See New Cooler Designs at NAFEM 2017

Published by Rick Jones, Technical Services Manager

 

I don’t know about you all, but I am seriously looking forward to spending a week in Orlando for the 2017 NAFEM Show. Even with all the craziness of the show, it’s going to be nice to spend a few days in some sunshine and it’s going to be great to see everyone again.

The NAFEM Show 17

I am excited for you to see the changes we are bringing!

Since the third quarter of 2016, we have been busy designing, organizing and building our booth, attending to all the details, and getting our sales staff and reps up to speed on what we will be displaying. I’m really excited about what we have put together this year’s show. Similar to what we had for the NAFEM Show in 2015, our booth is less about showing what a standard walk-in looks like, and more about education.

With education being our booth focus, we are displaying and talking to several key items, including:

Hybrid Walk-in Design – combining hard nose and soft nose panels

Long Ceiling Spans – up to 25’ single span

Structural Floors – floors built for hand trucks, carts, pallet jacks and small forklifts

Structural Doors – doors that will last a long time

Custom Metals – walk-in finishes for the front of the house

Energy Efficiency – higher R-values through space age technology and thicker panels.

Walk-in and Refrigeration Controls – Temperature and refrigeration monitoring systems

Quick Chill Capabilities – roll through blast chillers.

Merchandising – view windows for display coolers

LED Lighting – standard walk-in and high bay LED options

Watertight Flooring Options – state of the art heat welded thermoplastic flooring

Recessed Ceilings – a new design that changes how ceilings are connected to walls

Column Notches and Angles – custom designs to fit the available space

Beer Tap Walls – keep the foaming down and loose less product

Doors

Sliders

Replacement

Electronic Initiated Defrost

New Factory in 2017

I am excited for you to know we have a new factory located in Prague, Oklahoma, serving the Midwest. The Prague team joined Imperial Brown on January 1st of this year. The on-board process is moving smoothly and we look forward to investing in our new factory, our third, and helping our new employee owners grow and succeed.

I look forward to seeing you all at the craziness called NAFEM. Don’t hesitate to stop by and say “Hi,” at Imperial Brown booth # 2465.
