  1. New Belgium Brewing Co., Inc. New Packaging Hall Jim Spencer – Director of Engineering MBAA-Rocky Mountain District Meeting March, 2008

  2. Presentation Overview The Project Expectations & Goals The Building Design Process Design Elements The Packaging Line That’s All!

  3. Fundamental goals and philosophy to guide the design of this project • I. Additional capacity to meet the business plan: • Staying with budget constraints • Meeting schedule for additional capacity for summer 2007 • II. Congruent with New Belgium’s culture: • Innovation • Sustainability • High involvement culture

  4. Major Milestones • Late 2005 - Spring 2006: Design work begins on both the line and the building as well as vendor evaluation and selection. • May, 2006: Signed contract with KHS – Start mfg of equipment • June, 2006 : Signed contract with Swinerton Builders to GC, Ground breaking and building construction begins. • January, 2007 : Building shell complete, Flooring ready for equipment • January, 2007: Major equipment on site - line installation begins • March, 2007: TCO approval for the 600 Buckingham – Building is basically complete • April 18, 2007: First Saleable beer produced - 789 cases of Fat Tire • April 25, 2007: 10,000 cases filled - successfully meeting 2007 customer orders • September 15, 2007: Commission the line - 98% Mechanical efficiency – 6 minutes of mechanical downtime in 8 hours!

  5. Site Layout You are Here

  6. Energy modeling to make energy efficient design decisions • eQuest software was used to design and select mechanical systems and compare with baseline ASHRAE 90.1 2004. • Overall, the lighting and HVAC energy usage was reduced by 50% compared to the benchmark

  7. Packaging Hall Green Building Design Features • HVAC • Lighting • Building Thermal envelope • Building Materials • Rapid Charger Technology for Forklifts • Additional Site Features

  8. II. The Process CIP Plant Filler Beer Supply

  9. Bright beer cellar

  10. III.The Packaging Line Packaging Line Offices & shops JIT Warehouse

  11. Advantages the electronically controlled filler • The entire filling process is computer controlled. • Quick change over • Triple evacuation – very low dissolved oxygen pickup • Filling independently of speed variations from the nominal speed • fast/slow filling • Filling adjustments during production • Statistic of filling performance at single valve level including historical information on alarm • Swirl for less foaming (instead of the old ‘spreader’) • Hygienic design – very easy to keep clean • Lower product loss and utility consumption (CO2)

  12. Project Expectations • Schedule - provide capacity for our summer 2007 selling season – completed right in time • Budget - $3 Million under budget • Scope – Construct a building and line that reflect the values and innovation of New Belgium Brewing. • Extensive use of recycle material throughout the building • Incredible energy efficient building design - so efficient that it qualified for $40,000 in incentives from the local utility. • A high tech, state of the art packaging line (filler, packer, palletizer) integrated in an extremely efficient layout.
