Conditioners for cheese aging warehouses
Ensure precise temperature and humidity control in cheese aging warehouses to maintain product quality and consistency while minimizing energy consumption across seasonal variations.

Controls Climate for Cheese Aging Process
Progema Engineering offers the PDC and CDA series, engineered specifically for cheese aging facilities. These air-to-air heat pump conditioners offer precise climate control essential for the maturation of cheeses such as Grana Padano and Pecorino. Featuring scroll and semishermetic compressors, they utilize direct expansion for efficient cooling and dehumidification. The system supports automated operation, with PLC controls and remote monitoring to seamlessly integrate into your existing production line. It yields energy efficiency improvements with components optimized to handle variable seasonal demands. The stainless steel construction ensures both durability and hygiene, complying with food industry standards. Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, these conditioners allow for straightforward access and include remote assistance capabilities. Custom configurations and comprehensive engineering support are available to tailor the system to specific environmental and production requirements.
