RAC Kettering are specialists in design and construction of Coldrooms and Coldstores, in fact any area requiring temperature controlled foodsafe insulated panels and doors normally associated with food, pharmaceutical and other hygiene related industries.
Our technical advice and wealth of experience will ensure the most efficient and cost effective insulation cores suitable for your project.

Made-to-measure Cold Rooms

Cold and freezer rooms for all purposes

RAC Kettering designs and supplies individual cold and freezer rooms for all sectors. These include the food industry, retailers and wholesalers, hotels and restaurants, ships, research institutes, health services and mortuaries. We welcome the challenge from new sectors!

Our refrigerator and freezer rooms are turnkey deliveries that are built according to the requirements of each site and customer. The dimensions are determined for each case separately and so is the standard of the fittings. The delivery includes the floor, wall and ceiling panels and the doors, which can be chosen from our wide selection. Pressure balancing valves are included for freezer rooms. The delivery can also include the refrigeration equipment and other accessories. These include shelves, cold air curtain, windows, door curtain fan, and a whole range of accessories that make it easier to use the room and monitor the temperature. Ask our sales people for more details.

A practical design depends on its components

Erecting the cold store is easy, since all necessary fittings come with the delivery, along with clear instructions. But if you wish to make sure that erection is as fast and troublefree as possible, we will carry it out for you, or we will supervise the work.

A RAC Kettering cold room is a simple and safe choice, since all the components come from the same supplier. The dimensions can be freely chosen; they are specified separately for each customer, to the nearest 150 mm. With their modular structure and quick action locks, the cold stores are easy to alter and expand. Foodsafe facing materials and the well designed structure help to make the rooms hygienic. The CFC and HCFC free polyurethane insulation is environmentally friendly and cuts energy costs.

Suitable materials for different uses

The insulating material is rigid polyurethane which is foamed in a mould. It is free of CFCs and HCFCs and has a density of 40 kg/m3. The standard facing for the panels is 0.6 mm galvanized steel sheet, coated with white (RAL 9010) foodsafe polyester. The facing can also have a PVF2 coating or can be of stainless steel, but these need to be specified separately. For special orders thicker sheet can be used, up to 1.0 mm.

Huurre Panels represent a flexible method of construction. Huurre Panels may be installed either horizontally or vertically. The structural frame may be on either the inside or the outside. In interiors, a separate structural frame is not usually needed.

From computer aided design to construction using only fully trained installation teams, Insulated Modular Structures can guarantee quality control and compete customer satisfaction.

RAC Kettering will advise and select the right insulation core to meet your requirements. Whether you looking for a small coldroom for a fast food kitchen to a multi-room food processing or distribution depot, where mixing insulation cores to meet the criteria and requirements of each room or area is often required.

Cold rooms present special problems. Whilst the atmosphere in a cold room is frequently very dry, condensation can occur on equipment when it is removed from the room. Permanent wiring within cold rooms should be waterproof and power sockets safeguarded by Residual Current Devices. If the cold room is to be used as a laboratory, it is usually not possible to ensure that only waterproof equipment is used. However, great care needs to be taken not to use equipment removed from the cold room until it has time to warm up and dry out, which can take several hours. Where possible, equipment should be low voltage.

Experience has shown that early involvement at the design stage can help clarify required details and specification prior to tender stage, so providing more accurate tender information.

Using the latest Auto CAD technologies, we are able to plan our projects using the technical drawings for the building we are working on. Having this information, we are able to produce all materials with minimal disruption to our clients.

This also allows for us to identify points in any structure where we feel more increased safety procedures should be carried out, and where fire-safe materials should be used.

Composite insulated panelling provides a cost effective, quickly erected alternative to traditional building methods, particularly in areas where a hygienic and/or chilled atmosphere is required.

In the projects we undertake we use all new fibre insulation materials which are manufactured to the latest industry standards. All materials used are safety approved.

We offer many different types of insulation, a full spec can be obtained by using the contact form on the site.

All our doors are manufactured to the highest industry standards. As part of our ever expanding company we now manufacture some doors at out factory in Coatbridge. These are then distributed to our clients and installed by our skilled personnel who are committed to delivering the highest standard possible. Our doors are manufactured to the highest fire safety regulations, essential to the industry we supply to.

Hygienic and foodsafe wall cladding provides excellent finishes in areas which are not subject to tight temperature controls or temperature changes eg: Processing Areas, Abattoirs, Kitchens, Toilets, Changing Rooms, Clean Rooms, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Hotels. Thermoformed corners not only remove sharp edges but can also provide an aesthetically pleasing rounded finish.

All our flashings are made from top grade sheet metal. These include : white antistatic foodsafe stelvetite with a strippable film, HP200 colourcoat, aluminium tread plate and stainless steel and many more. Our flashings are one of the final steps in any given project, finishing a building with a clean, presentable image.

Panel To Panel Joint
The panels have male / female interlocking metal facings to provide a secure and consistent joint detail.

The Insulation
Mineral fibre is manufactured from molten diabase volcanic rock, spun into fibres and bound using heat cured phenol formaldehyde resin (generally less than 5%). The fibres are treated with a small quantity of refined mineral oil (generally less than 5%), which acts as a dust suppressant. Mineral fibre is inert under normal applications. The core has a nominal density of 100kg/m3 and an insulation value of 0.038W/mok

Water Resistance
Mineral fibre repels liquid water due to the presence of water repellent additives. Moisture condensing from the air within the core material is less than 0.002% by volume at 95% relative humidity.

Biological
Completely vermin and rot proof and does not encourage the growth of fungi, mould or bacteria. It is suitable for use (with suitable facings) in hygienic areas.

Environment
No CFC's or HCFC's are used in the manufacture of the base material.

Bonding
Panels are bonded using a fast curing one component polyurethane adhesive which is moisture cured to a hard, tough, non toxic layer resistant to chemicals and heat. During the bonding process a slight foaming occurs, this gives better penetration into the porous materials and better filling between uneven surfaces, increasing panel strength and minimising the possibility of un-bonded areas.

Panel Facings
Panels can be manufactured with a number of facings including white PVC laminate (foodsafe), polyester, grey primer and stainless steel. Exterior finishes include HP200 plastisol and PVF2. The thickness of the coloured facings are generally 0.55mm with the grey primer being 0.50mm.
