Manufacturing - Process Cooling, North East - 220kW Chiller Hire
The Challenge
A leading ice cream producer suffered a chiller breakdown at one of its largest UK facilities. With high demand and production targets to meet, temperatures began rising, threatening stock and continuity of production. The challenge was to deliver a rapid temporary cooling solution to enable production to continue while repairs were carried out or a replacement found for on-site plant.
What Did We Do?
After receiving the emergency call, our refrigeration experts visited the site in the north of England to quickly evaluate the cooling requirement and propose a hire solution to meet the need. The team, led by CRS’s northern regional sales manager, established that the plant had lost half its 300kW cooling capacity as a result of failure of a chiller. CRS produced a cost-effective proposal, and the solution was accepted by the customer.
How Did We Do It?
We organised delivery of a modern, super-efficient CRS 220 packaged chiller to the ice cream manufacturer’s site, plus all required hoses and cable. The chiller was positioned outside the main temperature-controlled facility, with flexible hoses connected to deliver food-safe chilled glycol-brine to the end user’s main cooling circuit.

Carrier Rental Systems quickly deployed, installed, and commissioned the necessary equipment. The temporary chiller was brought onstream and operated smoothly, effectively replacing the lost 150kW of cooling capacity caused by the original chiller outage.
Thanks to the timely intervention, production of ice cream and ice lollies continued uninterrupted, avoiding stock loss and ensuring customer orders were fulfilled on schedule, while the end user’s contractor addressed the chiller breakdown.
