Dairy Farmers of America (DFA)

The Situation

To meet increasing demand for its products, DFA needed to overhaul its manufacturing plant. DFA requested its long-standing partner Knobelsdorff to be onsite as the electrical contractor.

The Solution

The overhaul included facilities and functions across the operation:

• New buildout of fully automated, state-of-the-art, spray dryer, whey loadout, cheese tempering building, wastewater treatment facility and offices
• Design-build engineering, procurement and construction
• 13.8 kV distribution system
• 480-volt power distribution
• Industrial network infrastructure
• Process controls system install
• Facility lighting
• General use power and distribution

The Result

We continue to build on our 20-year relationship with DFA, as it relies on KE to design, install and maintain its facilities, making them more productive. On call 24/7, KE maintains electrical and automation documentation and records.
