The project

Frimont developed a refrigeration solution for Avícola Luján, located in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. The project integrated chilling, storage, and freezing services, along with full automation of the machine room.

The challenge

The plant required integrating multiple temperature levels and water chilling demands into a single refrigeration solution, incorporating automated control and modernizing ammonia recirculation.

La solución

The scope included a new machine room, compressors, two recirculation packages for medium and low temperatures, two freezing rooms, and four medium-temperature cold rooms. Falling film water chillers and evaporative condensers were also incorporated.

In the modified circuits, conventional ammonia pumps were replaced with Pulsar systems, eliminating mechanical pumping equipment and its associated maintenance points.

Automation and continuity

Automation covered the entire machine room, enabling normal operation without continuous human supervision. Frimont was involved from basic engineering through mechanical assembly and commissioning.

The initial phases were carried out over eight months and continued under a continuous improvement agreement.

Delivered value

The project integrated diverse refrigeration demands, automated machine room operations, and replaced conventional ammonia pumps with Pulsar systems across the modified circuits.
