We are pleased that Azure’s and Kidron’s unique hybrid refrigeration product is being recognized as a leading technology and demonstrates the diverse opportunities for our clean, efficient system in the produce application. We look forward to additional market penetration as this new technology continues to gain widespread acceptance, stated Scott Harrison, Azure’s chief executive officer.
The LEEP freeze system draws energy in an efficient manner from vehicle’s primary engine during the normal driving and supplies it to the UltraTemp cold plate technology system, which enables the cold plates to stay cold for the duration of typical multi stop delivery route. The system can also be plugged into electrical grid for the off-duty charging. UltraTemp with LEEP freeze can save up to a gallon of fuel per hour, maintains set-point temperatures even when the engine is off, and provides quiet operation and considerably decreased emissions.
We are actively marketing the UltraTemp with LEEP Freeze, stated John Sommer, Jr, Kidron’s sales and marketing manager. Unlike other refrigeration technologies that can unexpectedly shut down, this cold plate technology can maintain cold temperatures even if the vehicle itself malfunctions. You don’t need to be a produce industry insider to know that the name of the game is to move fresh produce from the farm to the market with as much speed and predictability as possible. Our system does that better than any other solution while also reducing operational expenses associated with fuel and maintenance.
The customers also cite environmental benefits of UltraTemp with LEEP freeze as the primary motivators in their purchase decision.
Kidron is a US-based designer and manufacturer of truck bodies and trailers.
