FOLLETT ANNOUNCES ENERGY EFFICIENT 3 PHASE OUTDOOR CONDENSING UNIT

April 27, 2012 EASTON, PA - Follett Corporation adds outdoor condensing units with 3 phase power supply to its remote ice machine configurations.  Not only do outdoor condensing units remove from the building the heat generated when making ice, but these new energy efficient units save 20% over single phase units.

In addition to reducing the power required, the 3 phase machine's lower amp load allows for smaller circuits, saving money on installation.  Follett's Horizon™ ice machines with the new 3 phase outdoor condensing units produce the same high quality Chewblet® ice as the single phase remote condensing units as well as the self-contained machines.  The outdoor condensing units are available for Horizon 1000, 1400 and 1650 series ice machines.
