DairyPOD wins Best Innovation
at World Dairy Awards 2015,
Amsterdam
I
N June 2015 the annual World dairy Innovation Awards
took place at the Koepelkerk in Amsterdam as part of
the 9th Global Dairy Congress where WOODCO won
Best Environmental Sustainability Initiative for thr DairyPod product.
The global dairy industry is under pressure to supply a
growing population with quality dairy products as well as
keeping its carbon emissions under control, so WOODCO
developed the DairyPod. It is fully integrated, self-contained hot water heating module fuelled by sustainable
and carbon neutral wood pellet fuel and can be located
externally outside the dairy. The module produces hot
water over 85°C in large volumes that can be used in the
post milking wash down and sanitisation process. DairyPod has achieved savings of >50% when compared to
night rate electricity and oil.
The judging panel considering almost 220 entries from
30 countries in 18 categories. “We saw a fantastic range
of products this year as innovation continues to ignite
consumers growing interest in dairy” said FoodBev Media’s Bill Bruce. “We also saw an increased number of
entrants from Asia and Africa representing the healthy
dairy market now present in these regions.”
“The awards are a great way to keep up to date with the
industry’s best innovation across the globe, the key players and some of the world’s most exciting start ups. It’s
a great celebration and highlight’s company successes in
the areas of finished products, marketing, manufacturing, ingredients and importanty, commitment to CSR.”
In addition the award has also been recognised in Ireland
at the Sustainable Ireland Awards in Belfast for Best Energy & Environment Innovation in Ireland.

Products in Action
CASE STUDY 1
Agri-Business
Project: Grantstown Hall Dairy Farm, Tipperary, Ireland
Equipment: DairyPOD and 3 tonne fuel store
Installer: Wood Energy Solutions
Installation Date: June 2015
Grantstown Hall is in the heart of Irelands Golden Vale, an area renowned
for its dairy producers. Grantstown Hall dairy farm currently milks 230
cows twice a day and the owner intends increasing his herd size to 270
cows in 2016. Up to recently the owner struggled to produce enough hot
water to wash down the milking parlour equipment successfully. Another
issue was he was using expensive electric immersion heating and it was
prohibitive to use this during the day at €0.17/kWh
Since WES supplied its multi-award winning DairyPOD. The savings have
been spectacular and furthermore the farmer has copius amounts of hot
water in morning and evening. He now washes down after each milking.
There’s an added benefit of his TBC (Total Bacteria Count) now reading as
low as 6, a direct result of increased washing down with hot water. The
DairyPOD heats a 1000L Stainless steel tank in 4 hours and in Summer
brings the water from 6°C to 85°C in this time. The farmers uses 900L
during each wash down.
The DairyPOD is gaining considerable interest in the UK where farmers
can also receive RHI payments.
CASE STUDY 2
Care Home
Project: Hazelhurst Care Home, South Wales
Equipment: 215kW EcoCabin c/w integral 8 tonne Fuel Store
Installer: Bioshare & Pureglo
Installation Date: September 2015
WES has had particular success in supplying EcoCabin to the Care Home
sector across the UK. This particular project was particularly eye catching
as the client required the EcoCabin in wood finish to blend in with the area.
The 215kW EcoCabin contains an 8 tonne fuel store constructed from
Aluzinc and fuel is fed automatically via flexi auger to the boiler. The
E-COMPACT boiler contains the very latest software from WES incorporating the ‘i-GEN’ control system, facilitating even better remote control and
data monitoring information.
