Production and processing

During the manufacturing and processing of foods, reliable cooling is essential for faultlessly hygienic and economically efficient production.

The dairy industry has numerous requirements for cooling, refrigeration, CIP and water treatment. The most common applications are cooling of milk via a plate heat exchanger, cooling of the storage tanks for the milk or storage areas for other milk-based products and foodstuffs.

Corrosion resistance is particularly vital in the cooling processes of beverage production because of the constant use of water and liquid primary products.

Food production halls, packaging areas for fresh food, and the production processes are all areas where temperaturecontrolled environments are essential. Especially in working areas where foodstuffs are exposed to the surrounding environment, secondary refrigeration systems with propylene glycol (MPG) are common and often required by law due to possible food contamination by leaking refrigerant gases.

The baking process is a highly temperature-sensitive process. The cooling system is critical in bakery operations for large industrial bakeries or smaller regional plants.

Production processes require stable temperatures for machinery. Reliable and maintenance-free cooling systems help to make production more efficient.

The fizz and characteristic taste of soft drinks and carbonated water come from dissolving CO2 in water, causing a reaction of dilute carbonic acid. Cooling is an essential part of the bottling process for all carbonated drinks.

Cold stores are a vital link in the cold food chain. As we know it, the modern world is dependent on fresh or refrigerated foodstuff s. The cold food chain is an integral part of our daily life where products must be stored reliably and with accurate temperature control.
