Capstone Green Energy Receives Repeat Order from Leading Mexican Food Manufacturer for C1000S Microturbine CHP System
Customer Expands on Successful First Installation to Further Enhance Efficiency and Sustainability in Oat-Based Food Production
The new C1000S cogeneration system will be installed at the food manufacturer’s production facility in
“As much as I appreciate every order that comes across our desk, follow-on orders are especially meaningful. They are a strong testament to our technology and our vision for delivering sustainable, clean energy solutions,” said Vince Canino, President and CEO of Capstone Green Energy. “These types of orders reinforce the confidence our customers place in our technology and in the partnerships that support successful deployments. After achieving strong performance and measurable savings with their first system, it’s an honor to support their expansion to a second site. This project demonstrates how our solutions help customers build a sustainable competitive advantage. Our plug-and-play design, combined with our ‘pay-as-you-grow’ modularity, aligns perfectly with their business expansion, enabling us to seamlessly meet their increasing power and thermal energy requirements.”
The customer, a recognized leader in the production and distribution of oat-based foods, granola, cereals, and nutritional ingredients, has been a benchmark in the Mexican food industry for more than three decades. In 2023, the company partnered with DTC Machinery to install Capstone’s C600S microturbine system in a CHP application, designed to optimize its industrial drying operations, one of the most energy-intensive steps in oat production. The system improved overall thermal performance by capturing and repurposing exhaust heat to displace the facility’s less efficient and higher emitting drying equipment.
Building on those results, the company is expanding its investment in Capstone’s technology with a second, higher-capacity system designed to deliver even greater efficiency and sustainability benefits. The new C1000S system will provide combined heat and power by generating both electricity and steam to support the facility’s growing energy demands for oat processing. Fueled by natural gas and featuring ultra-low emissions, the Capstone system will help the customer reduce energy costs, increase efficiency, and lower emissions, further reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.
“After seeing the excellent results of the first installation, both in energy performance and operational reliability, it was a natural progression for our customer to replicate that success,” said Alejandro Munoz Barba, Principal for DTC Machinery. “Capstone’s microturbines have proven to be dependable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective solutions for many industrial applications, especially in the high quality, high precision food processing industry.”
