Go BackACE Refrigeration is currently on site at Cowdenbeath for First Milk, the UK’s only major dairy company which is 100% owned by British farmers.
The Glenfield Dairy is a major supplier to the retail & foodservice markets, through the production of Quark, cottage cheese and sour cream.
Our ACE engineers are working on the Main Chill Area, replacing dated equipment which has become inefficient and no longer working to full capacity.
ACE has been tasked with providing a cost effective replacement refrigeration system which also takes into consideration external noise restrictions.
The existing condensers were located within the roof void which was warm and reduced the capabilities of the system. Now ACE engineers have put the new compressors on a mezzanine level where there is adequate ventilation and we have installed a low noise condenser. Because the surface area of the condenser is larger, we can achieve lower noise levels without compromising on duty.
Internally there are also two mini compressor packs which have been designed with a finer level of control built in. This means output can meet demand, allowing for the ability to switch off half of the compressor when production is reduced so that the plant runs more efficiently with less power outage.
