At Danfoss, we can be your preferred decarbonization partner. With our full range of industrial refrigeration solutions, we help you use less energy, reducing emissions and costs. From ammonia to CO₂ based systems, from food manufacturing and processing to storage and distribution, our end-to-end solutions can make your refrigeration processes more efficient.
The food and beverage industry relies heavily on energy, consuming 30% of global electricity. A major portion of this comes from refrigeration, which plays a critical role in maintaining food quality and safety. In food processing, refrigeration accounts for 35% of the total energy bill, while in cold storage, it rises to 54%. Optimizing refrigeration efficiency is key to reducing energy costs and supporting more sustainable operations.
Backed by more than 80 years of experience in the global refrigeration business, we develop and supply the right products for advanced, environmentally friendly cooling installations.
Danfoss offers specialized solutions for both food processing and cold storage, addressing the unique demands of each sector. We emphasize the importance of freezing performance in food processing industries to ensure product quality and safety.

Ice cream on a hot summer day, or any time of year, is always a treat. But the process of creating the perfect flavor, to exact specifications, is complex. Perry’s Ice Cream, which manufactures ice cream bars, pints, squrounds and 3-gallon tubs for grocery stores, independent shops and sports stadiums in its Akron, N.Y., manufacturing plant. A new spiral freezing tunnel had been installed to produce a new line of ice cream bars and required holding a constant temperature with varying heat loads to produce a variety of products on the line.

Canneberges Drummond Inc. recently completed a major modernization of their pumping system, transitioning from diesel to an eco-friendly, automated solution—thanks to the collaboration of Kopers and 6MGB. By integrating Danfoss VLT® AQUA Drive FC 202, MCT 31 Harmonic Calculation Software, and the VLT® Advanced Harmonic Filter, the cranberry producer achieved: reduced CO2 emissions, improved system reliability, lower operational costs.
Recipes for cheese are thousands of years old, passed down through generations and crossing continents —like the Swiss cheese recipes used by Shep Ysselstein, owner and “grand fromage” of Gunn’s Hill Cheese in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada.
Food processing plants require a dependable source of water in large quantities for the washing and rinsing, steaming, cooking, and cooling of food, and during plant sanitation operations. That’s why a large Midwest food processor wanted full control over its water supply by constructing a private water well on its own property. However, what looked like a simple solution was quite complex below the surface — as the well driller discovered when he embarked on the project.
