A new moving-belt cycle/blast freezer based on Bitzer Ecoline compressors on R-449A enables food producers to increase production in space- restricted sites, while delivering excellent cooling performance, energy effi ciency and reliability. David Thirtle AirCon and Refrigeration went back to the drawing board to overcome the problems associated with traditional bulky industrial freezers, that can be diffi cult to accommodate and service. The new British designed and built BBF500 cycle freezer uses innovative cycle crust freezing technology to ensure rapid, uniform freezing or crusting, preserving product quality and extending shelf life. It can be used with a wide range of food products, including seafood, meat, cheese and bakery products. All components are sourced in the UK where possible, and assembled in Cambridgeshire and Tredegar, Wales, so spare parts are readily available from local suppliers, and in the case of the compressor, from Bitzer UK / Green Point UK and approved wholesalers, reducing maintenance costs. The fi rst units to roll-off the production line have been installed at a leading meat processor in Wales, which supplies national UK supermarkets.
With a capacity of up to 500kg per hour, the BBF500 is designed for high-volume production, integrating with industry-standard TVI GSA 400 slicer and similar food preparation machines, ensuring a seamless production line. Product and process temperatures can be set between -25 and -42°C, enabling quality to be optimised across a wide range of applications. Equipped with a Siemen’s controller, belt speed can be fi nely tuned to suit the product. The compact stainless-steel unit, measuring H 2.41m x L 2.4m x W 2.2 m and with a 900mm wide moving belt, has full factory internal specifi cation to withstand the demands of industrial freezing environments. Bespoke variants can be made to suit requirements on specifi c sites. The company is now developing two higher capacity cycle crust
freezers, the BBF800 and BBF1200, with outputs of 780kg and 1200kg per hour respectively. David Thirle blast cycle freezer :

CIAT
CIAT product ranges have been awarded the PEP (Product Environment Profi le) Ecopassport declaration. The PEP Ecopassport program is a globally recognised environmental declaration initiative designed for electrical, electronic, and HVAC equipment, recognised and certifi ed under ISO 14025, 14040 and 14044 standards. It is a voluntary program developed by the PEP Association, a non-profi t organisation dedicated to developing the Environmental Declaration Program PEP Ecopassport internationally. The program provides a standardised framework for assessing and communicating the environmental performance of products, enabling customers to make informed decisions based on transparent and reliable data. The CIAT Floway, Vectios, CLIMACIAT Airaccess and Airtech, ILD R-32, Coadis Line 600/900, Melody 2, Major

Line and Comfort Line ranges underwent a rigorous evaluation process, including a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA), to meet the stringent requirements of the PEP Ecopassport program. The LCA evaluated various environmental aspects, such as resource consumption, energy effi ciency, and waste generation, from the extraction of raw materials to the end-of- life disposal of the products. “Earning the PEP Ecopassport declaration on such a broad
range of our products demonstrates our commitment to eco- design principles and sustainable manufacturing practices,” said Daniel Wood, head of sales for CIAT UK & Ireland. “It also represents a powerful indication of our ongoing eff orts to reduce the environmental footprint of our products and our contribution to a more sustainable future for the HVAC industry and beyond.” The PEP Ecopassport declaration validates CIAT’s
environmental performance and assures customers that they choose products that align with their sustainability objectives. This recognition further strengthens the company’s position as a trusted partner for environmentally conscious customers seeking high-quality HVAC solutions.
