Anqing, China - Want Want Food Main Factory Turnkey Cold Storage

Project Basic Information

The project serves Anqing Want Want Food Co., Ltd., a core production base of Want Want Group specializing in snack foods, dairy beverages and frozen treats. KendallRefrigeration, acting as the turnkey contractor, is responsible for the full scope covering design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning and completion acceptance for the new cold storage facility at the Anqing Main Factory.

The project comprises three independent cold rooms-refrigerated, constant-temperature and freezing storage-each with distinct temperature zones to match the customer’s raw material, semi-finished product and finished product preservation needs. All technical parameters are implemented strictly per the bidding documents, without exaggeration or modification.

Customer Pain Points & Core Requirements

As a large-scale food production enterprise, Want Want Group demands that its cold storage system must never become a bottleneck for production continuity. The Anqing Main Factory’s new project places five rigid demands on the contractor: each temperature zone must operate independently with precise control; refrigeration equipment must run around the clock without interruption; safety, environmental and fire-protection compliance cannot be compromised; construction must follow ES safety requirements with zero tolerance for site chaos; and delivery must hit the schedule with one-time acceptance. Any gap in these areas directly threatens product quality, shelf life and production line throughput.

Core requirements checklist:

• Independent multi-zone operation: Refrigerated, constant-temperature and freezing storage must each maintain stable temperature without interference from other zones

• 24/7 redundancy guarantee: Equipment must be configured with one-use-one-backup to eliminate shutdown risks during continuous production shifts

• Full regulatory compliance: Safety, environmental protection, fire protection and electrical standards for food factory operation must be met without exception

• ES safety construction management: Strict on-site safety and standardized management to protect existing production lines during construction

• Schedule-bound one-time acceptance: On-schedule delivery, single-pass acceptance and long-term reliable performance from handover day one

Targeted Solutions

Kendall Refrigeration addresses each of the above demands with purpose-built solutions rather than generic templates. Equipment brands and technical approaches are selected strictly per the customer’s specifications, ensuring high efficiency, low noise and long service life throughout the system.

Warehouse Enclosure - B1 Fire-Retardant PU Panels & Protected Doors

The freezing storage uses 150mm thick PU insulated color steel panels (0.5mm inner/outer steel sheets, B1 fire-retardant PU, density 38–42 kg/m³) for walls and ceiling; refrigerated and constant-temperature storages adopt 100mm panels with matching material standards for balanced insulation and cost efficiency. Single-leaf electric sliding doors with double-sided color steel panels are equipped with remote control and standard anti-collision columns. Rationale: food production workshops require moisture-proof, fire-resistant and easy-to-clean surfaces; B1-grade PU panels satisfy fire safety regulations while the anti-collision column design extends door service life under high-frequency forklift traffic typical in food factories.

Refrigeration Host - Copeland & Bitzer Compressors

Top international brand compressors such as Copeland and Bitzer are deployed, delivering stable performance and high energy efficiency. Rationale: food production lines run continuously through multiple shifts; compressor failure would immediately jeopardize product quality and halt throughput. Copeland and Bitzer’s proven reliability and energy efficiency directly support the customer’s 24/7 operation mandate.

Air Coolers - Kubao Copper-Tube Aluminum-Fin Units with EBM Motors

High-efficiency, low-noise copper-tube aluminum-fin air coolers (Kubao or equivalent) are paired with imported EBM motors. Rationale: uniform air distribution inside the storage chambers prevents localized temperature deviations that could spoil semi-finished products or compromise finished product shelf life; the low-noise design also reduces interference with the production environment.

One-Use-One-Backup Redundancy - Zone-Specific HP Allocation

Each zone is equipped with dual compressor units and dual air coolers operating in synchronous mode: freezing storage with 2×9HP units + 2×DD-80 air coolers; refrigerated storage with 2×15HP units + 2×DD-185 air coolers; constant-temperature storage with 2×10HP units + 2×DD-160 air coolers. If one unit fails, the remaining unit maintains the target temperature. Rationale: a single compressor breakdown in a food factory can cascade into production line shutdown and product loss; zone-specific redundancy ensures that each temperature zone stays independent and self-protecting, eliminating cross-zone risk propagation.

Intelligent Control & Safety Electrical System - Schneider + Explosion - Proof Lighting

Control panels use Schneider components for stable and safe operation. Explosion-proof LED cold storage lamps (GE / Philips, IP66 rated) provide moisture-proof, low power consumption lighting. The fully automatic microcomputer control system delivers real-time display and recording of chamber temperature, running time, defrosting time and fan delay, with fault alarm, operation parameters, automatic curve generation and data export. Rationale: food factories require traceable temperature records for quality audits and regulatory inspections; intelligent monitoring reduces manual labor while ensuring every temperature deviation triggers an immediate alarm, preventing quality incidents before they escalate.

ES Safety Construction & Full-Process Project Management

KendallRefrigeration strictly abides by ES safety requirements with a full-time on-site representative for coordination. Temporary protection for existing equipment ensures no disruption to ongoing production. Design submission, construction and installation follow customer milestones. Concealed work records are submitted before covering; complete as-built documents and electronic files are provided within two weeks. Rationale: food factory expansion cannot afford production downtime during construction; standardized site management and milestone control guarantee that new facility construction and existing production lines operate in parallel without conflict.

Solution Advantages & Customer Value

The turnkey cold storage project delivers safe, stable, efficient and worry-free cold chain value to Anqing Want Want Food across five dimensions:

• Precise multi-zone adaptation: Three independent temperature zones-refrigerated (5°C±5°C), constant-temperature (15°C±5°C) and freezing (-18°C)-each dedicated to raw materials, semi-finished products or finished products, ensuring food quality and shelf life across all categories

• Zero-risk redundant operation: One-use-one-backup units in every zone eliminate production downtime caused by single-equipment failure, supporting 24/7 continuous production shifts without cold chain interruption

• Low-failure premium equipment: World-class core components from Copeland, Bitzer, Danfoss and Kubao reduce failure rates, simplify maintenance and lower long-term operation costs for the factory

• Intelligent easy operation: Automatic microcomputer control with data logging, fault alarms and curve generation reduces manual monitoring labor and improves traceability for quality audits and regulatory compliance

• Fully compliant delivery: Full compliance with national and factory-specific standards; fire, electrical and safety systems qualified in one inspection, enabling one-time acceptance and immediate production readiness
