Innovation in Industrial Cooling
Articolo pubblicato in Tecnoplast, Martie 2009
What are the
most recent
technological
innovations
launched by Industrial
Frigo in the field of industrial
cooling?“Since we began working in
the business (exactly 39 years
ago), we have continued to
introduce a number of innovations.
Industrial Frigo has
always been a pioneer in innovation
and the research for
new applications.
Our large size cooling systems
are an example. They
include a number of units with
independent circuits, from the
ADS/ADR models, manufactured
for over 30 years,
or the BRG air blast coolers
with gravitational dumping in
closed circuit without evaporation.
We launched the latter
as far back as the 1990s,
before anyone thought of
using this equipment to such
a broad extent for optimal
cooling combined with low
energy consumption. Another
example of innovation and research
is the use of alternative
ecological gas since the mid
1990s, before European and
world regulations mandated
the manufacturing and sale of
equipment using this sort of
gas. We believed in it from the
beginning and this has meant
we have been able to remain
a step ahead of the market, so
when this gas became mandatory,
our chiller units had
already been developed years
prior and tried and tested in‘real’ production environments
by many users.
This type of experience has
helped us further develop
many machine series with
numerous variants, but with
the consistency of always being
designed with particular
technical accuracy.”
...and what about temperature
control?
“Industrial Frigo has always
sought to optimize its work
for this type of application
also. Not by chance, since
the end of the 1990s, we have
been making water temperature
controllers (CTWP), used
for specific purposes, for operating
temperatures of up to
180°C!
We are still one of the very few
in the world with the proper
know-how to be able to obtain
excellent results and - perhaps
more importantly - almost zero
maintenance. In fact, water
temperature controllers,
as opposed to ‘alternative’
ones that use oil as working
fluid may be more sensitive
and need more maintenance
over time. Ongoing R&D has
helped us reduced maintenance
almost to nil. This has,
therefore, meant we can say
that we truly have a high-tech
and reliable product.”
In which sectors have interesting
new applications been
made?
“Industrial Frigo’s presence
spreads beyond cooling equipment
for the plastics and rubber
industry to other sectors
(industrial and foods) which
are sources of great satisfaction
for us and have guaranteed
the company’s growth
and increasing presence on
the market.”
On which foreign market
have you seen the most significant
results?“In all honesty and especially
over the past five years, we
can say that we have been
working all-round, participating
in numerous fairs around
the globe and establishing
distribution and sales agreements
with more than 45 foreign
agents.
The result has been an extraordinary
development and
promotion of our brand; today,
we are universally recognised
and our market presence is not
limited to advertising, but is a........................
