DuctSox® Low-Throw™ Series Air Distribution System Plays Key Role in
Food Processing Facility Designed for 7-Eleven .
| Providing fresh, quality food products to millions of hungry customers is a top priority of The Southland Corporation, operator and franchisor of the 7-Eleven convenience-store chain. But, when the company contracted in March 1994 with the Prime Deli Corporation, a state-of-the-art food assembly facility, freshness took on a whole new dimension. |  |
Utilizing just-in-time manufacturing principles, Prime Deli of Lewisville, Texas, assembles and delivers more that 20,000 sandwiches and salads a day for all 244 Dallas/Fort Worth-area 7-Eleven stores. Says Prime Deli plant manager Craig Weidner, "no other convenience-store chain can match our freshness guarantee." USDA-certified, Southland's freshness guarantee is made possible by Prime Deli's progressive facility design and highly choreographed system centered around quick assembly and, chilled even temperatures. Specified into the facility is a Low-Throw Series DuctSox® Air Distribution System.
By distributing 40° or less cool air evenly throughout the 24,000 sq. ft. facility, DuctSox® play an integral role in quality control and employee productivity at Prime Deli. To ensure even air distribution, the installation required a total of nine DuctSox® -- 50-feet-long and two feet in diameter.
By controlling cold, localized drafts, DuctSox® made Prime Deli a more comfortable place to work -- a boost to employee morale and plant productivity
Prime Deli was pleased to discover that DuctSox® also filter the diffused air. The
USDA-approved DuctSox® fabric provides a secondary line of protection against harmful bacteria and other airborne particulate -- as small as 1 - 5 microns -- above and beyond what their standard HVAC filtration system collects. |
