Refrigeration for the dairy industry

From cooling milk at the dairy farm to the plant machine room: reliable refrigeration to protect quality at every stage.

Understand the process.
Define the solution.

The milk cold chain starts at the dairy farm and continues through every stage of the plant. We design systems that support that continuity, from compact units that cool milk at the source to ammonia machine rooms for processing plants.

Applications and requirements

Ammonia machine rooms

Refrigeration plants with large ammonia compressors to meet the cooling demand of a dairy plant. In Chile, we developed a machine room of this type for a dairy plant.

Process chilled water

Chillers and chilled-water banks to cool milk at reception, pasteurization and packaging, and to follow production demand peaks.

Cooling at the dairy farm

Compact iLac units to cool milk at the dairy farm, with chillers supplying cold water and simple, reliable operation.

Before selecting equipment

Decisions that guide the project

Your operational conditions define the design. These are the key aspects to review from the start.

  • Daily milk volume and milking or reception schedules
  • Target temperatures at each process stage
  • Demand peaks and cold storage capacity
  • Sanitary conditions, available space and planned expansions

A clear scope,
from the beginning.

We can handle a single stage or integrate multiple disciplines. Frimont's scope of responsibility and deliverables are defined for each project.

Tell us what you need to solve.

What does your plant or dairy farm need to cool milk better?

To get started, you can share:

  • The process or facility and its location.
  • Current situation and project objective.
  • Existing equipment and available operating data.
  • Current stage and desired scope.

You do not need a complete RFP to start a conversation.
