Discover the possibilities of sustainable food production to ensure a future-proof production process
"We were one of the firsts companies in Italy with a KOMA installation, and we still use the Blast Chiller today"
- Lorenzo Cristiani
Sustainability has been an increasingly important topic over the last few years. Also, in the food & bakery industry, this influence is noticeable, for example, in the increasingly stringent environmental requirements that bakeries must meet.
In addition, more and more companies in the food industry are looking for ways to future-proof their production process with the help of sustainable solutions. At KOMA, we believe that you achieve the best results with installations that perfectly match your process and last for generations. This way, not only do you reap the benefits, but so does the environment.

Until today, chemical refrigerants are the primary type of refrigerants used in the cooling and freezing process in industrial bakeries worldwide. Since studies have shown that these refrigerants are harmful to our environment, increasingly more bakeries are transitioning to natural refrigerants. In the European Union, legislation obliges all companies to switch to natural refrigerants by 2030.
At KOMA, we stimulate the use of natural resources to reduce harmful emissions as much as possible and strive for a sustainable future. We have experience in working with natural refrigerants in the cooling and freezing process and are more than happy to assist you in designing a future-proof production process.

comes experience, know-how and understanding of the bakery and food processing industry like no other.
Over 50 CO2 boosters in operation worldwide
which makes us a pioneer in the natural refrigerant solutions for bakeries.
"CO2 was a new refrigerant for us, but if you want to be future-proof, you can't decide any other way than to work with natural refrigerants. This also resulted in lower energy consumption and is included in the EIA scheme."
