Meat processor Scotbeef has chosen the high efficiency cooling system ammonia packaged Azanechiller from Star Refrigeration for a factory extension at its facility in Stirling.

Scotbeef is a major supplier of Aberdeen-Angus, Scottish beef and lamb products to supermarkets in the UK and across the European Union. An energy efficient refrigeration system was required to provide cooling to three new beef processing rooms within the extended facility.

Star’s Azanechiller is a complete refrigeration package, ideally suited to food and drink production, cold storage, distribution and process cooling.  It offers exceptional operating efficiency and has a robust construction designed to provide over 20 years of hassle-free performance.

Star Refrigeration Key Account Manager Grant Buchanan says: “Azanechiller typically offers a 30% increase in performance compared with standard HFC chillers.  Its packaged design and careful component selection result in an ultra low refrigerant charge, with all ammonia contained within the chiller and sited outside the facility.”

Azanechiller is available as an air-cooled or water-cooled unit with cooling capacity from 200kW to 850kW.  Azanechiller features high quality, industrial components to offer unrivalled performance, reliability and low maintenance. 

Each unit includes two screw compressors, low noise drive motors, a low charge, low pressure receiver and semi-welded PHE evaporator.  Star’s Telstar computerised control system ensures optimum performance, with HMI touch screen interface and broadband connection available for offsite remote monitoring.
