From professional footballer to pig farmer

The Custers family farm falls under the Varketing Group and has grown to 500 sows and 5,000 fattening pigs through an expansion in 2007 and a newly built fattening pig house in 2014. At both locations in Swolgen and Horst, Inno+ chemical air scrubbers and heat pumps have been installed. At the second one, we also included Triple EEE energy recovery. This eliminates the need for gas at both. Since the roofs are also full of solar panels, this makes the company’s production energy neutral. The heat pump uses the energy in the air scrubber where the water has a temperature of about 20 degrees. Because there is underfloor heating everywhere, the heat pump makes it easy to heat the stables, the whole house and even the family pool.

Gert was always convinced that the air scrubbers were working well. Now that Inno+ sends the monthly reports, it appears that there is still some room for improvement. He is happy that he can clearly see what can be improved, because he wants his air scrubber to run perfectly, both for himself and for the environment! Another advantage of the dashboard is that the Inno+ service team can immediately see which activities are taking place in the air scrubber at a certain moment or can look back to the past. This makes everything perfectly monitorable and allows the client and/or Inno+ to react and adjust in time if necessary.
