Since walk-ins are larger than other refrigerated equipment with unique features, they require more installation space. Besides typical factory-assembled units, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chefsdeal.com\/b\/amerikooler\">AmeriKooler LLC<\/a> builds field-installed models tailored to operators&#8217; specific size and style needs. The company manufactures its own panels, doors, and floors to respond to distinct demands. Here is a brief description of the products and systems the brand delivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walk-In_Coolers_Freezers\"><\/span>Walk-In Coolers &amp; Freezers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AmeriKooler Inc.<\/strong> provides the most energy-efficient, durable, and sophisticated walk-in refrigeration systems. Amerikooler walk-in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chefsdeal.com\/c\/walk-in-coolers?manufacturer=amerikooler\"> coolers<\/a> and freezers are available in various sizes, from 6&#8217;x6&#8242; to more custom sizes. All the models have modular design and construction, allowing easy and quick field assembly and enlargement by adding panels of 47 and 23 inches in width. The units can be installed indoors or outdoors with or without a floor. The floor heights can be customized in 1-inch increments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"dfe3e8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #dfe3e8;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-jpg.webp\" alt=\"AmeriKooler QC101277F 10x12 Inch Quick Ship Indoor Walk-In Cooler with Floor - Amerikooler LLC - Chef's Deal\" class=\"wp-image-4636 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-jpg.webp 570w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-310x310.webp 310w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-205x205.webp 205w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-510x510.webp 510w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-400x400.webp 400w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-50x50.webp 50w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-60x60.webp 60w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AmeriKooler-QC101277F-10x12-Inch-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-In-Cooler-with-Floor-96x96.webp 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AmeriKooler QC101277F 10&#215;12 Inch Quick Ship Indoor Walk-In Cooler with Floor <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AmeriKooler LLC procures its self-contained and remote condensers from Heatcraft Worldwide BOHN refrigeration. The air-cooled system uses innovative microchannel coil technology, saving on refrigerant, energy, and operational costs. 36 x 76-inch swing doors with two adjustable spring-loaded hinges, a locking handle, and a magnetic gasket seal the walk-in cabinets. An LED light fixture and digital thermometer are on the door frame. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chefsdeal.com\/c\/walk-in-coolers?manufacturer=amerikooler\">Amerikooler walk-in freezer<\/a> doors have a heater cable for better sealing and heat retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides size and floor variations, optional features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stucco-embossed white or black galvanized or stainless steel finishes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An additional spring-assisted door hinge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strip curtain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interior and exterior ramps to facilitate product loading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insulated viewing windows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital audio\/visual alarm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Convenience_Store_Coolers\"><\/span>Convenience Store Coolers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Convenience stores offer maximum benefits to people on the go, keeping everyday foods and beverages cool. Therefore, constructing walk-in freezers and coolers for convenience stores greatly matters to AmeriKooler LLC. The company maintains maximum cooling performance standards on all the units but offers greater customization in style, size, and finish options. The indoor glass door walk-ins are designed to enhance the merchandising effect and attract more customers. Pass-thru door models supply a double-sided entrance and improve product visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick_Ship_Coolers_Freezers\"><\/span>Quick Ship Coolers &amp; Freezers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different businesses benefit from AmeriKooler&#8217;s deluxe walk-ins. However, operators who need a more convenient and affordable alternative always turn to the brand&#8217;s New AK Series 3 quick ship walk-in&nbsp;freezers,&nbsp;coolers, and&nbsp;boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These units are similar in design flexibility, door style, and panel construction to the custom-built walk-ins. For instance, they also come with floor and floorless options or remote and self-contained refrigeration systems. So, they are the same in terms of efficiency and excellence. Only the sizes are pre-specified, and a stucco-embossed acrylume finish is standard on the interior and exterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walk-in_Doors\"><\/span>Walk-in Doors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doors play a critical part in all the coolers and freezers. They must seal the cabinet firmly to retain internal temperatures and increase energy efficiency. Plus, they must be strong enough to withstand heavy use as they are continuously open and closed. AmeriKooler&#8217;s standard flush doors are made in-house for increased refrigeration performance. The brand also mounts different doors manufactured by recognized industry leaders to give customers greater flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Glass door with shelf and lights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retrofit door and frame systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Double-action traffic doors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walk-in_Floors\"><\/span>Walk-in Floors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floors, like refrigeration doors, must withstand heavy use over the years. A busy commercial kitchen needs walk-ins for bulk storage of perishables. Loaded hand trucks, dunnage racks, or carts often go in and out of these units. Therefore, floors should have sufficient durability to support heavy loads. Besides, excess meltwater may accumulate on floors, so they must be corrosion-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AmeriKooler LLC delivers four structurally robust floor alternatives with various PSF (pounds per square foot) ratings, which specify the maximum weight load. You can choose your floor considering practicality, business type, traffic volume, and floor plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Standard Floor:<\/strong>&nbsp;This 600-PSF floor panel with a smooth aluminum finish is standard on smaller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chefsdeal.com\/c\/walk-in-box-only?manufacturer=amerikooler\">Amerikooler walk-in boxes<\/a>. It is ideal for everyday foot traffic applications. Other finish alternatives are smooth and textured stainless steel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Underpayment Reinforced Floor:<\/strong>&nbsp;AmeriKooler markets it as the customer-preferred model. It comes with a 1200 PSF rating to withstand loaded food transport carts. The maximum weight capacity increases to 1300 PSF with smooth stainless steel and 1500 PSF with textured stainless steel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Underpayment Reinforced Floor With Overlay:<\/strong>&nbsp;An aluminum diamond plate overlay further strengthens this floor panel. Rated at 1700 to 1800 PSF, it is perfect for heavy-duty operations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Ultimate Floor:<\/strong>&nbsp;The 22-gauge textured stainless steel finish maintains a 2600 PSF rating. You can pick this floor if you need to use hand pallet jacks in your food transport processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PureKooler%E2%84%A2\"><\/span>PureKooler\u2122<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk-ins are fully insulated and sealed enclosed boxes that trap cold air inside and hot air outside. The trapped air becomes stagnant over time and may cause foul odors and food spoilage. AmeriKooler uses ActivTek&#8217;s innovative PureKooler technology to prevent such issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ActivePure technology, developed in coordination with NASA, inactivates mold, fungus, bacteria, and viruses accumulated in the air and on surfaces. The independent laboratory tests showed a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gbdmagazine.com\/indoor-air-quality-in-retrofits\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">99.99 %\u00a0pollutant kill rate<\/a>. Other benefits of the system include the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always fresh air, free of contaminants and unpleasant odors, inside the walk-in cabinet\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air purification without using any chemicals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extended product shelf life, especially for fresh produce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy and quick wall-mount installation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low maintenance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Reliable_Walk-Ins_By_AmeriKooler_LLC\"><\/span>2. Reliable Walk-Ins By AmeriKooler LLC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cold storage chain is the most crucial aspect of the commercial kitchen operation. Even the slightest mistake, delay, or neglect can cause irreversible consequences. That&#8217;s why strict codes regulate the process. Refrigeration equipment allows you to store food and beverages without bacterial contamination. Faulty refrigerators can close down your business due to dollars of food waste costs or hefty fines. Therefore, reliability is the utmost criterion in cold storage units. AmeriKooler LLC is renowned for developing the most reliable walk-in coolers and freezers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reliable refrigeration performance is more than a word. AmeriKooler bases its bar-setting quality on robust panel construction and insulation. The 4-inch modular wall, floor, and ceiling panels are constructed from top-quality raw materials and assembled through state-of-the-art robotic processes. This automatic assembly line ensures a precise fit and longer life. The time-tested cam-action locking system and NSF-approved compression gaskets additionally support the assembly in forming airtight joints. The panel interiors and exteriors are laminated with 26-gauge Acrylume-coated steel finished with stucco-embossed coating and corrosion-resistant acrylic paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Another construction strength that sets AmeriKooler LLC apart is its walk-ins&#8217; insulation performance characteristics<\/strong>. Many manufacturers still use foamed-in-place polyurethane panel insulation. However, many customers have reported issues with polyurethane insulation, including failure to limit the heat flow into the system, minimize surface condensation, and maintain a consistent thermal barrier. AmeriKooler pioneered using extruded polystyrene (XPS) in refrigeration equipment insulation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d4d7dc\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d4d7dc;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-jpg.webp\" alt=\"Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick Ship Indoor Walk in Cooler Without Floor Self Contained - Amerikooler LLC - Chef's Deal\" class=\"wp-image-4688 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-jpg.webp 570w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-310x310.webp 310w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-205x205.webp 205w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-510x510.webp 510w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-400x400.webp 400w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-50x50.webp 50w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-60x60.webp 60w, https:\/\/media.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick-Ship-Indoor-Walk-in-Cooler-Without-Floor-Self-Contained-Amerikooler-LLC-Chefs-Deal-96x96.webp 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amerikooler-QC081072-NBSC-8-x-10-Quick Ship Indoor Walk-in Cooler Without Floor Self-Contained &#8211; One of the Products of Chef&#8217;s Deal Top-10 Sold out in 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Insulation materials&#8217; thermal performance is measured by the ability to prevent heat loss, specified as an R-value.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.govinfo.gov\/content\/pkg\/PLAW-110publ140\/pdf\/PLAW-110publ140.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Energy Independence &amp; Security Act of 2007<\/a>\u00a0mandates that walk-ins manufactured as of 2009 &#8220;contain wall, ceiling, and door insulation of at least R-25 for coolers and R-32 for freezers.&#8221; AmeriKooler&#8217;s AK-XPS4 rigid foam exceeds these R-values, with R-29 for coolers and R-32.4 for freezers. Long-life extruded XPS foam has consistently proved to have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chefsdeal.com\/blog\/r-value-and-its-importance\">a higher R-value <\/a>than polyurethane at lower mean temperatures.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A final dimension of reliability is the warranty period. AmeriKooler LLC prides itself on offering the best warranties in the industry. The brand backs up its walk-ins with a 15-year original panel warranty on walls &amp; ceilings, 5 years on doors &amp; floors, and a 1-year original Amerikooler parts warranty. Plus, the AK-XPS4 rigid foam extruded by The Dow Chemical Company has a void-free closed-cell structure, meaning it can retain the highest possible R values over time. That&#8217;s how the company can stand behind its rigid insulation with a 50-year thermal warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_AmeriKoolers_History_Gian_Carlo_%E2%80%9CMr_Manufacturing%E2%80%9D_Alonso\"><\/span>3. AmeriKooler&#8217;s History &amp; Gian Carlo &#8220;Mr. Manufacturing&#8221; Alonso<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, <strong>AmeriKooler LLC<\/strong> owns a reputable place in the market with so many top-of-the-line walk-in coolers and freezers, each tailored to the unique needs of different businesses. It is fair to say that this family-run enterprise represents a success story. The story was not written overnight, of course. The Alonso family wove it into the fastest-growing company, knot by knot. Renato M. Alonso made the first base when he started working in his father&#8217;s steel fabricating company in 1975.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After getting deeper into steel fabrication, Mr. Alonso took his first entrepreneurial step. He established the &#8220;Metal Equipment of Florida&#8221; company, focusing on stainless steel commercial kitchen equipment. AmeriKooler was born from this initial enterprise in 1985 in a small office with only two employees. 1997 marks a significant leap in the family&#8217;s history by moving the company to a new 80,000-square-foot manufacturing facility equipped with an automatic robotic router system. Thus, it started to have a say in the industry with its walk-in refrigeration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AmeriKooler LLC was still a small player when Gian Carlo Alonso took over his father&#8217;s 60-employee business. As the young Gian watched his father grow the company into an iconic brand, he was dying for an opportunity to make his mark on it. Gian had this chance as the Senior Vice President of Sales and accelerated the growth. He made a bigger impact after becoming the President &amp; CEO in 2014.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gian Carlo brought AmeriKooler to the edge of innovation, setting the tone in walk-in refrigeration systems. The young Gian&#8217;s hunger to mark his imprint on the sector enabled him to reinvent walk-in box design and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He sharpened his ability to think out of the box during his studies in Harvard University&#8217;s owner\/president management program. His manufacturing strategies forged AmeriKooler into a 300-employee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridatrend.com\/article\/32683\/ceo-of-amerikooler-takes-aim-at-goliath\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">company making over\u00a0$100\u00a0million in annual revenue<\/a>. Once he grew the business fivefold, hitting record sales for eight consecutive years, he earned the title &#8220;Mr. Manufacturing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gian Carlo, &#8220;Mr. Manufacturing,&#8221; Alonso&#8217;s passionate character and dynamic approach to business carried AmeriKooler LLC to a different level. His recipe for success is creating a balance in the factory. Mr. Manufacturing believes that overall production will increase when every department has an equal capacity. With a never-ending passion and an adventurous spirit, he is motivated to bring AmeriKooler the Guinness World Record as the fastest firm to build a top-class walk-in box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Truly_American\"><\/span>4. Truly American<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increasing operational costs have forced many walk-in manufacturers offshore, while AmeriKooler LLC remained home. Thus, the company could apply American-level rigid standards in all its production and assembly lines. The 200,000-square-foot facility increased capacity by 50% in 2009 after adding the most advanced and fully automatic production machinery. The plant can now churn out 400 walk-in cooler and freezer packages ranging from 6&#8242; to 12&#8242; in width and 6&#8242; to 20&#8242; in length.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Collaboration_With_Foodservice_And_Hospitality_Leaders\"><\/span>5.
