Meat and Poultry

Meat and poultry production continues to increase to meet worldwide demand, and technology has created a wider range of usage for meat and the ability to transport meat products around the world. Refrigeration and temperature control are vital aspects throughout this entire process, which requires extremely hygienic conditions and compliance with strict government regulations and standards.

Vilter is a leading supplier of refrigeration equipment that provides meat processors with reliable performance for processing, storing and delivering quality meat products to the buying public.

Beverage

If there's one particular industry that's linked to refrigeration, it's the beverage industry. The cooling process and refrigeration are keys to proper fermentation and germination, to product consistency throughout the production process, and to the delivery of a wide range of beverages to the consumer.

Vilter has a long history in providing refrigeration solutions to the beverage industry and as a result, this experience helps to create predictable and efficient beverage processing.

Food processing

Refrigerating foods is a critical component for today's food processors. Whether it's cooling foods in between processes or keeping foods cold or frozen prior to transport, food processing plants require constant temperatures.

Vilter's line of single screw compressors are the perfect solution for many food processing applications as they are less costly to operate and maintain.

Dairy

The dairy industry is one of the more intricate and diverse, and it requires refrigeration and temperature controls that are reliable throughout all its aspects. Refrigeration is needed in the production and storage of a wide range of products from milk, cheese, yogurt and butter. And, refrigeration is a vital aspect in new product development. In addition, proper refrigeration is needed to meet hygienic and government standards, the delivery of an attractive dairy product to consumers, and energy consumption demands of the refrigeration plant.

Based in America's Dairyland, Vilter has always been in the middle of providing reliable and efficient refrigeration solutions to the diary industry.

Seafood

The catch of the day would be spoiled were it not for the cooling and refrigeration benefits of Vilter compressors. Major fishing ports throughout the world rely on consistent refrigeration as they ship product around-the-world.

Refrigerated Storage and Warehousing

Because of technology advancements and logistic strategies, the cold storage of perishable items has become an important stage in the distribution between manufacturers/processors and retail locations. The bulk storage of large or small quantities requires refrigeration that enables cold store facilities to be safe, energy conscious and compliant with government requirements and standards.

Vilter works closely with customers to identify and determine the appropriate refrigeration concept to create facilities that make for efficient and economical distribution.

Petro-Chemical, Gas Compression

The highly specialized and regulated hydrocarbon industry puts unique demands on suppliers providing the refrigeration and gas compression systems used in oil and gas production and transportation, and petro-chemical and CO2 processing.

Vilter understands these refrigeration issues associated with hydrocarbon processing installations and has the engineering know-how to develop the right component equipment that significantly contributes to an efficient and safe operation.

Ice Rinks and Arenas

The keys to operating a successful ice rink or arena are having it easy and inexpensive to run and maintain. Ice rinks have been built around the world in areas that have weather and ground conditions that are unique to the locality. Whether the rink is in frigid conditions on a hard rock bed or in an area that's warm year round and built on sand, the compressors that are used must provide the best ice maintenance and heating conditions.

With our experience and range of equipment and controls, Vilter has had a long history of being in many of the most successful ice rinks and arenas.

Micro Electronics

Vilter refrigeration systems are used to cool ovens employed in IC chip and electronic package production. Typically, a glycol solution is chilled to -10° F (-23° C) and passed into a chip oven for controlled cool-down procedures. Precise control of temperature and timing are critical in this application.

Vilter's long experience with precise control of refrigeration systems is critical to success in micro-electronic processing. We can work closely with you and your other equipment vendors to custom design temperature control systems that will meet the exact needs of your particular process.

Pharmaceuticals

Refrigeration systems are vital to process control and environmental management in pharmaceutical manufacturing and storage. Vilter refrigeration systems chill glycols used in reactor vessel jacketing and immersion chillers. They can also be used in air chilling systems for removal of water vapor and CO2. Given the extremely high value of pharmaceutical raw materials, intermediates and finished products, it's vital that refrigeration systems operate with very precise temperature control and very high reliability.

Vilter's experience in the pharmaceutical industry can be of great value whether you're designing a new process or upgrading an existing one. We understand the nuances of the precise temperature control required in this industry, and we can work very effectively with other equipment vendors to integrate the right refrigeration performance into your overall system.
