tecnomac latinoamérica

Tecnomac is an Italian manufacturer headquartered in San Vendemiano, Italy. Founded in 1963, the company originally focused on agricultural machinery before pivoting in 1985 to specialize in refrigeration. Today, as part of the Ali Group, Tecnomac is a premier specialist in "Chill Management," providing high-tech solutions for gastronomy, pastry, bakery, and gelato laboratories.

What Makes Them  Stand Out

Tecnomac stands out for its transition from mechanical engineering to advanced thermal electronics, resulting in equipment that is exceptionally robust and "smart."

  • Multifunctionality (The "Mint" Philosophy): Unlike standard blast chillers that only cool, Tecnomac’s top-tier units are multi-functional workstations. They can chill, freeze, thaw, prove dough, slow-cook at low temperatures, and even pasteurize, all in a single footprint.
  • Advanced Aeration System: Their refrigeration units use an innovative internal airflow design that prevents cold air from blowing directly onto the food. This eliminates "frost burn" and surface dehydration, ensuring ingredients like fresh pasta or delicate berries remain hydrated and vibrant.
  • Eco-Sustainability (R290 Gas): Tecnomac has been a frontrunner in adopting R290 (Propane) refrigerant across its entire range. This natural gas has a near-zero Global Warming Potential (GWP) and provides faster, more stable cooling cycles compared to traditional synthetic refrigerants.
  • Industry 4.0 Connectivity: Most of their modern machines are "Industry 4.0 Ready," utilizing the H-Cloud or Modbus protocols to allow for total remote control, HACCP data logging, and energy consumption monitoring.

Featured Equipment

Mint Series (Multipurpose Blast Chillers)

Description: Their most advanced, all-in-one unit that goes far beyond simple blast chilling.

Key Features: Capable of handling temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. It features specialized cycles for chocolate crystallization, low-temperature meat cooking, and even "regeneration" (reheating) of chilled meals.

ChillTouch & Cinnamon and Pepper (Blast Chillers/Freezers)

Description: Professional-grade blast chillers available in reach-in (Cinammon/Pepper models) or large roll-in (CT models) versions.

Key Features: Can lower the core temperature of hot food from +90°C to +3°C in under 90 minutes. They feature a conical core probe that is easy to remove even from frozen products and a "Sanigen" (Ozone) system to sanitize the internal chamber.

Planner Lev Series (Retarder-Provers)

Description: Cabinets specifically designed for bakers and pastry chefs to manage the dough fermentation process.

Key Features: Offers absolute control over temperature and humidity. It allows for "programmed proving," where you can set the exact time you want the dough to be ready for baking, and the machine will automatically handle the chilling, waking, and proving phases.

TecnoCEL & Crisp Series (Refrigerated Cabinets)

Description: High-capacity storage refrigerators and freezers built with modularity in mind.

Key Features: The TecnoCEL line is modular, allowing users to join multiple units together (up to 8 doors) to create a single, continuous refrigerated cell. They feature the aforementioned indirect aeration to prevent drying out semi-finished products.

BanControl (Refrigerated Workbenches

Description: A combination of a heavy-duty stainless steel work surface and a specialized refrigeration cabinet.

Key Features: Designed for small footprints, these units offer adjustable tray racks (compatible with GN 1/1 or EN 60x40 trays) and high-efficiency cooling, making them ideal for prep stations in busy kitchens.

AquaMac (Water Chillers)

Description: Specialized machines that produce chilled water for dough mixing.

Key Features: Essential for high-quality bread and pizza production. These units provide water at a perfectly controlled temperature to ensure the dough remains stable during the kneading process, regardless of the ambient room temperature.
