Refrigerated
Warehouses: A Complete Solution
|
|
|
|
Providing
assistance at every stage of construction of
your refrigerated warehouse
|
|
Coordinating
all the construction details for refrigerated warehouses
can be challenging, particularly if you are using multiple
sources for panels, refrigeration and installation.
Master-Bilt
offers the convenience to make the
job much easier. Our package includes
panels, refrigeration systems and installation, if
required. Experienced sales and design team members
will work with you to determine your needs at each stage
of construction. From the first steel beam to the last
insulated panel, Master-Bilt will ensure your specifications
are met. Should future modifications or expansions be
necessary, count on us to help.

That Pass the Performance Test |
 |
Construction
Makes The Difference
Master-Bilt panels are 4 inches thick with optional
5 inch and 6 inch thicknesses. The standard wall
and roof panel finish is 26-gauge stucco galvalume
with many finish options available. The floor
finish, when required, is .080 textured aluminum.
Cam-Lock System
The Master-Bilt cam-locking system coupled with
sealing gaskets provides a sure, tight fit between
panels. The lock requires only a 5/16" hex wrench
or socket to operate. As the lock is engaged a
gradual seal and panel alignment occurs. This
provides a more accurate seal between the panels.
Should the walk-in need relocation the cam-lock
process is easy to reverse. Panels can be taken
apart as easily as they are put together |
Foamed-In-Place
Insulation
Foamed-in-place insulation is achieved through
precision tooled molds. Each panel is steel-mold
supported across the entire surface during the
foaming process. High-pressure urethane foam is
injected into the interior cavity and expansion
curing ensures there is consistent density and
no uninsulated areas within the panel. With this
urethane foam process, Master-Bilt provides the
highest R-value rating in the industry. The panels
also form a sure seal with their tongue and groove
design and dual gasket system.
Master-Bilt’s foam contains a 245fa blowing agent with a zero ozone depletion potential. This agent is not only more environmentally friendly, it also enhances performance. It provides more consistent foam with fewer voids, boosts insulation performance (higher R-value) and increases foam adhesion to panels.

Compared
with other types of panel construction, Master-Bilt's
foamed-in-place polyurethane method is clearly more
efficient.

Raising the
Standard in Floors |
 |
We’ve gone the extra
mile to make sure your floor is both safe enough and
strong enough for everyday usage.
To begin with, all
floors are standard with a .080 textured aluminum
surface. The added traction provided by the raised
surface pattern reduces the potential of slip-and-fall
accidents, even in wet conditions.
Because the surface
pattern is designed to be easily cleaned, it fully meets
NSF guidelines. Corners in floor panels are also coved
to avoid trapping contaminants.
Standard floors
support 700 pounds per square foot (evenly distributed
stationary load). Reinforced floors can be provided in
case of frequent traffic from heavy handcarts, dollies
or forklifts.
Customize your floor with our
large range of options. Interior and exterior ramps
(provided with non-skid safety strips), floor mats and a
range of finishes are just a few of many possibilities.

Structural Floor
Option |
|
Master-Bilt's
structural floor is designed to withstand a pallet jack
or equivalent transporter with an evenly distributed
load of up to 5000 pounds over all four wheels. It
also allows for maximum
weight storage on internal shelving. At the same
time, it saves labor by allowing carts or lifts to be
driven directly into the walk-in and unloaded.

a Doorway into Cost Effectiveness |
|
The Most Critical Component
Perhaps no other part of a walk-in plays
a bigger role in its overall success than its door.
The door must be built to withstand the numerous openings
and closings of a typical business day without losing
structural integrity. It also has to form a solid barricade
between your perishable items inside and warmer temperatures
outside. Master-Bilt doors have a proven record of reliability
in these areas.
|
Strong, Innovative Construction
Master-Bilt’s standard V-Series entry doors are infitting and flush-mounted with a standard size of 36" x 78". V-Series doors contain two cam-lift hinges which are spring-loaded for an easier, more positive closure

Ready-Bilt
Walk-ins |

Ready-Bilt models are
typically delivered
on a gooseneck truck.

Ready-Bilts are set
in place using a crane, boom-lift or forklift depending on
the job situation.
|
Ready-Bilt walk-ins are
completely pre-assembled at the factory and ready to set
in place at the job site. Structures arrive at the site
typically on a gooseneck truck and, depending on size and
customer preference, lifted into place by crane, boom-lift
or forklift. No field installation is necessary. The
refrigeration system(s) is already installed and the
entire walk-in is fully tested before shipping. All you
have to do is provide electricity for the single source
hook-up (one per refrigeration system). Each Ready-Bilt
walk-in is UL-listed as an entire package, not just for
individual components, facilitating electrical
inspections.

Strength
Tested
Our walk-ins meet high criteria for strength
and durability. Master-Bilt doors are both UL and C-UL listed.
Our steel panels are Factory Mutual approved and our aluminum
panels are Factory Mutual specification tested. In addition,
Master-Bilt is one of only a handful of manufacturers to meet
Florida's Metro-Dade County approval for exterior walk-ins.
This stringent code is considered to be the toughest in the
nation. These and many other listings, certifications and
classifications prove that our walk-ins pass the test for
quality, durability and safety.
