Delivering Temporary Cooling Support for Premier Foods
Here at Penmann, we are pleased to have completed a temporary cooling project for Premier Foods at their Ashford facility, providing reliable support across both the Line T production area and the Soups process line.
The project required a practical and well-structured solution to maintain stable temperatures across two separate areas of the site, each with different operational demands. Maintaining consistent cooling was essential to support production, protect product quality and ensure that processes continued without disruption.
Working closely with the site team, we delivered a complete temporary cooling package combining high-capacity air conditioning and dedicated process cooling. For the Line T area, we installed a central air-cooled chiller supported by multiple fan coil units, allowing cooling to be distributed evenly across the production space. This approach ensured that airflow reached all key areas, helping to prevent localised heat build-up and maintain consistent working conditions.
Alongside this, we supplied a separate chiller system for the Soups line, providing targeted cooling to support process requirements. By separating the two systems, we ensured that each area could operate independently, maintaining the required conditions without affecting performance elsewhere on site.
All equipment was delivered to site in a coordinated programme, allowing installation to be completed efficiently and within the required timeframe. Our engineers managed the full installation, including positioning, connection and commissioning, ensuring both systems were fully operational with minimal impact on ongoing production.
Throughout the hire period, the systems performed reliably, maintaining stable temperatures across both areas of the facility. The combination of distributed air conditioning and dedicated process cooling proved effective, supporting production continuity and providing a controlled environment during the project.
This project highlights the value of temporary cooling solutions within food manufacturing environments, particularly where flexibility and speed of deployment are required. By delivering a tailored solution that addressed the specific needs of each area, we were able to support Premier Foods in maintaining performance during a critical period.
If your facility requires temporary cooling, air conditioning or chiller hire, our team is ready to support you with a solution that works for your operation.
