DESCRIPTION:

The ability to thoroughly clean all types of equipment (including air coolers) installed in areas where food is prepared and packaged is critical to the food processing industry. Colmac AR "Above Rail" Industrial Air Coolers, were created with this requirement in mind. Panels on the sides of the unit cabinet are easily removed for full access and cleaning of coil fin surfaces and cabinet interior. Optional stainless steel cabinet construction is available for enhanced cleanability. Colmac AR coolers are also designed for low noise, and low air velocity, important features for populated work areas such as food processing rooms.

In 1996, Colmac was selected to supply all of the air coolers for a large french fry processing facility constructed in the Midwestern United States. The facility includes a high temperature reprocessing, repackaging room, with a requirement for fully cleanable air coolers. Colmac AR coolers were selected for operation with direct expansion ammonia and air defrost. 304 stainless steel cabinets were specified since the units are cleaned at regular intervals. The units were also provided with two speed fan motors for super quiet operation.
