Cool solution to Scots meat
Cooling specialist Star Refrigeration has completed a state-of-the-art abattoir for one of Scotland's largest beef and lamb processors.
The £500,000 installation is an innovative and environmentally conscious refrigeration plant. The provision of waste heat recovery from the plant's oil cooling circuit is capable of meeting 50% of the facility's wash down and hot water requirements.
Based in Linlithgow, West Lothian, R Y Henderson produces a full range of bone-in and boneless primal meat cuts.
In 2005 R Y Henderson began work on the construction of a new abattoir and in order to meet the 6,000m2 facility's post-slaughter refrigeration requirements, it called in Star to design, build and install an industrial refrigeration system.
The central chilling system uses ammonia with pumped propylene glycol as secondary refrigerant. Glycol is distributed through a network of pipes to 13 coolers, which serve various post-slaughter and meat production chill areas. In the post-slaughter chill areas, air is distributed directly at the meat carcasses via a sock system to aid the cooling process.
