In 2024, Comron International was commissioned by a leading Italian fruit and vegetable processor to supply a complete ammonia freezing installation with a cooling capacity of approximately 1,200 kW at an evaporation temperature of -40 °C. The installation consists of two fully overhauled GEA/Grasso two-stage screw compressor units, type Frigopack SP2, equipped with a new Siemens S7 PLC control system with Simatic HMI touchscreen and entirely newly developed software.
The installation includes the following main components:
- 35 m³ new low-pressure separator (-40 °C)
- 3 m³ new ECO-drum (-10 °C)
- 30 m³ new high-pressure liquid receiver
- Two Baltimore evaporative condensers, type CXV 283R
- Custom-built new control panel with Siemens PLC/HMI
- All necessary valves, electronic level controllers, ammonia pumps, and piping
- Complete set of P&ID diagrams, electrical schematics, and PED pressure certificates.
The installation was carried out by a local contractor under direct guidance and supervision of Comron International’s technical team. The system was successfully commissioned and put into operation in 2025.
