ITALY AT THE TABLE - SUSTAINABILITY AND GREEN ECONOMY ITALY INCREASINGLY A LEADER IN EUROPE
Even ice cream is increasingly… green
Let’s move on to food, and what food! We’re talking about ice cream: this mouth-watering combination of hedonistic consumption not detached from a pleasant and valid opportunity for healthy nourishment. We are in Pontevico (Bs), the company is Nemox International, which produces machines and equipment for ice cream parlours. “We are aiming for a change in technology so as to remove greenhouse gases from our ice cream machines and replace them with a type of gas that is absolutely non-polluting,” explains Walter Procuranti, the company’s general manager and head of the Icegreen project, which is aimed precisely at sustainable development.
Nemox welcomes you and thanks you for attending this workshop. We hope that the topics discussed will meet everyone's interest.

CLIMATE CHANGES, GLOBAL WARMING, WHAT RELATIONSHIP WITH ICE CREAM MACHINES?
The Earth is protected, 30 kilometers from its surface, by a layer of ozone that absorbs high energy ultraviolet radiation, dangerous for the health of living organisms and not because it is able to modify DNA.
Some industrial chemical compounds such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), freed from refrigerators, spray cans and industrial plants, have affected this protective layer causing a real hole at the Antarctic. Ozone thus loses its ability to
absorb and reflect ultraviolet radiation which, in this way they manage to cross the stratosphere and in addition to being dangerous to human health, also cause global warming.
Nemox International, l'impatto scende a zero e conquista l'Ue
Con Icegreen rivoluziona le macchine per gelato,ora al 100% ecologiche:
il progetto anticipa le nuove norme e viene cofinanziato dall’Europa
La Nemox International rinnova la sfida dal Sigep di Rimini, il Salone della gelateria in programma da sabato prossimo al 22 gennaio. L’azienda di Pontevico presenterà al pubblico il progetto «Icegreen »: contempla rivoluzionari macchinari per gelati 100% green.
UN CORNER ecosostenibile, con attrezzature che non prevedono l’utilizzo di gas serra, create interamente con componenti realizzati a basso consumo e materiali riciclabili, favorendo un risparmio energetico fino al 40%. Progettati per limitare anche l’impiego di acqua,grazie al raffreddamento ad aria, e per ridurre l’eccedenza di produzione, i macchinari mantecano e conservando solo la quantità giornaliera di gelato necessaria alla vendita. Una proposta «made in Bs» che anticipa di due anni l’entrata in vigore della normativa europea: dal 2022 renderà obbligatorio l’utilizzo di refrigeratori professionali con un indiceGwp( Global Warming Potential, potenziale di riscaldamento globale) inferiore a 150 (le creazioni «Icegreen» hanno un indice pari a 3).

SIGEP 2020 • NEMOX presents ICEGREEN
The zero impact GELATO machines with ecological refrigerants and recyclable materials.
Pontevico (BS), January 2020 – A concept for the production and delivery of gelato made entirely with greenhouse gases free appliances. This is the novelty that NEMOX International presents at SIGEP, the gelato show taking place in Rimini from 18 to 22 January: gelato machines that use only ecological refrigerant gases, with an impact on the environment practically equal to zero.
The NEMOX project is called ICEGREEN and has the aim of giving a “green” turn to the gelato market segment. Traditional refrigerants used in gelato machines – as well as in refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners – are hydrofluorocarbons
greenhouse gases: 1 kg of these gases, for example R404a, has a GWP (Global Warming Potential) equivalent to 3922 kg of C02, which corresponds to the emissions into the atmosphere of a car that has driven about 40,000 kilometers.
Icegreen, il gelato si produce con meno gas serra
Industria green
Debutto il 20 ottobre a Hots Milano per la macchina della Nemox
BRESCIA. Sarà ufficialmente
presentato il 20 ottobre, alla fiera Host Milano 2019, l’innovativo progetto «Icegreen» di Nemox International per la riprogettazione di macchine per la produzione di gelato in grado di ridurre le emissioni di gas serra.
L’azienda di Pontevico, leader nel settore della macchine da gelato e sorbetto, intende rispondere in questo modo alla vera sfida del terzo millennio, ovvero la lotta contro l’ inquinamento e le minacce ambientali. Verrebbe da chiedersi che relazione ci sia tra il cambiamento climatico e le macchine da gelato. In effetti, i gas refrigeranti comunemente utilizzali in frigoriferi, congelatori o climatizzatori sono tra i maggiori responsabili del riscaldamento globale.
CLIMATE CHANGE, GLOBAL WARMING, ICE CREAM MACHINES, ARE THEY RELATED?
Nemox presents the ICEGREEN project
During the HOST 2019 event, Nemox will present on its Stand HALL 10 A76-B77, the first working prototypes of a domestic and a professional machine,
fueled with ecological gas.
Nemox started the ICEGREEN project to replace current refrigerants with alternative fluids, such as propane (R290), with a GWP index of 3 CO2 units. This means reducing the impact on emissions by 99.95%. The ICEGREEN project has received funding from the European Community on the LIFE 2018 call, the European Commission’s program to support innovation in favor of the environment and climate. For the presentation of the project, Nemox has made use of the collaboration of Dr. Matteo Falasconi, expert consultant who deals with LIFE projects and Senior Project Manager at CSMT Gestione scart.
Nemox welcomes you and thanks you for attending this workshop. We hope that the topics discussed will meet everyone's interest.
