Refrigerated Storage Warehouses, Warehouses and Spe-cial Application Coolers and Freezers. Rack Supported DesignsSelf-Supporting Designs Suspended Ceiling DesignsExterior Pre-Engineered Metal Building Designs When investing in a stor-age warehouse facility, it is important to remember the most costly part of your investment is most often the product which you are stor-ing. Depending on the type of product, it ’s tolerance to temperature changes within the storage room will vary. But in all cases, a loss of tem-perature caused by equip-ment failure can be a very costly problem. Through the proper design of redundant refrigeration systems, you can protect your investment. Talk to us at Polar Star Refrigeration and see how cost ef-fectively you can assure the quality of your products in long term storageWhen designing any large cold storage area, it is important that optional construction techniques are un-derstood before you make a final decision on how you will proceed with your project. For example, our experienced personnel can review options available to insulate large floor areas and the advan-tages of each for your particular location and operation. Polar Star ’s refrigerated buildings deliver the maximum in strength, convenience, and economy. We have the ability to design a structure that installs quickly and saves plenty. Our reliable distribution process will supply everything you need,

and we’ll have your building up and running in no time. Custom de-sign is part of the pro-cess. Regardless of what kind of business you’re in, Polar Star provides refrigerated buildings to meet the needs of each individual customer. The top-grade construction on a Polar Star refrigerated build-ing makes for a tough,

dependable structure. Double-return flanges on the panel skins securely anchor metal to foam. Caulk-free joints and precisely molded urethane tongues and grooves on panel edges assure a snug fit and minimize heat transfer. Best of all, our renowned fully insulated, energy-efficient 4”, 5” or 6” (101, 127, 152mm)panels drastically lower your energy costs when utilizing Polar Star ’s refrigeration equipment available with a wide range of refrigerants. Polar Star refriger-ated buildings deliver on all levels. They’re economical, resilient, and loaded with benefits ...Pre-engineered, pre-fabricated interior and exterior with choice of rugged, good-looking finishes Available in Galval-ume steel, aluminum, stainless steel, white and sand tan poly-ester finish . Packaged refrigeration systems, Wide selection of

doors, from hinged or sliding, manual or power-operated ... all doors are constructed with heavy-duty steel.

Processing Rooms:In the design of pro-cessing rooms, care must be taken to achieve the proper temperature and humidity to maintain your product for the period of time that it remains in this area. However, an additional criteria is

added when you must take into consideration that people, as well as product, must spend an extended length of time in these work rooms. At Polar Star Refrigeration we have the ex-perience and knowledge to blend the requirements of your employees and your product in order to achieve a design

which will provide an effective and comfortable processing operation.

Blast Freezer During the process of freezing,

most products will lose a percent-age of their original moisture con-tent. The faster a product can be frozen, the more you can minimize the dehydration that takes place. Reducing the amount of moisture

lost not only helps to maintain the original freshness of a product but also lessens the weight loss which occurs during freezing. When products are sold by the pound this has a di-rect impact on your profit margins. In a blast freezer, as illustrated above the type and volume of product to be frozen is the key to determining the proper equipment nec-essary to freeze the product quickly. Equally important is the positioning of the evaporators and plenum within the room to maximize air movement over the product. At very low temperatures required in a blast freezer, heat infiltration must be kept at a low level in order to minimize ice build up. Therefore, Polar Star Refrigeration has developed a heavy duty overlapped door to provide the tightest possible seal. All of these considerations are combined to provide the most cost effective solution possible for your blast freezing appli-

cations.

Convenience Store Display and Storage Coolers and Freezers:

In a convenience store it is important to create an attractive product display area that will encourage your customers to buy.However, it is equally critical to select the correct refrig-

eration systems in order to maintain products at the proper temperature at all times. If your customer has selected a “cold” drink, then it is important to the long-term success of your store that the drinks are, in fact, cold! With a wide variety of op-tions in display glass doors and the abil-ity to custom-ize the size of your storage area to fit the space avail-able, Polar Star Refrigeration Equipment can design an efficient cold storage room as well as a display that will enhance the overall appearance of your store.

Floral Storage and Display Coolers:

Critical to the successful storage and display of flowers is creating the proper environment to assure their freshness for the longest possible time. It is essential to maintain the proper temperature and humidity as well as the appropriate airflow or flowers may dry out and loose their merchantabil-ity. This could result in a major loss for your business. At Polar Star Refrigeration Equipment we can provide the proper refrigeration equipment in a walk-in sized to fit your require-ments for storage or display. Add our custom design ability and a wide variety of options in display windows to your per-sonal input and your floral displays will command the atten-tion of anyone passing by.

“Our Walk-ins are assembled with modular panel selection of 3, 4 and 6 polystyrene or urethane solid core foam insulation with no wood framing. Panel selection precision formed to assure panel uniformity and easy of installation. Walk-ins can be easily disassembled, relocated or enlarged.”

Polar Star Industries is in the unique position of being able to offer you a variety of panel construc-tion options. In all cases, the metal panel facings are lami-nated under pressure to rigid insulation with an elastic adhe-sive. This ensures a strong and permanent bond while allowing for expansion and contraction with variations in internal and external temperatures. When compared to a “foam-in-place” type of construction, this manu-facturing process allows us to offer the most flexibility in panel sizes and insulation (types and thicknesses); assuring you of the most cost-effective solution for each of your refrigerated rooms. It also eliminates the possibility of areas in your panels “void” of insulation which may occur in a “foam-in-place” panel. Polar Star’s ten-year panel warranty is evidence enough of our confi-dence in the strength and dura-bility of the construction of our

panels. Your satisfaction will be testament to the flexibility that we offer.PANELS WITH CAM-ACTION FASTENERS:

Panels manufactured using cam-action fasteners provide for a fast and easy installation with provisions for future expansion or relo-cation of your refrigerated room. These panels are available in a maximum width of 47”, with insulation thicknesses of 3”, 4” or 6”, and a maximum length of 22 feet. Through the locking action of the

Panels Construction fastener, the panels are drawn firmly together forming a positive, airtight seal. These fasteners are made with a tongue and groove construction, which aids in the easy and accurate alignment of the panels during installation.In order to complete the airtight seal between panels there are two options available. Polar Star offers a factory applied NSF approved gasket, which makes your installation quick and easy. As the panels are drawn together using the cam-action fastener the gasket is com-pressed assuring the seams are sealed. As an alternative, at the time of installation caulking can be applied on the insulation between the panels with a finishing bead of silicone on the seams after the room is assembled. The caulking and silicone are supplied by Polar Star with your walk-in to assure that the products you are using are of the best quality and suited for a refrigerated application. Polar Star offers walk-in coolers and freezers that have been certified by NSF and meet their strict regulations as required in NSF/ANSI standard #7 for food equipment.

“SNAP & SEAL” PANELS:

Using a patented locking system developed by Polar Star Indus-tries, we can offer a highly cost-effective alternative to the standard insulated panels using cam-locks. These panels are available in a maximum width of 45”, with insulation of virtually any thickness and a maxi-mum length of 22 feet. To allow for easy and accurate alignment these panels are made with a tongue and groove construction. Along the edge of each panel the metal is designed to lock the

panels securely in place simply by pressing the edges of two panels together allowing the metal edge to compress and then snap back. During the installation caulking and silicone (supplied by Polar Star)

are applied in the seams to provide an airtight seal.These “Snap & Seal” panels are unique in their design because they were developed specifically to meet the needs of refrigeration ap-plications. They are easy to install, snap securely together providing a truly airtight seal and may be taken down and re-installed without causing damage to the panels.

Series “AcKVATEK Invisible Joint”TM micro-ribbed or smooth.

The “AcKVATEK Invisible Joint”TM line has the added feature of the “AcKVATEK Joint”TM (extension of the lip on the female side over the male side) to create a correct sanitary finish. The excellent ther-mal seal as well as the construction of the joint is guaranteed by a

special .orporated polyurethane gasket. The “Invisible Joint” line is available in either micro-ribbed or smooth version. On thicknesses in excess of 4’’ a double fitting is provided.

Self-Contained Top-Mount Plug System We offer a series of “self-contained” refrigeration systems. With these systems the condensing unit and evaporator are combined in a single unit. The evaporator portion sits flush with the ceiling of the walk-in allow-ing for maximum use of the refrigerated space. The systems are fully assembled, charged with refrigerant and completely tested by the manufacturer. Many models come complete with a 26” power cord and 3-prong plug. All systems come with a condensate evaporation pan, which eliminates the need for a drain line. An opening is made in a ceiling panel of your walk-in before it is shipped to easily accom-modate the system. So upon arriving at the installation site, the system is simply dropped into the prepared open-ing. This allows for a very fast start up time. These units are shipped as part of a walk-in or may be shipped separately to incorporate into insulated rooms being built at the installation site with alternative construction methods. In either case, the installation is made fast and easy.

The Pro 3 system comes ready to mount on top of the cooler or freezer and requires minimal space. The evapo-rator portion of sits flush in the ceiling allowing for maximum use of refriger-

ated space inside the box.
