Maintaining an optimal temperature in your school’s walk-in cooler, walk-in freezer or refrigerated trailer is critical to keep food products fresh and safe.

Some of the most important pieces of equipment in your K-12 kitchen are your walk-in cooler and/or freezer. Because they keep your food products safe and fresh for consumption, it’s important to ensure that you choose a walk in manufacturer you can count on for compliance, reliability, energy efficiency, easy cleaning, and precise temperature control.
