Kiwi Cream Dairy, a mid-sized dairy producer in New Zealand's Waikato region, sought to improve its cold storage capabilities to maintain the freshness of its expanding product line. They approached ARTECO for a customized refrigeration solution that could accommodate their specific needs.
ARTECO's engineering team collaborated closely with Kiwi Cream Dairy to design a cold storage facility that addressed their unique requirements. The focus was on maintaining optimal temperatures for various dairy products, ensuring energy efficiency, and allowing for future expansion.
Key features of the custom-built cold room include:
Multi-zone temperature control for storing different dairy products
High-efficiency refrigeration units to reduce energy consumption
Rapid cooling system for freshly produced items
Advanced insulation to maintain consistent temperatures
User-friendly monitoring system for easy temperature tracking
The 200-square-meter facility can store up to 50 tons of dairy products at temperatures ranging from 0°C to 4°C, depending on the specific product requirements.
Since implementing the new cold storage, Kiwi Cream Dairy has reported a 25% increase in product shelf life and a 15% reduction in energy costs compared to their previous cooling system. The improved storage capacity has also enabled the company to introduce new product lines and expand its distribution to more retail outlets across New Zealand.
This project demonstrates ARTECO's expertise in creating tailored refrigeration solutions for the dairy industry, helping clients improve product quality, reduce operational costs, and support business growth.
