🚛❄️ Mobile Blast Freezers for Rent or Sale, Delivered Anywhere ❄️🚛
Flexible, reliable cold storage solutions serving food, pharma, events & more across the U.S. & Canada. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to my new company, Modern Portable Refrigeration, or MPR. My name is Curt Archambeau, formerly of Kelly Refrigeration and Freezer, a division of Kelly Container. As the Opera

tions Director, I essentially ran this critical business segment—which was the fastest growing line of business under the Kelly name. While I am certainly proud of my accomplishments at Kelly, as an entrepreneur at heart, I decided it was time to establish my own portable cooler and freezer business. Starting a new business is never an easy undertaking and the current economic environment made the decision that much harder. However, I strongly believe that with MPR I can add significantly more value to clients like you then I was able to at Kelly. I will listen intently to your needs and follow through on educating you on all your refrigeration and freezer options (including some very exciting new technology such as our Shock Freezer and our\ eco-friendly economizer which can materially reduce your operating costs). Beyond that, MPR’s products and services are more competitively priced and our follow-on service is second to none. In short, you get the desired results with the solution that best meets your needs. Over the long run, I will build your trust for our products, services, and solutions that goes well beyond that which you possess today—that’s the compelling difference with MPR. I would certainly welcome the opportunity to discuss the operating philosophy of MPR and how we can add value to your business today and in the future. I will call on you in the coming weeks. Thank you so very much for your time and consideration. Warmly,

Standard cold storage works right up until it doesn't 🧊 If you're turning down orders, watching freezing times stretch into hours, or noticing spoilage creep higher every month, those aren't random problems. They're signs your operation has outgrown the equipment it's running on.

Swipe through 5 signs it might be time to scale your cold storage capacity ❄️ From capacity limits to compliance risk, these are the same warning signs we hear from food production, pharmaceutical, and industrial operators before they make the switch to portable blast freezing.

Sound familiar? It might be time to scale up. Visit our website for specs and availability 📦

Freeze more product per shift, waste less, and stop paying for off-site cold storage 🧊 Our portable blast freezer rentals deliver 100,000+ BTU of refrigeration with high-velocity airflow to lock in quality and minimize ice crystal formation, so your beef, poultry, baked goods, seafood, and ready-to-eat items hit target temp fast and consistently ❄️

Real-time temperature monitoring and HACCP-ready controls give your team precise insight into every batch, improving quality control while reducing spoilage and logistics costs 📊

If you're responsible for throughput and margins on the production floor, it's time to take back on-site control. Request pricing or schedule a demo today to see how an MPR Blast Freezer can change your operation 📦

Cold storage that doesn't hold up isn't just a maintenance headache, it's a compliance risk 🧊 Temperature excursions, inconsistent logs, and unreliable equipment can put your FDA and FSMA audit at risk before you even realize there's a problem.

MPR's portable blast freezers are built to solve both sides of that equation. HACCP-ready temperature monitoring gives you the documentation auditors ask for, while high-capacity freeze rates and temperature ranges down to -85°F keep your product quality where it needs to be. Rapid deployment and flexible capacity options mean you're not locked into equipment that can't scale with your operation.

Whether you're running food production, pharmaceutical logistics, or industrial cold storage, your cold chain should never be the reason you fail an inspection. 📋❄️

Choosing the wrong portable refrigeration provider costs you more than money. It costs you product, compliance, and production time. 🧊

✅ HACCP-ready temperature monitoring for FDA and FSMA compliance

Harvest season is one of the highest-stakes windows in food production. Volume spikes, timelines compress, and your cold storage has to keep up, or you start losing product you worked an entire season to grow. 🌾❄️

Inadequate freezing capacity during peak harvest is one of the most preventable sources of spoilage and revenue loss in agricultural and food processing operations. When the product comes in faster than your cold chain can handle it, quality degrades fast.

MPR deploys portable blast freezers directly to your harvest site or processing facility with rapid freeze capacity up to 20,000 lbs per day, precise temperature control, and zero-downtime setup so your cold chain is ready when the harvest hits. 🏭

No waiting for permanent installation. No outsourcing your freezing to a third-party facility. No capacity gaps during your most critical production window. 💪

Short-term harvest season rentals and long-term solutions are both available. Custom-configured to your volume and your timeline.

Don't let cold storage be the bottleneck this season.

The cold chain isn't just a logistics term. It's the difference between a product that arrives at full value and a product that doesn't. 🧊

From harvest to delivery, every step in the cold chain requires unbroken temperature control. One gap, whether at freezing, storage, transport, or distribution, can mean spoilage, failed FDA compliance, and serious revenue loss.

The most overlooked weak point? On-site freezing capacity. Most facilities rely on outsourced or inadequate freezing solutions that slow down production and introduce risk at the most critical stage.

MPR's portable blast freezers and ShockFreezer units close that gap, delivering up to 20,000 lbs of freezing capacity per day at temperatures down to -85°F, right at your facility.

Rent or buy a blast freezer? Most operations managers ask this question once and go with their gut. The numbers tell a different story. 🧊📊

Buying a blast freezer looks straightforward on the surface. But the sticker price is just the beginning. Equipment alone runs $150,000 to $400,000. Add installation, site prep, and facility modifications, and you're looking at $200,000 to $500,000+ before you freeze a single pound of product.

Then year one hits. Energy, repairs, and maintenance stack up to $175,000 annually. By year 5, the total cost of ownership can exceed $575,000. 💸

Renting with MPR converts that entire capital commitment into a predictable, flexible operating expense. Delivery, installation, 24/7 operational support, maintenance, emergency service, and removal at the end of the rental are all included. No depreciation. No surprise repair bills. No facility modifications eating into your budget.

Here's the number that matters most: a purchased blast freezer does not become cost-competitive with rental until year 6 or 7, and only if you're running at full capacity year-round. In the first 5 years, rental typically saves operations $100,000 to $200,000 compared to purchasing. ❄️💡

The math is clear. The flexibility is yours.
