When Australian temperatures climb, keeping concrete production on target can become a real challenge. In concrete mixing, the temperature of the water can play an important role in managing the temperature of fresh concrete - influencing how quickly it hardens and how much working time is available for delivery and placement.
Where chilled process water is needed, a reliable industrial chiller becomes an important part of the production setup.
We design and manufacture industrial process chillers for demanding Australian environments, with practical features built around the realities of concrete production - from dusty batching plants and corrosion resistance to transport-ready construction and Australia-wide parts availability.
Built for the Environment
Concrete production environments can present specific challenges for cooling equipment. Dust, exposure to the elements and corrosion risks all need to be considered when specifying a chiller for the application.
Our in-house construction considers the conditions often faced during concrete production. Depending on the application and configuration, FCA chillers can include:
High-performance condenser fans suitable for dusty environments.
Fully epoxy-coated condenser coils for superior corrosion resistance.
Simple, robust construction designed with practical operation and maintenance in mind.
Considering these requirements at the specification stage helps ensure the chiller is suited to its intended installation environment and operating needs.
Engineered for Transport
And purpose-built for the journey to site.
For applications where equipment needs to be transported to site, the supporting frame is an important consideration. FCA chillers can be supplied with an engineered, tested and certified transport frame to support equipment transport requirements.
An optional stainless steel evaporator shell is also available to suit specific applications. Our team can discuss the available configuration options and help determine what is appropriate for your operating conditions and project requirements.
Support Beyond Installation
We have parts available Australia-wide, and an experienced team in Melbourne.
Specifying a chiller means considering more than its initial installation. Access to replacement parts can be an important part of ongoing maintenance planning, particularly for industrial operations that rely on dependable equipment.
FCA offers parts availability Australia-wide, supported by our experienced team of qualified engineers based in Melbourne. We can discuss your application and help with local support requirements across the country.
