Electrical Feeders and Pumping System Automation for Coca-Cola

STAR developed the electrical and automation infrastructure required to power and control an industrial pumping system for Coca-Cola. The project brought together power feeders, electrical distribution, motor control, and a centralized operating interface within one coordinated solution.

The work began with the installation of the 480 V and 220 V electrical feeders. Cable routes were prepared and the main 500 MCM power conductors were installed from the supply point to the panels and equipment associated with the pumping system.

The electrical routes were developed using cable trays and supports distributed throughout the plant infrastructure. The installation was adapted to existing paths and site conditions while keeping the conductors organized and protected along their complete route.

A Siemens P5 panel was installed and connected as part of the power distribution system. The project also included a 225 kVA transformer to provide the voltage levels required by the power equipment, control components, and auxiliary services associated with pump operation.

Motor operation was integrated into a control cabinet equipped with 50 HP variable frequency drives. These devices provide more gradual and controlled pump operation, allowing motor performance to respond more effectively to process requirements.

In addition to the electrical infrastructure, STAR developed the system automation. The pumps were integrated into a touchscreen interface that allows personnel to view operating status and manage the available functions from one centralized and accessible control point.

The project included the connection of power and control circuits, conductor termination, and the internal organization of panels and cabinets. Wiring was distributed and identified to support future inspections, maintenance activities, and system interventions.

The result was a solution that combines electrical power and automation within one infrastructure. Coca-Cola now has a pumping system with improved operational control, organized electrical distribution, and a centralized platform for monitoring its equipment.
