PRO Refrigeration Unveils New Cooling Solution for Dairy, Distilling and More

default-Latest-Headlines.jpg
October 13, 2024

PRO Refrigeration, a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of packaged chiller systems for food and dairy processing, fermented craft beverages, machine and process cooling and extraction companies, has launched the PRO Chiller PRO4 Series, the most advanced cooling system in these markets today. With a reduced footprint, modular design, simplified maintenance and future-ready circuitry, the PRO4 Series represents the innovation-fueled future of dairy farming, brewing, distilling and more—offering top-quality, highly customized and streamlined cooling solutions that improve productivity and boost profits.

 The PRO Chiller PRO4 Series improves on existing packaged chiller models through the addition of several cutting-edge features, including:

  • five mix-and-match compressor options across four independent circuits, allowing for custom cooling solutions with different configurations and refrigerant options to suit individual customer needs;
  • a simplified control design specifically engineered to make maintenance fast and efficient without service interruption;
  • a redesigned glycol tank and standardized components that reduce the unit’s footprint by 25%, offering easier access, faster production and lower shipping costs; and
  • circuits that are fully upgradeable, allowing customers to easily adapt to evolving refrigerant standards and regulations, and each of the new technologies.

The PRO4 Series comes with real-time remote performance monitoring for two years, as well as a variety of supplemental components, direct access to replacement parts, and aftermarket phone, online and field support provided by the most expert, reliable technicians in the business. As with all PRO Chiller products, PRO4 Series customers have the ability to add on to their purchase the company’s proven PRO Heat₂0 module that recovers waste heat from the cooling apparatus, producing hot water to heat facilities and/or support heating processes.

“Dairy farmers face significant risks and financial impacts from unreliable cooling systems, which routinely cause quality issues, lost revenue and unnecessarily high operational costs,” said Jim VanderGiessen, CEO of PRO Refrigeration. “We are proud to alleviate such concerns through a modular, redundant system designed for continuous, efficient use in the toughest conditions.

 

About PRO Refrigeration
 Since its founding in 1990 by Jim VanderGiessen, Sr. and his son Jim Jr., PRO Refrigeration has been designing and manufacturing highly specialized, American-made cooling units, creating the most high-quality, innovative, customer-focused chilling solutions in the industry. Today it serves a growing number of customers, including dairy farms, food manufacturers, craft brewers, wineries, distillers, extraction chillers and facilities with machine and process cooling needs. The company is headquartered in Auburn, Washington with a state-of-the-art production facility in Mocksville, North Carolina and sales engineers located across the country.
