ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM FRIGOMILK XFIC

Last generation electronic control and regulation system for bulk milk coolers Frigomilk

On all Frigomilk G9 starting from 12.000 liters as optional from 4.000 liters

Thanks to its long and succesful experience, lasting over than 50 years on the bulk milk coolers market worldwide, FIC introduces now the new electronic control and regulation system XFIC

Characteristics:

• • 4,3΄΄ High resolution screen, graphic with colors, “easy touch” system for the easiest handling as well as highest reliability.
  • User can select the language.
  • Two operational levels:

  For the installer: Start-up and maintenance ( both regular or extraordinary )

  For the end user: Normal and ordinary use of the bulk milk cooler.

  • Display of the working condition of the bulk milk cooler.
  • Washing:

  Highest flexibility: selection amongst various washing programs.

  Acid detergent and disinfectant quantity is independent one from each other.

  Displaying on the screen of the single steps of the selected washing program, the current on and the ones still not done; display of the temperatures and timing.

  Parameters can be programmed easily and quickly

  • Suitable for any kind of milking robot system from any brand.
  • Easy way to handle milk collection with a dedicate menu for the truck driver.
  • Alarms:

  On screen alarm warning and indication of the type of trouble.

  Possibility to bring a signal of general alarm to an external user

  • Data storage:

  Data are memorazied up to 100 days ( all events –  all data ).

  The memory stores the data based on the principle first in – first out.

  Possibility to have a daily graph. px. temperature vs time.

  Download data on pc with usb

  • Internet (optional): Web connection to show the current working condition of the tank, the data archive, possibilty to download the stored data.
  • Ethernet: Visualization of the status of the bulk milk cooler and working data, possibility to control from one single control station several milk coolers.
  • Data metering (optional): Electronic measuring system integrated, milk quantity recording.
  • Upgrade: New version of the software will be sent by FIC via email and can be installed easily and quickly with the usb.
  • Safety: FIC keeps per each single XFIC its initial settings and the further up upgrades.
  • Housing in stainless steel.
  • Totally designed and made in Italy.

FRIGOMILK EVEREST ICE BANK

When consumption of chilled water is for less than 10-12 hours/day the use of system with ice-accumulation is advised: FIC SPA and Sheepline farming technologies proposes EVEREST.

EVEREST is an insulated tank with serpentines pipes heat-exchanger; both tank and pipes can be in galvanized or stainless steel.
The tank is filled with water and the heat-exchanger is fed with a cooling medium (freon, glycol, ammonia) so that the water
outside the pipes is cooled down to the freezing point: in a certain time ice sleeves grow onto the serpentines up to a set point (a
thickness), controlled with special probes and thickness controllers.

Further on, when it is needed to use the “cold stored”, water flows into the tank so it is cooled down to the equilibrium temperature
(0,5°C/1°C) and sent to the users. In the meantime the ice melts and slowly decreases its thickness down to the end so that the
whole accumulation is used. The efficiency is guaranteed with a special agitation system working with air blow down to the
bottom of the tank, which results in quick melting time.

The special insulation lets to have long storing times of the ice, without significant heat-losses. The ice accumulation allows
interesting savings: first of all for the investment, because the cooling units have lower cooling capacities compared to the ones
for direct cooling; moreover, there are savings also for the operational costs because the accumulation can be done during night
time or when the power rates are lower.

EVEREST can be supplied with or without cooling unit.

For accumulation lower than 40 kWh, FIC proposes the MICROEVEREST range: these are compact units, supplied always with builtin
cooling unit (for freon only) and completely in stainless steel.

EVEREST and MICROEVEREST are products certified according to PED Directive (97/23/CE) and with the relevant CE mark; this is
compulsory within EU countries and without it, authorities must stop the plant.

Technical Features:

• Galvanised or stainless steel
• “Quinquonce” system to have the maximum quantity of ice in the minimum volume
• Thickness of internal tank 3mm
• Insulating material with thermal conductivity 20% lower than standard materials
• High efficiency air agitation system
• Simple and reliable ice-thickness control with electric resistance based system
• Operational flexibility with the possibility to choose accumulation of 85% or 100% of the nominal capacity
• High quality components and from main brands of the refrigeration industry
• Working with freon, glycol, ammonia
• CE mark as per PED 97/23/CE
