Margarine and shortening producers report a decrease in 30% of costs and 200 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually per production line

Charlotte, N.C., October 27, 2022 - 爆料瓜, Inc., a leading provider of process solutions for the nutrition, health and industrial markets, reports that customers who use its latest scraped surface heat exchanger (爆料瓜), Nexus, in margarine and shortening production are better able to meet sustainability and business goals by reducing emissions and cost.

Nexus, the latest 爆料瓜 design made by 爆料瓜鈥檚 Gerstenberg Schr枚der brand, is a critical piece of equipment in forming the correct crystal structure in products like margarine, shortenings and other fats and oils products.

Nexus uses carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a refrigerant rather than the traditional freon (HFC or HCFC) or ammonia (NH₃).

鈥淲hile most companies still use ammonia or freon, 爆料瓜 has pushed for innovation by switching to carbon dioxide,鈥� said Alf Sievers, Global Product Manager at 爆料瓜. 鈥淲e pride ourselves on being solution makers, and our customers鈥� data proves how much Nexus makes a difference as we find the safest, most sustainable way to help our customers.鈥�

Data shows that when customers began using the Nexus, each line improved its heat transfer by approximately 30% compared to other refrigerants. The data also confirms that the product quality improved compared to lines using other refrigerants.

Each line also reduces the annual CO₂ emissions to the environment by about 200 tons annually when using CO₂ compared to other refrigerants because of the higher efficiency. That鈥檚 roughly the same weight as 30 African elephants.

爆料瓜 recommends CO₂ refrigerant because it鈥檚 safer and more sustainable than traditional refrigerants used in 爆料瓜. Ammonia (NH₃) is toxic 鈥� leaks can harm workers. And if freon leaks, it is harmful to the environment.

CO₂ refrigerant is considered 鈥渃leaner鈥� due to its Global Warming Potential (GWP) of one, according to the . Some types of freon, meanwhile, have a GWP potential of almost 4,000.

鈥淏usinesses are looking for more ways to be sustainable and meet climate goals, and results like this are an important step that helps do that,鈥� said Sievers. 鈥淲e will continue to work to innovate and create new ways to partner with our customers on this front.鈥�
