Altai Territory: Turkey is growing in scale, and cold is strengthening its position

In the Altai Territory, the construction of the largest turkey production complex in the Urals is nearing completion, marking a new era for the region's agro-industrial sector and opening up opportunities for companies specializing in industrial refrigeration equipment. The commissioning of this massive project is driving demand for high-tech cooling and freezing systems, which are essential for ensuring product quality and safety throughout the production process.

A landmark event was the completion of the construction of a modern incubator designed to accommodate 500,000 eggs at a time. In parallel, the construction of poultry houses, production facilities, storage facilities, and other facilities necessary for a full production cycle is underway. At the initial stage, it is planned to achieve an impressive production volume of over 6,000 tons of turkey meat per year, which will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the food security of the region and the country as a whole.

However, the successful implementation of such a large-scale project is impossible without the use of advanced technologies, in particular, without reliable and efficient industrial refrigeration systems. This is why the construction of the complex has a significant impact on companies in this field, creating new opportunities for development and implementation of innovative solutions.

Industrial Refrigeration Equipment: A Key Factor in Success

The production of turkeys requires strict adherence to temperature conditions at every stage, from egg incubation to the storage of finished products. This necessitates the use of a wide range of industrial refrigeration equipment, which ensures not only the preservation of the product but also its high quality.

• Incubation chambers with climate control systems: Provide optimal conditions for embryo development by maintaining a stable temperature and humidity.

  • Specifications: Precise temperature control in the range of 37-38°C, humidity adjustment from 50% to 70%, automated control and monitoring system, and high energy efficiency.

• Pre-cooling chambers: Designed for rapid cooling of turkey carcasses after slaughter, preventing the development of pathogenic microorganisms.

  • Specifications: Temperature range +2…+4°C, intensive air cooling, air filtration systems, and automatic process control.

• Tunnel freezers (shock freezing): They allow you to quickly freeze products while preserving their structure and taste.

  • Characteristics: Freezing temperature up to -35°C, high air speed, automated control system, high productivity (up to several tons per hour). Example: Tunnel type freezer JBT Frigoscandia Freezer GYRoCOMPACT® 600S.

• Spiral freezers: An effective solution for freezing large quantities of products.

  • Specifications: Continuous freezing process, compact design, high energy efficiency, and the ability to freeze various types of products.

• Refrigerated storage chambers for finished products: Ensure stable storage temperatures for frozen and chilled turkeys.

  • Specifications: Temperature range from -25°C to +5°C, temperature and humidity control systems, rack storage systems, and energy management systems.

• Chillers (water cooling stations): Used to cool technological equipment and maintain the required temperature in production facilities.

  • Features: High cooling capacity, automatic temperature control, energy efficiency, and the use of environmentally friendly refrigerants.

Functions and applications:

The main objective of industrial refrigeration equipment in the turkey production complex is to ensure product safety and quality. This is achieved through:

• Preventing the growth of bacteria and microorganisms that cause product spoilage.
• Preservation of the taste and nutritional value of turkey meat.
• Increase the shelf life of products.
• Maintaining the necessary sanitary and hygienic conditions at the workplace.

The launch of a large-scale turkey production complex in the Altai Territory is not only an important step in the development of the regional agricultural sector, but also a powerful impetus for the development of the industrial refrigeration equipment market. Innovative technologies and modern solutions in the field of cooling and freezing play a crucial role in ensuring the high quality and safety of food products, and their implementation at the new enterprise will be the key to its successful operation and prosperity. This project will serve as a catalyst for the further development of the industry and the introduction of advanced technologies in other agricultural complexes across the country.
