    Cabinet Chillers

    These smaller systems have been designed without condensing units for use with remote-mounted condensing units. This provides increased installation flexibility to suit your available power supply – they are particularly suitable for installations without access to three-phase power.

    • Existing or new condensing units may be installed
    • Includes evaporators, circulation and process pumps, and electrical enclosures
    • Cabinet chillers should be installed indoors
    • Models available with the following horsepower: 3-5 HP, 2-15 HP and 2-30 HP

    Remote condensing units provide installation flexibility

  • Snap Chillers From GEA

    Fast chilling is important to maintain milk quality as milk begins deterioration as soon as it is harvested. Snap chilling with GEA’s aquaTESS or aquaCHILL solutions instantly slows the multiplication of naturally occurring bacteria to preserve milk quality.

    Snap Chilling from GEA is available as a standard or as a fully-integrated solution with smart controls to give you the power to manage your snap chilling, energy saving and heat recovery online.

    Achieve compliance:
    Ensure your milk quality achieves regulatory compliance.

    Bactoscan:
    Monitor bacteria count in your milk.

    Anti-thermoduric:
    Combat heat-resistant bacteria.

    Anti-coliforms:
    Combat wet weather/manure bacteria.

    aquaCHILL

     

    The aquaCHILL from GEA is designed to assist dairy farms in meeting milk cooling standards. It is perfect for retrofitting, as a booster for your existing system, or as a new installation on your farm.

    • COP of 3.4 compared to DX with a COP of 1.8
    • Vat chilling is separate to spread the risk in the event of failure
    • Produces up to 350 litres of hot water per hour at 60°C
    • CONNECT2 control system makes it easy to use and diagnose

    aquaTESS

    AquaTESS

    The aquaTESS is a thermal energy storage system available in various options and sizes to meet the needs of any farm size. It offers everything you need from a snap chiller – from direct online chilling to thermal storage that utilises off-peak power for energy-saving efficiency.
