Solution of Screw Chillers + Cooling Towers for Beverage Production

Project Summary

Innovative Process

The Challenge

This project is located at a modern beverage production facility in Uzbekistan. It involves a customized industrial refrigeration solution, including a screw-type water-cooled chiller and a closed-circuit cooling tower, which is designed to meet specific process requirements such as beverage filling, carbonation blending, raw material cooling, and maintaining constant temperatures along the production line.

Local winters feature extremely low temperatures and massive diurnal temperature fluctuations, making conventional cooling towers highly susceptible to freezing, cracking, and operational shutdowns. Spring brings strong winds and heavy dust; open-circuit towers would easily clog and suffer water contamination, failing to meet the cleanliness standards required for food production.

The cooling tower system is installed outdoors. Electrical components, fans, and tower structures must be compatible against all-weather capabilities, including dust resistance, wind/sand resistance, and durability against temperature fluctuations and aging, because standard commercial-grade equipment cannot ensure long-term, stable operation.

Proposed a closed-loop water circuit to eliminate water contamination and ensures precise, stable temperature control. It strictly adheres to beverage production standards, guaranteeing consistent product quality.

Processes such as beverage blending, cooling, and filling demand high stability in water temperature, water purity, and system uptime. Water contamination, temperature fluctuations, and equipment downtime are unacceptable, necessitating a system with high stability and a high degree of automation.

Client requested energy efficiency, operation cost-saving and maintenance-free.

The Solution

To address the local conditions-characterized by extreme cold, wind and sand, outdoor exposure, and food-grade standards-our engineers proposed a fully customized solution, including screw-type water-cooled chillers, closed-circuit cooling towers, and a Siemens intelligent control system.

  • Closed-Loop Cooling Tower System Suited for Food-Grade Cleanliness
  • Energy-Efficient Heat Dissipation System with EC Variable-Speed ​​Fans
  • Fully Automatic Anti-Freeze Heating System for the Tower Basin
  • Siemens PLC Intelligent Control System & Outdoor-Rated Electrical Cabinet
  • Industrial Screw-Type Water-Cooled Unit Ensuring Continuous Production

The Result

Installation, commissioning, and acceptance of the project have been fully completed, and the system was put into operation for production.

The system is fully adapted to the challenging outdoor conditions, such as the strong winds, sand, significant temperature fluctuations, and extreme cold. It ensuring year-round continuous production for the beverage line. It stands as a mature benchmark project for our company in providing cooling solutions for the Central Asian food industry under extreme operating conditions.
