The scope of FIC products can be divided into two main families:
1. FOOD & REFRIGERATION: this concerns the whole food industry, in particular refrigerators for milk, pasteurisers and ageing tanks for ice-cream, eggs, beer fermenters and ageing tanks, and anything else which needs a heat exchange process in the food sector. The majority of these products involve the use of the Pillow Plate technology to guarantee the heat exchange.
This includes various systems to produce chilled water at +1°C including ice production, direct production or through a falling film system. FIC is the world leader in the construction of eutectic plates used in refrigerated transport.
2. INDUSTRIAL: is structured to study and provide specific and customized heat exchange solutions using systems based on Pillow Plates. Such applications can be found in every industrial sector such as the chemical, petrochemical, energy, pulp & paper, food, mining, pharmaceutical, textile and many other industries. The products that FIC INDUSTRIAL offers are applied in various
processes:
- FIC BULK SOLID HEAT EXCHANGERS used for the heat treatment of granular solids
- FIC FLUE GAS CONDENSERS condensation from flue gas for biomass fired plants, waste to energy instllations and other plants connected to district heating networks.
- FIC PROCESS THERM heat recovery from air streams with moisture content.
- FIC HEAT-EXCHANGERS heat exchange in thermal separation processes, column head condensers, evaporators, crystallizers
- FIC PILLOW PLATES plates and heat exchange elements for reactors, freeze dryers, cooling in hydro power systems, in oenology, in cooling tunnels, evaporative condensers and much more.
- FIC CLAMP-ON: jacketing system for heat transfer for vessels, reactors, tanks. It allows perfect temperature control inside the equipment, with applications in the chemical and petrochemical sector.
- FIC PILLOW PLATES BUNDLES: for industrial refrigeration, in the fishing sector, in hydrocooling, for thermal conditioning in surface treatment baths, in heat pump energy efficiency systems and others.
- FIC PILLOW PLATE JACKETS AND BOTTOMS: components for the construction of tanks, especially in the beverage sector (oenology, beer) where with these solutions it is possible to achieve high heat exchange performance with reduced volumes of refrigerant fluid.
- FIC PILLOW PLATES COMPONENTS: customized heat exchange systems that form an integral part of more complex equipment where it is necessary to have a heat exchange that cannot be achieved with other types of exchangers.
