The factory chose to install four HACST evaporative condensing units with stainless steel 304 coils and casing. Not only as a “replace the old box” project, but also as a move to future-proof their refrigeration system against corrosion problems they faced earlier.

The old machines? Well, they were from another well-known brand, but after years of washing cycles and humid working vibe, the frames had stains, coil surface corrosion, and scale buildup. It wasn’t a total failure, just… slow losing efficiency, costing more energy, and making the maintenance team tired dealing with coil flushing quite often.

Why Stainless Steel 304 (Instead of Galvanized) Was the Key Choice

Food plants in hot Southeast Asia need cooling gear that can survive rough treatment. This is where **304 stainless steel coil bundle** gives a big advantage:

• Very good corrosion resistance against chlorine and detergents
• Better hygiene — which poultry export factories must care about
• More stable heat exchange even if the environment is humid and greasy
• Longer lifespan with fewer shutdowns

The plant cleaning team actually mentioned this point — “We wash our place multiple times daily, so corrosion proof is really important.”
Yes, first-hand feedback like that always means a lot.

Custom-Sized Units to Fit the Old Setup

Instead of forcing the customer to change piping, our engineers customized the dimensions. Same footprint space, improved coil surface area. Fans were upgraded too, with a quieter and more energy-friendly design.

Small detail, big impact: water distribution design was modified to reduce scale spots, a common issue in poultry factory condensers.

After Installation — Real-World Improvement

So what happened after startup?

• Compressor runs at lower discharge pressure (no more random temp spikes)
• Better freezer room stability (chilled chicken output became more consistent)
• Maintenance downtime reduced (team happy)
• Energy savings noticed — not giant but clearly there

And importantly — no corrosion on coil surface after cleaning cycles. Something old units failed to avoid.

Shipping & Setup

Units shipped by sea to Malaysia, securely packed. The factory’s local contractor handled installation, while HACST engineers provided drawings and remote check support. Smooth one.

Final Thoughts

For poultry plants or meat factories around the region, cooling is not only “keep the meat cold”. It’s also hygiene, material durability, and long-term operational stability. Using stainless-steel coil evaporative condensers is not a trend — it’s becoming a standard.

If you run a chicken, seafood or meat plant and want to upgrade your refrigeration capacity or avoid corrosion issues, give us a shout. We do tailored builds, like this project.
