Gelsystem for the Ho.Re.Ca. sector

The Alajmo group manages ten venues, including restaurants, bars, and bistros. For the new "In.Gredienti" gourmet food market laboratory, Alajmo has relied on Gelsystem technology for the implementation of a refrigeration unit.

In the venues, two blast chillers and several refrigerated cells are active, which now, thanks to the new installation by the Viterbo-based company, operate in symbiosis. The first Gelsystem investment dates back ten years ago in Venice, at the "Gran Caffè Quadri" in Piazza San Marco, where a system was installed that - in addition to ensuring both low and normal temperatures - also manages air conditioning. Alajmo has also entrusted Gelsystem with the management of the refrigerators at the Amo restaurant located inside the fascinating "T Fondaco dei Tedeschi," also in Venice. "With Gelsystem technology, we have recovered significant workspaces and operability, and significantly reduced maintenance costs," emphasises Erminio Alajmo.

Langosteria is a reference point for dining in Milan. Enrico Buonocore is the creator of a restaurant that bases its success on selected raw materials and cooking methods, but also on ingredient preservation techniques branded by Gelsystem. The technology of the Viterbo-based company manages, with the same excellent results in terms of efficiency and energy savings, also Langosteria Bistrot, Paraggi, and Langosteria Café.

Alessandro Borghese, a well-known television presenter and an innovative and eclectic chef, opens his first restaurant in Milan, focusing on technological innovation and energy efficiency. This goal was achieved by choosing a Gelsystem unit to manage all the fridge utilities in the kitchen.

The renowned and popular actor Lino Banfi has relied on innovative Gelsystem technology for the restaurant serving traditional Apulian cuisine, inaugurated a few years ago in Rome. A single Gelsystem unit manages all the fridge utilities in the kitchen and for air conditioning service in the restaurant, thus reducing energy consumption and emissions.

Davide Oldani is one of the 50 Chef ambassadors of Italian cuisine worldwide, and he is credited with defining "Cucina Pop." For Oldani, cold plays a fundamental role in food quality; modern cuisine cannot do without a preservation phase. The entire pantry in the new D'O in Cornaredo is refrigerated, and to manage temperatures optimally, he relied on Gelsystem, reducing not only energy consumption but also failure scenarios thanks to remote control.

Claudio Liu, the first Michelin star in history for an ethnic restaurant in Italy, in 2006, at the opening of his first YIO restaurant, relied on Gelsystem for the management of fridge utilities. Given the results obtained in terms of efficiency and energy savings, he chose Gelsystem technology for all the family-owned restaurants in Milan.

CIRFOOD is an Italian company operating in the collective and commercial catering sector. Being environmental sustainability one of the fundamental values underlying its activities, for the Rome office, it relied on Gelsystem, focusing on energy efficiency. This goal was achieved by choosing a Gelsystem unit to manage all the fridge utilities in the kitchen.

Pabulo is a semi-finished laboratory, where all raw materials are stored, processed, and prepared, from meat to fish, from cold cuts to cheeses, from sweets to ice creams, through the production of everything related to baking. From Pabulo, the beating heart of 6 famous Roman restaurants, dozens of vans depart every day to distribute to various satellite restaurants. To optimise processing processes and reduce management costs, they turned to Gelsystem, choosing high-energy-saving refrigeration units for the preservation of food products.

For four years, De Riso's creations, known and appreciated worldwide, have been jealously (and deliciously) stored in the safe cold of Gelsystem. A precious ally for sweets that have become symbols of Campania pastry. The positive experience of Minori, where a single control unit is active and operational for all refrigerators, has been replicated in Tramonti, where there are 20 motors (each with a power of 10 horsepower) that power all the refrigerators in the venue. Also, in the main house of the Amalfi Coast pastry, Gelsystem control units will be activated. "The systems are reliable and precise," says Sal De Riso - thanks to remote management, in case of need, technical support is always ready to solve any problems quickly. Gelsystem technology also guarantees significant energy savings.

"With the new Gelsystem refrigeration unit, we have solved all the problems resulting from the use of individual motors and made an important leap in quality. The advantages are many, including the reduction of energy and maintenance costs." Luigi Biasetto's story is made of passion for pastry and the search for absolute harmony, like that of the homonymous Biasetto pastry shop in Padua, which is part of the prestigious Relais Desserts Association that gathers excellences in high pastry and chocolate in the world.

"The Gelsystem plant - specifies - has allowed us to optimize our organization both in terms of space and the functionality of production processes, which, thanks to centralized management, are not subject to interruptions and other problems of various kinds."

In his new venue in Noale, in the province of Venice, Stefano Zizzola chose Gelsystem for a historic pastry shop that was born at the end of the 1800s. Zizzola has always meant taste and tradition in the sign of innovation.

"With the new Gelsystem plant, we have made an important leap in quality both in terms of product quality and efficiency in the management of various production processes. The only refrigeration unit installed also significantly reduces energy costs." For the laboratory and the rooms of the new venue, Gelsystem installed a SweetCubic Refrigeration Unit, which replaces traditional motors and powers the cooling circuit of all machines, and a ClimaCubic, used to air-condition the venue and manage the microclimate of all spaces.

A better organization of spaces and lower energy and maintenance costs. These are the main advantages of the Gelsystem plant installed in Verga pastry shop in Giussano, in the province of Monza Brianza. "When you have 25 refrigeration units," explains Giorgio Verga, "having a single machine that manages everything is a great convenience. The work of this unit is carried out by multiple motors, so even in the event that one should fail, there is no risk of stopping the production process." The new Gelsystem plant has therefore simplified the management and organization of activities, also guaranteeing significant economic savings. "There is no risk of overheating of the plants, thanks to the new Gelsystem investment, we have been able to make an important leap in quality."

In Fiordilatte Gelateria, Giancarlo Timballo chose Gelsystem and, in particular, an Ecocubic that powers utilities at both positive and negative temperatures and, at the same time, produces cold water for cooling laboratory machines along with the production of free hot water at +60°C. "We have achieved a substantial energy saving," he says.

Colalucci has relied on Gelsystem technology for about ten years, installing a machine in his Nettuno company for the complete recovery of water for cooling all company systems with glycol (a liquid that meets the anti-freezing needs of the product). The Gelsystem machine allows the production of hot water, heating, and conditioning without any waste of water, for savings of about 12 thousand euros per year.

The prestigious Hotel in Positano has relied on Gelsystem's innovative refrigeration for several years. Gelsystem designed and implemented the only thermodynamic complex to power 46 refrigerators, resulting in a reduction in emissions and consumption. "The systems - specifies Carlo Cinque, administrative director and problem solver of the hotel - allow the recovery of excess heat, which is used to heat part of the water used in our facility."

Among the green hills dominated by centuries-old olive groves and the blue of the Adriatic Sea, Gelsystem's highly energy-efficient units were chosen to meet the cooling demand of what has been considered the most beautiful hotel in the world: Borgo Egnazia. A farmhouse built from scratch in the countryside of Savelletri, it has become a symbol of Puglia.

The SlimCubic BT/TN Refrigeration Unit is an AC Inverter electricity economiser. It is characterised by high energy efficiency, ensuring significant savings, and very low noise.

SlimCubic BT/TN is produced in two versions, with 2 or 3 Scroll compressors, powered by Drivers (AC Inverter), designed for commercial refrigeration units at temperatures from -25°C to +15°C.

Its small size compared to traditional units allows for use in places where available space is minimal.

The brand-new SlimLevel BT/TN model, like the SlimCubic series units, is an AC Inverter electricity economiser.

This version, designed to meet the needs of spaces where it's necessary to maximise space utilisation, can be positioned under a table or fitted into a technical compartment, as it comes with a remote condenser. Designed for commercial refrigeration units at temperatures from -25°C to +15°C, it is produced in the 2 or 3 compressor version, and its very high energy efficiency ensures significant savings and very low noise.

Ecoflow Inverter water economisers continuously cool the condensation water from refrigeration utilities, ensuring a 100% water saving on water consumption. The hot water exiting from laboratory utilities (batch freezers, ice cream display cabinets, pasteurisers, etc.) is instantly cooled in the Ecoflow to a temperature of 8-10°C and reintroduced into the circuit to power the same machines in operation.

This principle allows the use of water-cooled machines even in areas where water is scarce. Furthermore, water condensation has a much higher energy yield than air condensation, allowing for significant energy savings as well as optimal operation of connected utilities that always operate at a constant condensation temperature.
