COOLMATIC - POLARMATIC
Eco-friendly cooling solutions COOLMATIC
COOLMATIC cooling systems come in various models and configurations, perfectly adapting to the specific needs of each customer as well as to the climatic conditions, while prioritizing optimization and economy. With a wide selection of capacities and configurations, we guarantee the optimal solution for each concrete plant.
Optimized cooling for concrete manufacturing
- The COOLMATIC cooling system is specifically designed to meet all the cooling needs of concrete plants optimally, while ensuring ideal concrete quality under all circumstances. The COOLMATIC cold water units offer a complete cooling solution, including all equipment necessary for the production, storage and dosing of cold water.
Production conditions
- Maximum air temperature: -30°C
- Water temperature, arrival: ~15 ºC
- Dosing water temperature: ~1-5°C
- Amount of water: ~160 l/m³ – concrete (35 gal / yd³ – concrete)
COOLMATIC cooling systems have many advantages
- Cooling of water both energy saving and of superior quality.
- Environmentally friendly solution.
- Compact system for the production, storage and supply of cold water, essential for the concrete manufacturing process.
- Easy integration with our heating systems at the concrete plant site (COOLMATIC TURBOMATIC).
- Safe and reliable system.
- Fully automated and computer controlled.
- Reduced operating and maintenance costs.
Compact, energy-efficient water cooling system for the production, storage and distribution of cold water. When the available cold water is adequate to reach the temperature required for concrete manufacture, COOLMATIC cooling is an efficient solution for your concrete production. To lower the temperature of the water used in the manufacture of concrete, and when the cooling of aggregates is required, the COOLMATIC cooling system is necessary. The chiller is always designed in collaboration with the customer, taking into account the specific requirements of the plant. This ensures that the new equipment meets the cooling needs of the concrete plant, while also ensuring that it is not oversized. In addition, the cooled water can be used to cool the building, creating a comfortable working environment for the staff.
Benefits of water
- Cold water available for production
- Many size options
- Runs on electricity
- Optional cooling of the premises
- Possibility of integration into Polarmatic heating systems, also as an upgrade
Cooling aggregates using liquid nitrogen (LIN) is the most effective solution to lower the temperature of concrete due to its higher volume mass than other concrete ingredients. LIN cooling can also be combined with water cooling.
Benefits
- The most energy-efficient unit cooling solution
- Cooling of granules lowers the temperature of concrete
- Cooling of hard granules until concrete is delivered to the site
- Cooling with 50% less LIN than other available methods
- Optional rapid water cooling
- Can be integrated into the TURBOMATIC heating system
TURBOMATIC heating and COOLMATIC cooling solutions can be perfectly combined for concrete production sites. COOLMATIC units offer a complete cooling solution that includes all the equipment needed to produce, store and dose cold water, as well as cooling concrete aggregates when required. Each heating and cooling plant is tailor-made to meet the specific requirements of our customers. Combining a TURBOMATIC heat production unit with a COOLMATIC cooling unit creates an integrated heating and cooling solution. In this case, the TURBOMATIC unit’s hot water tank is also used to store cold water. The same water metering system used during the cold season to supply hot water, either at the water weigher or at the water meter, is also used to dispense cold water during the warmer months.
