Core technologies
airCub.
Compact, powerful cooling for freezing applications at −40 °C.
Fresh Range
airCub is APINA's Fresh Range technology: freon refrigeration systems compatible with the new low-GWP refrigerants, designed to core-freeze between −20 °C and −40 °C to the highest European quality standard.
A high-value solution for fishing vessels and industrial plants that need access to the European market, strong profitability and F-Gas compliance.
Why airCub
Access to the European market
F-Gas and Kyoto compliance. Compatible with low-GWP refrigerants that secure the long-term investment.
Premium quality
Core freezing between −20 °C and −40 °C, preserving the product's texture, colour and organoleptic properties.
High profitability
High return on investment, especially for tuna fleets serving the European premium-fresh market.
New or existing vessels
Modular solution adaptable to confined spaces, pre-assembled in the factory to reduce time on board.
BV Type Approval
Marine components approved to Bureau Veritas Steel Ships, with condensers resistant to corrosive environments.
SCADA + remote management
PLC automation and proprietary SCADA integration. End-to-end remote management by satellite.
