Water savings in industry: the Antartic case study
Agromousquetaires’ Antartic site reduces water consumption and optimizes CIP(Cleaning in Place) operations, thanks to the combined expertise of Dametis and Elodys International.
A few words about the Agromousquetaires group
Founded in 1969, Agromousquetaires is now the industrial and agri-food division of the Les Mousquetaires group. As the leading French manufacturer of private label brands, Agromousquetaires supplies a portion of the products to Netto and Intermarché stores. To ensure this supply, this industrial division has 59 production sites divided into 6 performance hubs with diverse productions: meat & deli, dairy products, beverages…
In order to better manage consumption at its various sites, and in particular to achieve water savings in industry, the group calls on Dametis to monitor various plants.

The history of the partnership between Elodys International and Dametis
Long-standing partner Elodys International supports manufacturers in optimizing their washing processes.
As an industrial water specialist, Elodys offers comprehensive support: CIP (Clean-In-Place) and water audits, engineering, training, innovative sensors, etc.
To ensure optimal monitoring and optimize CIP operation, Elodys developed the BARcip solution, now integrated into our EMS MyDametis software.
Focus on Dametis and Elodys International’s support for the Antartic site
Once the data has been uploaded to the platform, you can process it as you wish. The long-term challenge could be to adapt the CIP recipe to the product: quantity, quality, equipment (storage time in the case of a tank, production parameters for a pasteurizer, for example). Like a dishwasher program.
