A low-cost system that opens up Freeze Concentration technology to new markets through innovation, simplification and standardisation.
Freeze Concentration has long been the preferred method of concentrating aqueous solutions especially where they are heat sensitive. However, until now all systems were individually designed making them too expensive for some common applications.
Now, through a process of innovative engineering, process simplification and component standardisation, the patented technology in ICECON™ has reduced both equipment costs and energy usage significantly making Freeze Concentration a practical option for the constantly growing number of applications throughout the food and drink sector.
Typical applications for ICECON™ include:
- coffee
- fruit juices
- clear extracts (vegetable, plant, meat, fish, etc.)
- vinegar
- beer & wine and
- practically any other aqueous solution
How is it done?
Niro-PT has kept the investment and energy costs of ICECON™ low through:
- Simplified scraped surface heat exchangers
- Simplified crystallizer design
- Simplified wash column design
- Simplified instrumentation and control
- Minimized refrigerant requirements
- Standardization of components
- Refrigeration system integration
