Reference

The Coca-Cola company was interested in insulating the pasteurizer at its factory. The goal of the application was to reduce heat losses and reduce surface temperature to ensure work safety, while adhering to all hygienic requirements and without limitation of operation. The use of mineral wool or similar insulating materials was not possible due to the operation and the requirements related to the operation.

Preliminary Paint Test:

In March 2017, based on Coca-Cola’s request, we applied a paint sample to the pasteuriser to verify the declared properties of the material. Certainly, we also submitted an attestation from the National Institute of Public Health, Prague – Expert assessment of suitability for use of mineral material ADITIZOL for indirect contact with foodstuffs.

Application of paint:

Based on the preliminary test results and on the conclusion that the material meets all requirements, the ADITIZOL BASIC material was applied to the cleaned surface of the pasteurizer in full operation (the ADITIZOL BASIC can be applied on surfaces up to 150 °C) and partly during a short overhaul in August 2017. The material thickness was 1.5 – 2.0 mm.

Result after application:

• the surface temperature of the pasteuriser is reduced by 38%;
• significant improvement in work safety;
• reduction in the energy intensity of production without the need for additional installation of space-intensive thermal insulating elements ;
• mechanical stability of the paint layer.
