Highly customized solution for international markets
The wide range of applications that HITEMA developed satisfy highly customized sectors, such as food processing industry, medical and pharmaceutical production, machine tools, plastic processing, wineries, automotive industry, and air conditioning. HITEMA’s efficient chillers’ systems are characterized by excellent energy results well appreciated in several sectors and markets.
HITEMA designs complete customized systems, made up of men and machines with very different skills and knowledge, but always interconnected, able to quickly change the production and to increase the customization of semi-finished products used onboard the Hitema machines. The high quality achieved allows Hitema to export its products worldwide, in USA, Canada, Russia, Middle East and other countries.
Low environmental footprint and sustainability for refrigeration
HITEMA works to be a reference point for its customers from the very earliest stages of the work. Thanks to its technical department, full of specific skills for each sector, can guarantee a top-quality support also during project inception, development, and design of the efficient chillers. HITEMA’s technicians can ponder the choices of the customer, thus becoming proactive in providing services and giving way to the development of new projects, in synergy with acquired know-how. All new products ensure installations with low environmental footprint, stable part load control at all conditions and high safety standards.
Environmental sustainability and high energy efficiency for efficient chillers, are the main goals achieved by the technical department during the development of Hitema products, indeed each of these series can be equipped with integrated free cooling technology to reach the maximum exploitation of the natural resources.
Food and Beverage refrigeration solutions: the TURBOCOR series
HITEMA International, has expanded its chiller portfolio with new series using eco-friendly refrigerants like HFO 1234ze and the natural fluid PROPANE (R290), but also developing the new TURBOCOR Series.
The innovative approach to the design and production has been rethought and an enormous flexibility of production facilities was acquired. This change has permitted to increase the level of customization of the products, to create tailor-made efficient chillers solutions upon customer needs.
Refrigeration is needed in all food and beverage supply chain starting from the production for ending with distribution and involving a wide range of temperatures.
Most of applications in Food and Beverage industries need low temperatures and Hitema provides an infinite range of customized solutions. Indeed low temperatures chillers design is based on customers’ needs who provide all technical specification of their projects to be satisfied.
The italian manufacturer can designs solution with air-cooled chillers as well as water-cooled and also condenser-less all with scroll, screw or pistons compressors.
Hygiene is a must in the Food and Beverage area and the aggressive environments in which products are stored or produced could cause rust formation; that is where the stainless steel components are the better choice that can be imagined.
Moreover HITEMA can provide solutions specifically think to work with propylene glycol water to avoid products poisoning how may occur with ethylene glycol, due to its toxicity.
The TURBOCOR efficient chillers line: three series
Hitema designed those series for applications that require reliability, continuity of operation, the best performance and very low management costs for the line composed by three series:
- TFV series (aircooled liquid chillers) with EC axial fans, cooling capacity range: 250 kW ÷ 1,215 kW;
- TFVF series (aircooled liquid chillers) free cooling liquid chillers with EC axial fans, cooling capacity range: 250 kW ÷ 920 kW;
- TFW series (watercooled liquid chillers) water cooled chillers with TURBOCOR compressors, cooling capacity range: 250 kW ÷ 3,000 kW.
All the models are equipped with flooded evaporator. The flooded evaporator ensures the best performances for the low approach point in the evaporating temperature. On request all the models can be equipped with water pump suitable to work with water-glycol mixture and storage tank to assure precise control of temperature even in the presence of highly variable thermal loads from the process.
With the wide range of cooling capacity up to 1,400 kW, for the aircooled models, and 3,500 kW, for the watercooled models, it is possible to satisfy all customer demands. The refrigerant used is R134a, on request it’s possible study also a solution with R1234ze. All the chillers of these series are provided with single or multiple oil free turbocor compressor that ensure the highest efficiency especially at partial load.
The degree of electrical protection is IP54 for all the models. All the units are tested at the Hitema production site before the shipment to ensure to the customers the best performances, reliability and continuity of operation. It is recommended to install a suitable filter on the unit water inlet side.
