Dairy Product Cooling: Refrigeration System Project for "FoodMaster" JSC

The core engineering challenge was to design a system capable of providing intensive yet gentle temperature reduction of the products without any risk of freezing them. Eurocold Service Ltd completed the full cycle of works, spanning from initial engineering to final launch and bringing the equipment to its designated operational modes.

Key technical solutions and performance indicators:

• High Capacity: The system is engineered to handle a simultaneous load of 35,000 kg of curd.
• Intensive Cooling: The equipment ensures a product temperature reduction from +30°C to +4°C strictly within a 24-hour window.
• Custom Central Refrigeration Unit Design: A central refrigeration unit built on Bitzer (Germany) reciprocating compressors was designed and launched, delivering a cooling capacity of 69 kW (at a suction/evaporating temperature of -8°C).
• Product Protection (Anti-Freeze Control): To preserve the texture of the curd, the minimum chamber temperature is maintained at +2°C, entirely eliminating the risk of freezing. Specialized dual-discharge ceiling evaporators were utilized to ensure a soft and uniform airflow across the entire volume of the product.
• Resistance to Aggressive Environments: Given the specific conditions of dairy manufacturing, the selected heat exchange equipment is resistant to high humidity and regular sanitization procedures.
• Energy Efficiency: A stepless compressor capacity regulation system was integrated to optimize power consumption based on the real-time thermal load in the chamber.
• Engineering Support: Our company's specialists developed a detailed technical specification package for the construction divisions.

Scope of works executed:

• Engineering of refrigeration systems and calculation of the optimal air exchange scheme.
• Manufacturing and supply of central refrigeration units, automation control panels, and heat exchange blocks.
• Turnkey installation, testing, and commissioning of the equipment with seamless integration into the plant's production cycle.

The Result: The client received a reliable engineering complex that ensures stable maintenance of the +2…+4°C temperature range. Precise equipment selection has enabled "FoodMaster" JSC to guarantee premium product quality and full compliance with all technological storage regulations.
