Star Refrigeration helps food manufactu rer go green
S
tar Refrigeration has helped another leading food manufactu rer reduce its carbon footprint and go green, replacing
an industrial refrigeration plant using synthetic r efrigerants with a new system running on a n atural refrigerant – carbon dioxide.
Uin Foods is renowned in the industry for creating private label pizzas for the UK’s top retailers, producing 25, 000,000 pizzas each year . Star Refrigeration offered a bespoke solution comprising an industrial CO 2 refrigeration p ackaged system and a spiral freezer. When c ombined, the Star’s Envifreeze and the Helix spiral freezer deliver a complete eco-friendly in line cooling solution at a competitive price. The
utilises natural refrigerant CO2 , even though the plant has relatively low capacity.
John Whalen, managing director for Uin Foods s aid: “We are happy with the installation of ou r new freezer and refrigeration plant. By selecting

CHALLENGE
a modern and energy-efficient refrigeration system which utilises CO2 as a refrigerant, we are further committed to reducing the carbon footprint related to our manufactu ring operations. Additionally, we have protected o u r business against the changes in legislation s u rrounding HFCs.”
Uin Foods’ pre-engineered packaged
system, designed to chill or freeze pizza bases with the flexibility to programme up to six d ifferent product sizes, provides 200kW of r efrigeration capacity at -40°C. Up until now, t hose seeking refrigeration solutions in an industrial setting but with a capacity of under 300kW faced something of a conundrum; the F-Gas Regulations are moving end-users away from HFCs, while the use of industrial a mmonia systems can be unsuitable in certain applications due to capital costs and health and safety requirements.
Star’s brand new Envi range of industrial r efrigeration packaged systems have addressed the need for a futu re-proof natural cooling solution. CO2 is a natu rally occurring refrigerant w hich has a global warming potential of one – thousands of times lower than HFCs – and i s non-toxic. It has an A1 safety rating as it is a non-flammable refrigerant with low toxicity, making it ideal for a wide range of applications across all sectors.
D avid Wallace, sales director of Star
R efrigeration, said: “Before we launched ou r industrial CO 2 refrigeration packages, there was no clear pathway for businesses which required a capacity of under 300KW but wanted to move to natural refrigerants. Thanks to ou r in-house d esign team and specialist technicians, we could deliver this refrigeration and freezing solution in just a couple of months, providing benefits to the customer for many years to come.”
