About

Founded in 1998, FREDDO&CO is a dairy industry manufacturer based in Pianezze, Italy selling processing equipment, automation & controls, engineering & services.

Freddo&Co is an Italian company based in Pianezze (Vicenza, Veneto) that designs, manufactures and installs industrial refrigeration plants. It was founded in 1998 by Michele Piovesan, Roberto Canova, Enrico Signorini and Leone Fioravanzo and focuses on high-performance, low-energy refrigeration. Its services include plant design and engineering consulting, installation and commissioning, 24/7 technical assistance and remote support, refrigeration unit rental, and retrofitting of existing plants of various makes. The company's NewCold energy efficiency line, built around PLC-based control systems, is applied to new plants by default and can be retrofitted to existing ones. Its project references include dairy applications such as a mozzarella production room, ice accumulation storage, cooling cells and evaporative condensers for cheese and dairy companies, as well as meat, bakery, beverage, frozen food and logistics clients. The company has branches in Noventa di Piave and Bigarello, and has been recognised in energy efficiency competitions in Italy.

Products

NewCold System

Energy efficiency system

Retrofit or new-build energy saving system combining PLC-based controls, applied to refrigeration plants to reduce electricity consumption.

Dynamic Condensation Control (CDC)

Control system

PLC-based system with temperature, humidity and pressure sensors that optimises condensing temperature to raise COP and cut power use.

Dynamic Evaporation Control (CDE)

Control system

Control system that adjusts evaporating temperature to the minimum required by the active load to improve COP.

Waterfall Ice Accumulation System (WIAS)

Ice storage control system

Sequences cooling water through ice storage tanks in order to ensure uniform melting and re-accumulation of ice.

Smart Defrosting System (SDS)

Evaporator defrost control

PLC and temperature probes that trigger localised defrosting based on actual ice build-up in the evaporator coil.

Free Cooling (FC)

Ventilation control system

Motorised dampers admit outside air when conditions allow, reducing the need for compressors.
