New Australian Chillers For Low Temperature and High Ambient Applications in Food Processing

Australian chiller manufacturer Summit Matsu Chilling Systems has released the new 2009 range of water chillers and glycol chillers for the food manufacturing industry. Chiller features include high ambient temperature operation and low outlet temperature – even 0 deg C with plain water, without freezing.

The 2009 range of low temperature process water chillers and glycol chillers for the food industry has been developed after extensive experience with some of Australias leading food manufacturing companies. Current food processing customers include Darrell Lea Chocolate Shops, Dullo Chocolates, ice cream companies, pet food manufacturers, meat manufacturers and bakeries. These are the manufacturers that supply the bread and butter to Australian households and restaurants.

Chiller system improvements include options like over pressure unloading, PLC for full system diagnostic feedback, and a wider range of chilled water and ambient air operating conditions.

The 2009 range of water chillers have been improved specifically for the Australian environment. Standard features include powder coated all weather impact resistant cabinet, and over sizing of essential components like pumps and condensers to cope with excessive heat and humidity, and under pressure limiting switches for efficient operation in extremes of wet, or cold. Auto shut off safety switches are also standard features on all major components.

Other options include stainless steel chiller panels for wash down environments or copper condenser fins for increased chiller longevity in salt spray coastal environments or in harsh chemical environments.

The new Australian chiller range also includes easier panel access, IP55 electrical enclosure, and full and easy access to essential chiller components for service and maintenance like compressors, fans, and pumps.

All chillers from Summit Matsu Chilling Systems are manufactured with a solid steel base from zinc rolled steel U-channel which is then painted with a galvanising coating after fabrication. Chiller compressors are from either Refcomp or Hitachi and are individually spring mounted reducing vibration on the machine – reducing noise for customers.

Chiller fans are sourced from the worlds best manufacturers such as EBM, Zeihl, or Soler and Palau and are specifically designed for high temperature operation. Options on fans include high static pressure – for ducting attachment, or low noise where clients have a noise budget.

Chiller condenser fins are epoxy coated as standard which reduces corrosion on the aluminium fins. This increases chiller life and lowers the total chiller cost of ownership because the equipment lasts longer, and does not need to be replaced so soon.

“In Australia many chillers now days are imported, and the chillers are designed for North American or European conditions – these machines do not come with any guarantee of reliability, particularly in extreme temperatures. As a chiller manufacturer in Australia, we have specifically designed for extreme conditions” said Summit Matsu Chilling Systems General Manager Daniel Rollston.

Summit Matsu Chilling Systems is an Australian chiller manufacturer exporting world-wide. Other industries served include power stations, oil & petroleum refineries, precision engineering, air conditioning, mining shaft cooling, lasers and food manufacturing.

Summit Matsu Chilling Systems manufacture and distribute water chillers Australia wide for air conditioning, industrial processes, food processing, petrochemical applications, scientific uses, and process cooling machinery for all types of applications.
