Many customers may have existing walk-in rooms that have aged,
or outlived their original design intention. We offer the service
of “revamp” where we make a site survey and determine
what components may have to be changed to meet new performance
or specifications. Generally this approach is cost saving, as
the walk-in panels existing may be intact, needing only new
refrigeration components.
Some
portions of older walk-ins wear out sooner than others. Typical
problems occur with the entrance doors. These tend to take a
lot of abuse and can require new gaskets, hinges etc. Many times
the entire door needs replacing, and we can do this on any make
walk-in.
Another
problem area is the insulated floor. In the past, galvanized
surfaces were used and these would wear, having the galvanic
coating scuffed away. The raw steel will rust, sometimes straight
through. After surveying your particular situation we can either
replace the entire floor with a new stainless steel one, or
in some cases where rusting hasn't occurred but the floor has
deformed, we can put coverings over the floor to extend its
life.
We
get many calls for relocating walk-ins. From either one floor
of a building to another, or many states away. We can dismantle
most any brand of walk-in and reassemble in a new location.
On occasion this work is accompanied by an updating of some
of the components to extend usability.
Many
walk-ins are simply too small after a period of time, and we
can add panels to existing walk-ins to make them larger. When
we make the site study we can determine if your existing refrigeration
components are sized adequately to handle the expansion, and/or
we can provide additional equipment to make up for any potential
deficiencies.
From
time to time we come across used walk-ins and components which
can serve in some applications.
From
your initial call into our office we can usually outline the
feasibility of any revamp you may be considering. Once we have
visited your site and made a survey you will receive a written
quotation which will spell out each step in the procedure.
