Discuss specifications and the right configuration for your application with the Cellar Technician team.
"KC" series mobile chiller for the wine industry, consisting of a refrigeration unit connected to a coaxial exchanger made of stainless steel immersed in an open storage tank.
Removable stainless steel body panels protect the machine components. Condenser air enters and leaves through ventilation grilles. A digital electronic controller manages the chiller functions.
Mounted on a frame with four swivel wheels for movement around the winery. The 15+15 model is mounted on feet.
Refrigeration circuit with a hermetic compressor.
On the cooling and heating version, a four-way valve reverses the refrigeration cycle.
One deaerator filter.
