Restaurants, schools, hotels, and other venues with foodservice businesses depend on reliable, efficient refrigeration. It's a must to keep food safe for customers and help extend the shelf life of ingredients. The easiest way to do this is to rely on products built by Thermo-Kool.
Why Thermo-Kool? We'll get into the benefits below, but for the team at Heartland, the Thermo-Kool represented a logical addition to our collection of other leading foodservice equipment brands. When the opportunity to bring Thermo-Kool onboard presented itself, we jumped at the opportunity to round out our portfolio of top-end solutions for chefs and foodservice operators throughout the Heartland.

Advanced Blast Chillers and Shock Freezers
Thermo-Kool goes beyond the walk-in Imagine producing a large pot of a restaurant's trademark soup and needing to cool it down. What's the best way to do it while keeping the soup out of the food danger zone? With a Thermo-Kool blast chiller or shock freezer.
These solutions quickly lower the temperature of foods, moving them to ideal storage conditions quicker and safer than traditional methods. By blasting extremely cold air over a food product, the cellular structure is better preserved, ultimately preserving the flavors and aromas of the food.
There is a difference between blast chilling and shock freezing. Blast chillers are intended for prepping and par-cooking, while shock freezing is best for bulk purchases that need storage for several months. In addition to keeping food safe, blast chillers and shock freezers save foodservice businesses money by giving operators the ability to purchase in bulk, buy seasonal items to use for later, prep in advance for large holidays or events, and free up labor for other tasks while the chiller or freezer takes over.
Customized Walk-In Coolers and Freezers and Quick Lead Times
There's no one-size-fits-all solution for commercial kitchens. That's why Thermo-Kool makes customizable walk-in coolers and freezers. Every commercial kitchen is a little different. Restaurants might have more space for a walk-in than a school cafeteria. With the ability to customize a walk-in cooler to fit any given space -- and do it down to the square inch -- Thermo-Kool provides unrivaled versatility inside an operation.
Another key to success is getting operations up and running quickly, and Thermo-Kool offers specific coolers and freezers with a four-week lead time. It's one thing to get a customized solution to fit the operation. It's another to get that solution quicker than one might with another manufacturer.
