MTA Australasia has been supplying plug-and-play all-in-one solutions for food and beverage manufactures worldwide since 1982. Its latest product developments are designed for reliability and energy saving. This article was first published in Food & Drink Business May 2021.

MTA chillers and heat pumps have a robust design and are fitted with components purpose built for industrial applications. They are specifically designed for the food and drink industry, where absolute reliability 24/7 is required whatever the conditions.

Complete flexibility to all user needs is ensured thanks to MTA’s evaporator configuration, offering water supply temperatures from -24ºC to +30ºC. Key development areas for the MTA range of air-cooled water chillers are:

TAEevo Tech

Cooling capacity of 2–260 kW,  with MTA’s custom evaporator-in-tank configuration. The chilled water supply temperature range is 30ºC down to -10ºC for the standard range, and down to -24ºC for LWT version.

It offers precise control and adaptability to rapidly changing requirements, ensuring all process phases are catered for, even in the harshest conditions.

Aries Tech 2

Cooling capacity of 230–940 kW, with shell & tube evaporators and multi-scroll technology. This series now comes as standard with V configuration condenser coils, and optional internal chilled water buffer tanks with choice of single or dual water pumps.

This series also provides a choice on refrigerant type, standard with R410A or the option of a lower GWP refrigerant, R545B.

The iPhoenix G series

Cooling capacity of 382–1945 kW, with inverter technology for medium to large processes. This series comes as standard with screw compressors fitted with variable speed technology, shell & tube evaporators, V configuration condenser coils, and with low GWP refrigerant R513A.

This is the solution when energy-saving and adaptability are paramount.

Packaging News

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
