Summit Matsu Chillers keeping our Aussie crops cool

 Australian growers have found a solution to variable weather patterns inhibiting crop growth.  Simply by using a Summit Matsu chilling system a constant temperature can be maintained to ensure their crops grow to a mature healthy age.

As a direct result of Australia’s variable climate, Australian growers are faced with the challenge of maintaining a constant temperature for their crops to grow under.  However with such temperamental weather patterns, and high humidity, the existence of chilling systems makes it possible for a constant temperature to be maintained.  It has become imperative that a chilling system is used in order for particular produce to survive as in their growth and processing stages otherwise the risk is run that they will be destroyed as they are vulnerable to unstable weather conditions.

Parilla Fresh, a grower of sprout products in Sydney and Melbourne markets had been facing this exact problem of striving to grow their sprouts in unrealistic weather conditions.  Previous to Parilla Fresh’s encounter with Summit Matsu they would have to wash their sprouts every two hours with two and a half thousand litres of water in order to remove heat which otherwise would impair their development process.  Production Manager Matthew Szenczy explained this further “We need to keep the water at a very specific constant temperature at all times or the shoots wouldn’t survive the night.”

In order to meet the demands of Parilla Fresh’s crops, Summit Matsu’s engineers undertook the challenging task of determining the exact temperature needed for the crops to survive.  Summit Matsu found that a 12 kW, UMWC 7 – 12 chiller should be installed in order to maintain the correct temperature for Parilla Fresh’s sprouts to grow.  The general manager at Summit Matsu, Daniel Rollston pointed out after their dealings with Parilla Fresh that Summit Matsu feeds on developing custom designed, energy efficient solutions for even the most challenging environments.

Summit Matsu chilling systems construct and deliver water chillers across the whole of Australia for air conditioning, industrial processes, food processing, petrochemical applications, scientific uses, and process cooling machinery for a wide range of uses.

To conclude, Summit Matsu is an excellent choice in terms of reliability and function for industrial chillers.  Summit Matsu employs and services a large range of water chillers from 2kw to 1200kw all over Australia and the Middle East.
