Ný-Fiskur Embraces Sustainability with New CO2 Liquid Ice Machine from KAPP

Ny-Fiskur-CO2-OptimICE-Liquid-Ice-Machine

We are excited to announce the recent delivery of a groundbreaking CO2 liquid ice machine to Ný-Fiskur in Sandgerði. This state-of-the-art machine represents a significant leap forward in sustainable cooling technology for the seafood industry.

A Step Towards Sustainability

The new machine is powered by a CO2 coolant, which boasts a Global Warming Potential (GWP) index of just 1 GWP/kg. This is a remarkable improvement compared to traditional liquid ice machines that rely on freon-powered coolants, which have a GWP index of 1,400 GWP/kg. By choosing a CO2-powered system, Ný-Fiskur is taking a meaningful step toward reducing their carbon footprint while maintaining high standards of efficiency and performance.

Energy Efficiency and High Performance

In addition to its environmental benefits, the CO2 liquid ice machine is also highly energy-efficient. It requires 20% fewer kilowatt-hours (kWh) than its freon-based counterparts, making it both a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice. Despite its lower energy consumption, the machine delivers the same maximum efficiency and rapid cooling speeds that our OptimICE® customers have come to expect.

Designed and Built in Iceland

This revolutionary machine was designed, developed, and built at KAPP's facilities in Kópavogur. We are proud to contribute to the advancement of sustainable technology within the seafood industry, right here in Iceland. The CO2 liquid ice machine is a testament to our commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.

We look forward to seeing the positive impact this machine will have on Ný-Fiskur's operations and the broader industry as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in sustainable cooling solutions.
