Why Should I Buy True Refrigeration?

True Manufacturing offers high quality products with over 60 years of production experiences. True products are proudly made in the U.S.A. and have a commitment to professional growth and development. This customer friendly company guarantees outstanding quality in their products as one reason to purchase from the company. This article will explain twenty other incredible reasons why you should purchase True Refrigeration products.

1. High Quality Construction Materials

True uses only the highest quality metals in the production of their products. The highest-grade 300 series stainless steel is used on both T Series and TM Series units on the cabinet fronts, while top of the line coated aluminum is used on the exterior sides and backs. These series also utilize NSF approved white aluminum interiors to create an easy to clean, attractive interior appearance. The TS Series models also use 300 series stainless steel on the interior and exterior front and sides. The back of these units is made from matching coated aluminum to add visual appeal to the product. The TR Series is constructed completely of 300 series stainless steel on the interior, exterior, top, bottom, and back. Both of these materials are easy to clean and maintain, offering resistance to both scratches and dents.

2. Foaming Methods

The foaming methods used by True exceed that of other commercial refrigeration units by using foamed-in-place, polyurethane cell insulation which transcends the R-value of other comparable products. R-value is the measure of thermal resistance in insulation. Higher R-value will reduce utility costs and add strength to your cabinet.

3. Sizeable Evaporators

True uses oversized evaporators to maximize recovery time, which results in higher quality food and promotes product safety. The evaporators used by True are typically 20%-40% larger than those of other comparable units in the industry. True also uses larger copper tubing, 1/2" diameter compared to 3/8", which is generally used by other brands. All of these larger components mean savings and higher food quality for your business.

4. Oversized Compressor

True has been an industry leader in using innovative, oversized compressors. These larger compressors guarantee fresh food products and faster pull down temperatures. True's environmentally friendly refrigeration system allows for lower energy consumption and colder holding temperatures, which equals profits for your business.

5. Large Condensing Units

True continues their standard of excellence in oversized refrigeration systems by using the largest condensers in the entire industry. For example, True uses a 40 pass condenser in a standard two door upright refrigerator in comparison to the standard25-30 pass condenser used by competitors.

6. Energy Efficient Glass

True uses the highest quality, most energy efficient technology to to insulate their units. All glass door refrigerators use double pane "Low-E" glass, while lower temperature units such as freezers, use triple pane glass. This greater quality of insulation reduces the amount of time the compressor must run, which in turn reduces the energy costs for your business.

7. 100% Testing of All Units Manufactured

True is committed to producing the most exemplary products possible, which is done by utilizing numerous hours of testing. Each refrigerator is tested for 4-6 hours to ensure proper functioning of the unit, while each freezer is tested for 16-18 hours.

8. Freezers That Are Built To A -10 degree Fahrenheit Standard

True Refrigeration employs colder temperatures, which are typically charged for by other manufacturers. True cabinets hold temperatures of -10 degrees Fahrenheit, which can cost from $700-$1500 from competitors. Meat, seafood, ice cream, and other frozen foods will last much longer and maintain a better taste because of this lower temperature.

9. Frame Rail

True's heavy duty frames are built to withstand heavy usage without corroding or rusting. Robotic welders use a minimum of 1/2" full weld around the frame and then dip it into rust/corrosion inhibiting paint as a protective cover.

10. Evaporator Fan Motors

True's fan motors have a life expectancy of 15-20 years, as compared to the 2-4 year life expectancy of comparable brands. True can boast of this highly effective fan motor by using only sealed, cast-iron, oil filled, low velocity fan motors with a low velocity airflow and oversized fan blades. These large fans flow high volumes of air slowly across the evaporator, which results in faster pull down times and quicker recovery times.

11. Outstanding Aftersale Support

When you purchase a product from True, you can be assured that if the product malfunctions, replacement or repair will be quick and easy. True backs all of their products with a 5 year warranty on the compressor and condensing unit. If this part of the unit malfunctions for any reason, it will be replaced at no additional charge. True also offers a 1 year warranty on parts and labor and carry an extensive inventory of parts that can be shipped immediately upon parts request.

12. Super Durable, PVC Coated Shelving

The shelves for True Refrigeration products are manufactured internally and are built from heavy duty steel and coated with PVC to prevent chipping and peeling, which happens frequently with shelves that are coated with standard epoxy.

13. Extraordinary Cabinet Strength

The exceptional strength of the cabinets manufactured by True is due largely to the foaming process that each is subjected to. All True cabinets are insulated from top to bottom, which provides exceptional strength, so much that True is able to stack these large units 4 high in their warehouses.

14. Extensive Inventory

True stocks an extensive inventory of parts in the Missouri based manufacturing facility that totals 725,000 sq. ft. This large inventory allows True to service their customers as soon as possible.

15. Global Supplier of Food Service Equipment

True is a global supplier, which means they have numerous warehouses located both in the U.S.A. and internationally, 29 and 14 respectively, to service customers quickly. Customers can expect same day or next day shipment from these warehouses.

16. Extensive, Knowledgeable, Dedicated Sales Force

True's immense sales force is made up of knowledgeable regional salespeople, international salespeople, and food service specialists. These trained specialists are dedicated to ensuring quality sales assistance.

17. Industry Leadership

According to Foodservice Equipment & Supplies Magazine, True is "Best in Class" based on a survey for the past 6 years consecutively. True is recognized by their high quality products and outstanding customer service and support.

18. Energy Efficiency

True products are extremely energy efficient, exceeding standards set forth by the industry. This high standard of energy efficiency provides customers will lower utility bills, increased food safety, a long life span for the refrigeration system, and minimal maintenance costs.

19. Exceptional Customer Service

Each True customer can expect to speak to a live representative who will gladly assist them with their individual account. The technical support team includes highly skilled technicians, with an average of 20+ years of experience.

20. Coldest Holding Temperatures In the Industry

True produces refrigerators that maintain temperatures between 33-38 degrees Fahrenheit and freezers which maintain temperatures of -10 degrees Fahrenheit. The one exception is the T-19FZ, which holds temperatures steady at a chilly 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Competitors typically produce units that have holding temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 0-5 degrees Fahrenheit respectively. Colder holding temperatures equal longer shelf live and a reduction of bacteria growth, which heightens food safety.
