Zanotti Canada becomes Kryos
We are evolving towards a new identity that reflects our commitment towards innovation.
Kryos developed two temperature-controlled transportation solutions for a major cheese distributor in Quebec. Built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and a Dodge ProMaster, these installations combine a GAH refrigeration system with a heating system to transport different types of cheese simultaneously, while maintaining the temperature conditions required for each product.
The main challenge was to transport cheese curds and specialty cheeses in the same vehicle while meeting the specific temperature requirements of each product.
Cheese curds must be maintained at approximately +20°C year-round to preserve their texture and, of course, their famous “squish.” Specialty cheeses, on the other hand, must be kept between 0°C and 4°C to maintain their freshness and quality.
Kryos therefore designed an interior configuration with two distinct temperature zones, adapted to the needs of the products and to Quebec’s changing climate.
Two configurations were developed for the front section of the vehicle. The first uses the vehicle’s original heating system with an open front section connected to the driver’s cabin.
The second creates a completely enclosed and independent zone using a dedicated heating system, allowing the temperature to be maintained at approximately +20°C, even during cold weather.
At the rear, a refrigerated zone maintains product temperatures between 0°C and 4°C, regardless of outside temperatures.
This design allows the customer to transport different products simultaneously in a single vehicle while maintaining the required temperature for each product.
The solution provides greater operational flexibility while helping protect product quality throughout transportation, year-round.
This project demonstrates Kryos’ ability to design refrigerated and multi-temperature transportation solutions tailored to each customer’s specific requirements.
By combining GAH refrigeration technology, heating and a customized interior configuration, Kryos supports food distributors in developing efficient transportation solutions adapted to their operations.
Kryos is proud to contribute to the transportation of products for some of Quebec’s leading cheese distributors.
Because in Quebec, a great poutine always starts with great cheese curds… squish squish!
