Energy efficient and ecological operation

Low energy consumption construction: efficient energy exchange, well-insulated vessel, heating and cooling energy is transmitted through both the coat and bottom of the kettle. Energy consumption can be additionally lowered with a combination of electrical heaters and a heat pump (up to 45 °C, where energy consumption is reduced by 70%). Extremely efficient air cooling up to 40 °C (COP 35).

4.

Automated processing procedures and remote control (Wi-Fi).

Convenient and easy management using smart controllers that control processes and make the working day more efficient and organized. Save time and money with start and shutdown delay of processes. Set them in such a way that in the morning, thermally treated milk is ready for cheesemaking.
