GEA developed a range of standard skid mounted units suitable for the production of liquid food concentrates. IceCon® provides an affordable solution for producing high quality concentrates, without losing quality. The losses in the discharged water are negligible.
This generally produces water that can be re-used in any up/downstream processes or can be sent straight to the drain. The newly developed compact series will be offered as a complete solution.
All relevant components for running a freeze concentration plant are installed on three modules that make up the IceCon® Compact equipment range, meeting the standards for container transport. The modules will be commissioned and tested before shipment ensuring a smooth and fast installation and startup period.
The freeze concentrator requires only electricity and by installing a pre-cooling skid energy can be recovered for an even further reduced CO2 footprint.
The Compact series is available in three sizes:
- IceCon® Compact 25
- IceCon® Compact 40
- IceCon® Compact 60
| Unit | Compact 25 | Compact 40 | Compact 60 | |
| Dewatering range | [kg/h] | 100-200 | 200-450 | 450-900 |
| Skid dimensions (l x b x h) | [m] | 5 x 4 x 5 | 6 x 4.5 x 5.5 | 6 x 4.5 x 6 |
| Footprint (l x b x h), incl. maintenance area | [m] | 7 x 6 x 8 | 8 x 7 x 9 | 8 x 7 x 9 |
| Estimated operating weight | [kg] | 6,000 | 12,000 | 20,000 |
| Filling volume | [m3] | 2 | 4.5 | 8 |
| Installed power (excl. chiller) | [kW] | 14 | 27 | 44 |
The compact series offers:
- A complete solution for dewatering rates up to 900 kg/h
- Straight forward automatic and continuous operation
- Small footprint
- Container size model skids
- Clear supply/scope split
- Easy installation
- FAT before shipment (smooth start-up)
