Discover how Barilla Group’s Wasa factory ensures excellence with DISAB’s customized vacuum solutions for clean and efficient production.
At Barilla’s Wasa factory in Filipstad, Sweden, cleanliness and efficiency are key to maintaining high production standards.
Over the years, DISAB has delivered six powerful vacuum units, ranging from 45 to 75 kW, to support their production needs. To ensure optimal dust and waste management, Barilla has installed 7 BEAD filter units and 7 BEPF filter units. These systems are designed to handle both fine and coarse material, providing superior filtration and reliability for their operations. The units are mated to a huge pipe system in the whole production line which allows operators to use the vacuum system from every single part of the factory.
We spoke with Leif Öster, Technical Project Leader at Wasa, part of the Barilla Group, to learn more about how DISAB’s solutions contribute to their clean and efficient working environment.
DISAB has played a critical role in the operations of Barilla’s Wasa factory. Over the years, they’ve installed six powerful vacuum units ranging from 45 to 75 kW, as well as 7 BEAD filter units and 7 BEPF filter units. These systems are specifically designed to handle both fine and coarse materials, ensuring reliability and exceptional filtration.
Additionally, DISAB installed an extensive pipe system to seamlessly integrate these solutions into Barilla’s existing operations. The results? A cleaner, more efficient, and safer production environment.
As part of the global Barilla Group, Wasa operates with a strong focus on quality and sustainability. Producing knäckebröd (crispbread) requires strict adherence to health and safety standards. At their Filipstad facility, high-quality rye flour is the primary material for production, and maintaining a clean workspace is critical to ensuring product integrity and safety for workers. DISAB’s vacuum systems have become indispensable to this mission.
According to <strong>Leif Öster, Technical Project Leader at Wasa, operational reliability is non-negotiable, especially during production changeovers. These periods involve cleaning the production area between dough types within a strict time window. With DISAB’s vacuum solutions, Wasa has been able to meet these demands consistently. Any failure to clean within this timeframe could lead to costly delays. Fortunately, DISAB’s reliable systems have allowed Wasa to avoid such disruptions entirely.
Although Wasa has relied on DISAB’s equipment for over 37 years, it’s hard to imagine operations without it. Before integrating these systems, dust and waste management were far less efficient, posing risks to both the production process and employee safety. By investing in DISAB’s expertise, Barilla Group has eliminated these challenges and built a foundation for long-term success.
Several factors influenced Barilla’s decision to work with DISAB on customized vacuum solutions:
