Combat Gases and Bacteria

As produce and other food items natural degrade they begin to give of Ethylene, Pectin and other gases.  Though naturally occurring, in an enclosed area like your cooler these gases build to a concentration that actually accelerates the decomposition of your foodstuffs.  FiltaCool filters trap these gases, preventing the early onset of decay that destroys your valuable products.  These filters have also been shown to dramatically inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria, as well as reducing oxidation in your coolers.

Regulating Humidity

Humidity is another real concern in commercial coolers.  Too little and  your fruits and vegetables become dry and shrunken, too much and your produce begins to rot more quickly.  Furthermore, excess moisture freezes on cooling coils, causing them to work less effectively.  Moisture pooling on the floor creates hazardous conditions for your staff and gives bacteria a place to breed rampantly.  FiltaCool can help regulate the humidity in your walk in coolers, providing just the right amount of moisture in the air to keep your produce crisp, fresh and ready for use.

Stabilizing Temperatures

If your coolers aren’t running efficiently, they may not be doing an adequate job in keeping temperatures stabile.  The optimal temperature for most perishable goods is between 35 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit.  Temperatures above that range allow bacteria to breed freely.  Temperatures below can result in freezing and damage to your produce.  FiltaCool has been shown to reduce overall temperatures by 2 to 5 degrees and improve the performance of your coolers so that they can maintain the optimal temperature range more easily.

Eliminating Odors

Unpleasant odors can easily build in an enclosed space like your walk-in cooler.  Even worse, many vegetables can actually absorb odors, making them less palatable.  Excessive odor can also create an unpleasant work experience for your staff and suppliers.  FiltaCool filters reduce odors, leaving your coolers smelling fresh.

Lowering Costs
When your equipment’s wear, tear and energy use is lessened and the inhospitable climate in your coolers has been eliminated you can expect another drastic reduction:  a reduction in spending.  FiltaCool filters will help to eliminate 10% of the energy usage of your coolers and keep your cooling systems operational 33%-44% beyond their expected lifetime.  You will see at least a 2% deduction in the amount of spoiled produce you have to discard.  In many cases that percentage is significantly higher.  All this adds up to big savings for your business when you choose to use FiltaCool.
