Epta strengthens its commitment to energy efficiency by expanding its range
- Information
As part of an evolution towards the ecological transition, Epta – an independent global player specialising in commercial refrigeration – presents itself as a “green transition enabler”, further expanding its range of complete refrigeration systems to define new market standards for efficiency.
«Efficiency, reduced consumption and sustainability – the company explains – are key topics on retailers’ agendas as they seek to address economic and environmental challenges and comply with the requirements established by international directives such as ecodesign and energy labelling. Retail operators are increasingly focused on integrating retail energy management (Rem) strategies into their businesses, namely activities that enable energy to be managed effectively and rationally. These include a series of best practices, such as adopting the latest-generation technologies and implementing efficiency measures relating, for example, to lighting, air conditioning and refrigeration. Refrigeration, in fact, accounts for approximately 40% of the energy costs of an average supermarket, making it essential to opt for high-performance systems capable of ensuring significant savings».
Continuous improvement, in line with the claim “Innovation reloaded. The Epta Sustainable System”, which highlights Epta’s system as the tangible embodiment of an innovative approach that combines talent, ideas and technologies to create cutting-edge products and services designed with sustainability at their core. Concrete examples include Costan’s best-in-class solutions: positive- and negative-temperature vertical cabinets, both integral and remote, which, in addition to being the fullest expression of this mindset, deliver the best performance in terms of savings and energy efficiency.
«Thanks to our ten Research & Development centres – the company continues – we identify the key elements for ever-higher performance, including an accurate study of airflow for better air circulation inside the cabinet, the use of efficient evaporators, solutions such as Advanced doors for a higher level of thermal insulation in the cabinets, and the implementation of digital tools for precise remote management of consumption».
A tangible expression of Epta’s commitment is the Costan brand’s Tango Ultra cabinet, which can achieve class A in specific configurations, delivering energy savings of 40%. A cabinet designed to give the fresh produce section an exclusive character, while also ensuring enhanced visibility of the products on display thanks to full-height doors and LED lighting.
A metropolitan look is also recreated inside the store by GranVista Ultra for pre-packaged fresh products and GranBering Integral Ultra for frozen products, among Costan’s top-of-the-range models in terms of energy labelling. These two solutions reach up to class B, with performance levels respectively 26% and 35% higher than those of the previous models. The first cabinet, GranVista Ultra, also available in an Integral version, is characterised by optimal insulation and allows its operating parameters to be adjusted according to external conditions.
The second, also available in a five-door version thanks to Epta’s triple refrigeration circuit, stands out for its inverter-equipped compressors and a new hybrid defrost system. Advanced technology combined with an eye-catching presentation, shaping a product mosaic in which every item is showcased to its best advantage. Like the entire range of Epta’s various brands, GranVista Ultra and GranBering Integral Ultra are also designed to operate with natural refrigerants: Co2 for remote cabinets and R290 propane for integral cabinets, thereby encouraging a sustainable approach in retail outlets.
