The meat processing industry requires strict temperature control at every stage of production. Refrigeration equipment is indispensable in this sector. In this article, we will look at the types of refrigeration systems used in meat processing plants and why Dalgakiran equipment is in high demand amongst producers across Ukraine.
Why is refrigeration equipment needed in the meat processing industry?
Meat begins to spoil at just +10 °C, so temperature control is essential at every stage, from the receipt of raw materials to dispatch to retailers. A modern industrial plant cannot operate effectively without a reliable refrigeration system, regardless of processing volumes. Without a properly designed refrigeration infrastructure, even high-quality raw materials may not reach the consumer in the required condition.
Key objectives of refrigeration in meat processing
The refrigeration system at the production facility performs several functions. The quality of the products and compliance with hygiene standards depend on these functions being carried out.
Rapid cooling of carcasses after slaughter to +2…+4 °C.
Maintaining the temperature in raw material storage chambers.
Freezing semi-finished products to −18 °C and below.
Cooling the air in production areas.
“Inappropriate or poor-quality equipment leads to excessive electricity consumption and uneven cooling, which shortens the shelf life of products,” experts emphasise.
Dalgakiran chillers for meat storage rooms and production lines
Chillers are the primary type of cooling equipment used in meat processing plants. They cool a liquid coolant that circulates through the system and removes heat from cold stores or production lines. Depending on the plant’s capacity and production requirements, Dalgakiran offers several series of chillers.
DGSA — compact air-cooled chillers with a cooling capacity ranging from 2.6 to 168 kW. Suitable for small meat processing units.
PAKCOLD — cooling capacity from 6.4 to 150 kW; easy to install and maintain.
EBHP — cooling capacity from 51.2 to 413.8 kW. The optimal choice for medium-sized production facilities.
EBHV — from 120 to 1,600 kW. Suitable for large meat processing plants and blast freezing lines.
RWH — chillers with water-cooled condensers, from 87 to 2,440 kW. For large plants with their own cooling towers.
All models maintain a precise coolant temperature and feature microprocessor control. Dalgakiran chillers operate at coolant temperatures ranging from −18 °C to +20 °C, which fully meets the requirements of the meat processing industry.
Cooling towers and heat exchangers in meat processing complexes
Large enterprises generate a significant amount of heat. Cooling towers and heat exchangers are used to dissipate this heat. A comparison of the main solutions is provided in the table.

The right combination of these solutions reduces costs and extends the service life of freezing equipment.
Compact air conditioners and heat pumps for meat processing plants
Dalgakiran heat pumps allow you to cool some areas whilst heating others at the same time. The following solutions are suitable for small workshops:
Compact chillers with air-cooled condensers.
Precision air conditioners for maturing chambers.
Heat pumps for recovering heat from the production process.
“A heat pump in a meat processing plant delivers real savings of up to 40 per cent on heating costs by utilising heat from the refrigeration circuit,” experts note.
