperatures up to 180oC.
- Three-way mixing / thermostatic valves for precise adjustment of the temperature of the Hot Water for consumption, TACONOVA Switzerland.

High quality of services, guaranteed performance and long-term operation by ANDRIANOS and EOT-EXE
Industrial installations, such as Kalamata Papadimitriou factory, have high demands on thermal energy and require reliable and efficient solutions, especially today when energy costs have almost doubled.
ANDRIANOS, through its continuous involvement, since 1994 with cutting-edge technologies in heating, air conditioning and energy saving, specializes in Energy Solutions, which cover the need for DHW production, with high efficiency and maximum energy savings in each project.
In combination with its subsidiary, Special Group of Energy Saving Technicians (EOT - EXE), which has extensive experience in projects of corresponding and much higher requirements, has completed with absolute success the installation and configuration of the Solar Thermal System.
The technicians of EOT-EXE have undertaken the annual maintenance work, but also the technical support of the Solar Heating of the factory.
