  1. Recom Ice Systems - News Flash

    Recom receives large order from big Italian Construction Company.

    Recently B&S Cooltech/Recom Ice Systems received a prestigious order to supply two (2) independent fully automatic Recom Flake Ice plants totaling a daily production of 360 tons (each 180T/day). The Recom equipment will be combined with concrete mixing equipment to serve as a concrete factory for the construction of a hydroelectric dam at Tocantins River, 150 km south of Imperatriz, Brazil. The order is given by the consortium of Impregilo Italy and Construtora OAS Ltd. named as “Consorcio Rio Tocantins.

    As one of several candidates Recom Ice Systems of The Netherlands was asked to quote for this project. Recom had already successfully supplied and commissioned an ice storage for Impregilo in Venezuela. Recom was awarded for this order due to the fact that they were able to provide a very complete factory at a very competitive price.

    The order comprises the following main machinery:

    • 4 sets containerized Recom Flake Ice plants each 90 Ton per day. Each plant houses in a 40’ container equipped with 6 semi-hermetic Bitzer screw compressors. On top the evaporative condensers will dissipate the absorbed heat
    • 4 sets automatic containerized 23 Ton flake ice storages with autonomous cooling system to maintain an internal temperature of -8 °C
    • 4 sets screw delivery systems, each with a length of 14 mtr and a capacity of 15 Tons per hour
    • 4 sets day-tanks with weighing hoppers
    • 2 sets of 17,5m3/hr. containerized water chillers cooling river water from 30 °C to 4°C
    All of these machines are mechanically interconnected as well as connected to a central Recom PLC. Not only does this PLC combine all of the Recom hardware to operate as one, it also communicates with the batching plant computer.

    The entire transport on CIF basis will be organized by Recom. As part of this order Recom engineers will be responsible for installation on site as well as the start up / commissioning of the plant.

    In order to assure a smooth operational transition to the site operators Recom will keep staff on site for a duration of 6 months after completion. During this period Recom will be able to address any possible questions as well as transferring the required knowledge to the people on site. 

     

    Recom Ice Systems – Technology as Pure as Ice itself

 

  1. Recom breaks the ice in Tanzania with the delivery of a new ice factory and complete refrigeration plant 

    The National Investment Company in Tanzania, on behalf of Tanzanian Fish Development Company, has awarded Recom Ice Systems with an order for a complete ice factory consisting of a containerized ice plant with (2) 25 ton ice machines, a 40 ton ice storage with internal rake system and screw delivery system. Moreover for the other cooling requirements, Recom received the order for an industrial screw freezing plant, an air cooled chiller and various air coolers. One of the reasons why Recom was granted the order was the ability to quote equipment beyond the scope of ice related machinery and include other industrial cooling equipment. Recom’s regional technical representative will be involved in supervising the erection throughout the project. Recom’s technical staff will be involved in the training and commissioning.
