    Best Monoblocs for a Walk in ?



    Hi, whats the best monobloc for a walk in fridge or freezer to use.

    And wheres the best place to buy ?

    HRP etc dont sell them ( but are looking into them )

    We get called out to many makes with faults, Yes we can buy direct from Porkka, etc, but feel they are not the best prices available for what they are ( gloryfied thru the wall units )

    Any input would be much appreciated.

    Zanotti, Technobloc,...
    Both have here a not so bad reputation.

    Then there is EFC from Spain, Rivacold in Italy. We had used EFC. Zanotti , Technoblock & find that they work very well. However since we are using now EFC for last 15 years I would definteily say that you go for them.

    Just like a window A/C or a roof top A/C, only it is geared for refrigeration instead of A/C.

    So instead of window air conditioner, we can say monoblock air conditioner!

    Monoblock, gotcha!

    We just call them "packaged refrigeration systems" I sell quite a few Heatcraft models.

    Thanks

    I've seen the US version from HRP at a tradeshow last year in the US. They're called Pro3 top or side mount.

    HRP Europe's model is called the Euromon. Go search for frigabohn and euromon - and you should find it.

    You might want to try Rivacold, they are direct competition to Zannotti and I happen to know have a UK depot in Gloucestershire containing approx 60 monoblocks Tel 01684 878035

    Neil, I suggest you edit your advertisement post because this is against our forum rules.

    Ahh, so it's a drop in, or slide in (depending in whether it's throug the ceiling or wall). I've never heard the term monoblock either.
    I haven't seen any wall mounts, all the ones I've seen were through the ceiling, so everyone called that type of unit a 'drop in'
