Designed originally for chilling process water, used for washing and transporting fresh produce, Valley Engineering 'on line chillers have evolved over the last seven years into flexible systems for chilling all types of process fluids. Valley Engineering chillers can maintain 0.5oC in any process line. Built from 316 stainless steel they have the advantage of being open so potential ice build up does not cause expansion bursting. As Valley Engineering chillers are designed with food hygiene standards in mind thorough cleaning is very simple. The unit can be fitted with a unique ice harvest control that allows ice to build then be harvested and stored in the base tank. This ice is then available to meet peak cooling demands.

Wash Line Chilling

When deciding on chilled process water the issues to be considered are operating temperatures, filtration and hygiene.  Valley Engineering now produce the most efficient open process water chillers available.  Suitable for all fresh produce the chillers address the issues created by standard shell or plate heat exchangers.

BENEFITS

• Low temperature operation (1°C - 4°C) if required

• Hygienic design

• Designed to handle large suspended particles

• Easily retrofitted to existing equipment

• Runs on food safe glycol or Freon d.x.

• One central plant can run several chillers

• Latest computerised technology to control, monitor and record ongoing temperatures

• Simple no nonsense operation

• Installed in many of the leading fresh produce processors already (Europe-wide)

• Highly efficient in comparison with the current chillers often operating at higher temperatures
