Ice builders for dairy farms
By storing cold energy in ice, our ice builder makes large amounts of ice-cold water available to cool your milk faster without risk of freezing. The ice battery can be connected to our entire range of cooling tanks specially designed for cooling with ice water (-DIB). The ice battery can use cheap electricity, for example at nightly rates or from renewable sources on the farm, and with its simple operation is the perfect choice for fast and cost-effective cooling of your high-quality milk.
Advantages of the Fullwood Packo ice builder:
- Rapid cooling of the milk with less bacteria and lower free fatty acid content
- No risk of freezing the milk, even with robotic milking
- Suitable for in-line cooling of large quantities of milk up to 4°C before it enters the tank
- Ice build-up in between milkings ensures lower peak load on your grid
- Reduces electricity bills by buffering ice during off-peak hours or in combination with renewable energy sources such as solar panels
Range: from 25 kWh up to 370 kWh
Ice builders for industrial kitchens
Ice water cooling is used, amongst others, for the cooling of cooking kettles in industrial kitchens so that the desired end temperature at the core of the product to be cooled can be reached quickly and so that the cooling process complies with current EU-directives. Packo has 20 years of experience in this field and maintains close contact with almost all manufacturers of cooking kettles in Europe. Thence Packo can supply ice builders according to customer specifications and requirements.
Advantages of the Packo ice builder:
- Fast cooling of the product
- Intensive cooling without risk of freezing of the product
- Smaller cooling unit required thanks to the accumulation of ice storage during several hours
- It is possible to store the ice during the night at a cheap electricity rate
- Large energy buffer (battery), ideal in combination with alternative energy such as solar panels
- Ice water is available at the start of the Cook & Chill cycle in the daytime
Range: from 25 kWh up to 370 kWh
Ice builders for process cooling
Ice water is used since many years for cooling of food products and for process cooling in general because ice water has the capacity to cool down large quantities of product in a short time. In an ice builder a big amount of energy can be stored on a small surface. This compact unit can produce a large quantity of ice water of 0.5 à 1°C. For several applications, there is no risk of freezing the product.
Ice water, as refrigerant, is mainly used in the food and beverage industries, in bakeries, industrial kitchens, etc. but also in the non-food sector such as chemistry, bio-technology...
