Components

Frame and rack made of tube steel and beams used to store and convey produce into and out of vacuum cooling units.

Packaged Cooling Systems specializes in the manufacturing of custom industrial refrigeration systems, primarily for use in the agriculture industry. The refrigeration system not only increases the shelf life of the product but will also expand the market to more distant locations. The racking and conveyor system allows for 16 large boxes of product to be transported in the Vacuum Coolers.

The steel fabricator and Vacuum Cooler manufacturer worked closely together to design the perfect rack and conveyor system for the cooling units. They both agreed galvanized steel was the preferred option as they wanted coating durability, corrosion performance and life cycle cost based on the wet, damp conditions regarding moisture. They consulted with a nearby galvanizer to assist in the finalization of the design in terms of size and weight.

The galvanizing management team met with them to finalize venting & draining details especially regarding the way the racking system was to be hung and eventually hot-dip galvanized in the kettle. The system has been a huge success. Choosing a galvanized system will allow Vacuum Coolers to have a safe working environment for years to come without worrying about the durability to the coating system.

One Times Square

Hot-dip galvanizing enabled rapid construction for One Times Square's $500 million transformation, with 220 tons of steel processed in just two days to create the maintenance-free skeleton façade supporting the iconic ball drop building's new museum and viewing deck. This "set it and forget it" approach eliminated costly paint system maintenance while facilitating the historic landmark's evolution into a 12-floor visitor destination.
