Precision Dual-Temperature Cooling for Critical Food Production
A fast, bespoke rental cooling solution delivering reliable +2°C and –5°C temperature control for a live frozen food manufacturing facility — installed in just five days with zero downtime.
CHALLENGE
Provide an immediate temporary cooling solution following the failure of a critical process chiller, preventing disruption to snack food production while maintaining strict hygiene and product quality standards.
SOLUTION
- Daikin Rental Solutions rapidly supplied and commissioned a compact air-cooled rental chiller, complete with turnkey installation and quick-connect flexible hoses, restoring process cooling within hours.
RESULT
- Reliable cooling was maintained throughout production, protecting product quality and preventing costly downtime. The success of the project has led the client to consider repeat hires for future production requirements.
When a major international frozen food facility needed a fast, reliable dual-zone cooling solution to maintain production continuity, at rusted industrial refrigeration contractor turned to Daikin Rental Solutions for support.
Faced with a tightly constrained installation window and the need to maintain two separate temperature zones, Daikin Rental Solutions deployed a bespoke rental cooling package that delivers both precision control and operational reliability, while minimising disruption to on-site activity.
Customer Requirements
A leading international frozen food manufacturer required a temporary dual-temperature cooling solution to support ongoing production during planned works.
The system needed to maintain two independent temperature zones at +2°C and –5°C, be deployed within a tight five-day installation window, and integrate with the existing cooling infrastructure while avoiding disruption to live operations.
Challenges and Expertise
Maintaining two separate temperature-controlled environments within a live food production facility required careful planning and precise system design.
Daikin Rental Solutions engineered two independent cooling systems, allowing each zone to operate at its required temperature without cross-interference. Through detailed pre-planning, close collaboration with the refrigeration contractor and rapid deployment, the complete installation was commissioned within five days with no impact on production.
Daikin Rental Solution
Daikin Rental Solutions supplied two bespoke temporary cooling systems designed specifically for the site's operational requirements.
The solution included:
- Rental chiller connected to the existing cooling infrastructure for the +2°C zone
- Dedicated rental chiller and fan coil units for the –5°C zone
- Independent controls for each temperature zone
- Complete temporary pipework, flexible hoses and ancillary equipment
The modular system design enabled reliable, precise temperature control while minimising installation time and disruption to the operational facility.
