Container refrigeration systems

Demand for modular energy centers has risen rapidly in recent years. The reasons for this trend can certainly be found in the quick availability, flexibility, and space-saving design of these high-performance ONI systems. From cooling and chilled water to heating energy and compressed air supply, including pumps, tanks, and control units, the entire system is arranged in a compact and space-saving manner within modular units.

Refrigeration Equipment & Technology

A reliable and energy-efficient supply of cooling water for production is a top priority for any business. That is why more and more companies around the world are choosing our energy-optimized and highly reliable cooling system technology

Highly efficient ventilation systems and room air conditioning

Our ventilation systems and room air conditioning solutions feature state-of-the-art technology and meet the highest standards of efficiency and reliability.

Cleanroom Technology

The need for a cleanroom environment, where exposure to airborne solid or liquid particles is minimized, usually stems from product-specific or hygiene requirements. The range of industry-specific requirements is broad, and the associated system engineering is correspondingly complex.

Ice storage

Almost every industrial facility generates waste heat. Use our heat recovery systems to harness this energy for heating your offices, factory floors, and much more.

Battery storage in a container

A container-based battery storage system is a scalable storage solution that ensures flexible access to electrical energy during operations.

Compressed air systems

A reliable and efficient compressed air supply is a top priority for industrial companies. In this context, “reliable” also means generating and supplying compressed air in the quality and quantity required for production processes, machinery, and equipment.

Cooling water for industrial facilities

Cooling water in industrial systems: hydraulics, standards, operational and process safety, and energy efficiency in the recirculation cooling loop with ONI-PowerSave.

Cooling Water Treatment for Industrial Facilities

Cooling water treatment for reliable cooling systems: Stabilize water quality; reduce corrosion and scale buildup.

Temperature Control Technology with Rhytemper®

Optimal manufacturing process. The unit costs of die-cast and injection-molded parts are largely determined by mold temperature control! This is because mold temperature control has a direct impact on process stability, product quality, and cycle time.

Why you should choose ONI

Everything under one roof

From analysis to implementation—structured and production-ready

For optimizations to truly work, you need to understand your specific conditions: product changes, shift operations, hygiene processes, temperature zones, and peak loads. That’s why we start with a practical assessment: We examine equipment conditions, energy flows, consumption data, and interfaces—focusing on what really matters in production.

Challenges

Technical challenges facing food companies

Temperature stability throughout the cold chain

Whether in production areas, buffer zones, or storage areas: The requirements are high and vary depending on capacity utilization and the product portfolio. The technology must accommodate load fluctuations without causing processes to “drift.”

Hygiene, cleaning cycles, and clear operational statuses

Cleaning, condensate management, and sensitive areas require solutions that are designed with hygiene in mind and remain uncomplicated in daily use. Additionally, operating conditions and processes must remain easy to track—even for audits.

High availability despite tight production schedules

If media supply or cooling fails, processes come under immediate pressure. That is why service-friendly systems, sensible redundancies, and short response times are crucial.
