Cefla has been offering technological solutions for energy management in the ceramics sector for more than 40 years. Today, energy self-production can be crucial, as it can ensure the energy sustenance of an entire factory, zeroing out the purchase of grid gas destined for atomization.

The ceramics sector today suffers from so-called "energy stress": cogeneration is a sustainable and strategic solution in the perspective of energy saving, because it saves on energy consumption, through the combined production of electricity and thermal energy, bringing a reduction in CO2 compared to the production of a traditional system.

Cefla has many installations in the ceramic field, both with turbine and motor; whether it is a new installation, or we are planning to revamp an existing plant, flexibility is what our customers ask for. Thanks to our established expertise, we are able to accompany you through all stages, from feasibility analysis to design, from implementation to maintenance.

Over the years what has mainly changed on the cogeneration front are the technologies involved, the monitoring systems and the intelligent management of the plants, of everything the cogenerator can produce (heat, cold, hot water..). Today, the winning approach is the development of an integrated project in close partnership with the company, where the cogenerator is "one with the company" because, also because of the high gas prices, the plant must be used for as many hours as possible.

Cefla, a leader in Italy for the design and construction of technological, global service and power generation plants, offers its customers cutting-edge solutions on the front of Artificial Intelligence, energy management and predictive maintenance.

Thanks to C-cogenS, we offer our clients a detailed real-time monitoring system to keep track of global plant efficiency and each of its individual components.

By means of a source of real-time updated data through IoT technologies and searchable dashboards, assets can be kept monitored, thus ensuring energy efficiency and reduced intervention costs.
In addition, the system is "Custumer Oriented," fully scalable according to customer needs.

Cefla is a company composed of 4 Business Units, which turns 90 years old just in 2022. A history of successes and products, processes and innovations, with a common improvement project for the satisfaction of all its customers and stakeholders.
