Dunne Animal Feeds

A core part of Dunne’s business is the distribution of a wide variety of pet food so it is essential that all product packaging is kept clean and any risk of product contamination is minimised.

Mr Dunne explains: "Retail outlets can refuse deliveries if the packaging is dirty. It is our commitment to the customer to supply them in a clean and presentable state."

"This means that diesel is just not an option for us. It would cover our products in a film of soot and this is unacceptable. Calor LPG is ideal - it is a cleaner burning fuel with reduced particulate emissions," he says.

Dunne benefits from Calor’s The ThinkTank® telemetry technology. The telemetry system monitors how much gas is left in the tank and automatically sends a signal via a dial up connection to the local Calor depot when a delivery is required.

Fitting the system took very little time and caused no disruption to the business.

Mr Dunne is pleased with the positive impact it has had on his business. He says: "The ThinkTank® system allows me to spend more time running my business without the added burden of having to worry about gas levels."

Calor’s forklift truck specialist, Jason Whitwell, says: “Logistics businesses like Dunne Animal Feeds, who supply to retailers, are clearly seeing the advantages of powering their fleets of forklift trucks with cleaner burning LPG. With the added benefit of The ThinkTank® technology, Calor takes on the burden of fuel supply and allows customers to concentrate on their business.

“By working with Calor, the LPG specialist, the installation can be handled smoothly and efficiently. Calor’s technical advice and an emergency call out service available all day, every day, gives added peace of mind to busy operations.”
