What to Look For in a Commercial Beverage Cooler
Are you in search of a commercial beverage cooler? If so, there are some key points to look for before making your purchase. The following article will go on to highlight these key points in an effort to make sure you make the right purchase.
A commercial beverage cooler is a large investment, and a purchase that should be made after a great deal of research. After all, you don’t want to regret your purchase a few months down the road and be stuck with an expensive unit that doesn’t fit your desired needs. With that being said, the first thing to look for when purchasing a commercial beverage cooler is the company you’re buying from. It is always best to deal directly with the manufacturer of your commercial beverage cooler. The manufacturer knows the most about their product and will be able to answer your specific questions that relate to your specific needs. Many companies out there advertise like they’re an actual manufacturer, but many in fact, are not. Be sure to find out if you’re dealing directly with the manufacturer when you’re buying your next commercial beverage cooler, or any walk in cooler or freezer.
Next, make sure to find out what type of insulation is being used and how the commercial beverage cooler is constructed. Look for polyurethane insulation instead of polystyrene. Polyurethane offers a superior R-value while also being more durable when compared to polystyrene. Also look for wood frame construction. Wood frame construction makes the commercial beverage cooler extremely sturdy, and far more likely to stand up to daily abuse than an “all foam” box. Also, when you purchase a wood framed commercial beverage cooler, you have the peace of mind of knowing that your cam locks are mounted into wood and not “anchored” into foam, which can cause your cam locks to pull loose.
Last but not least, be aware of what you’re getting. Many cooler and freezer companies out there aren’t specific on their quotes and don’t let you know what your unit will consist of when it comes to hardware and refrigeration equipment. Be sure to find out what brand of refrigeration equipment you’re being quoted, what size it is, and whether or not this will be sufficient for your product load. Many companies do not ask what your product load is, and simply quote you a refrigeration system based on your box size, which is only part of the equation.
