The Volkovysk combine is one of the 10 largest meat processing factories in Belarus. Every year around 60,000 t of meat are processed here to make products such as mincemeat, sausages and meatballs. The products are cooled with ammonia evaporators by Güntner.
Demands:
The original factory (founded in 1964) was to be modernised and extended during on-going production. To fulfil the high demands resulting from correct storage of the products, the operators instructed Güntner to equip the deep-freeze rooms.
Solution:
Güntner supplied 14 ammonia evaporators mounted under the ceiling on stainless steel frames. The evaporators hold the room temperatures in the various deep-freeze storage areas at a constant -5, -10, -30 and -40°C. The total capacity of the evaporators is 8,700 kW. 50 t of ammonia circulate through the central refrigeration system, while the secondary refrigerant circuit operates with 600 kg of refrigerant. Volkovysk completed the extensive modernisation work in 2008.
