conveyor and fork truck tunnel connecting the structure to the existing packaging
lines. The refrigeration plant is a central ammonia system utilizing penthouse evaporators,
screw compressors, thermosiphon oil cooling and evaporative condensing. Dedicated
computer control system provides energy management.
Thermal construction consisted of five inch exterior urethane wall panels. Door
types consisted of electric vertical lift dock doors and hinged cold storage doors
for personnel.
Alta Dena Dairy was founded as a family business in 1945. Committed to the highest
standard of dairy processing, Alta Dena earned "Certified Dairy" status
in 1953 from the American Association of Medical Milk Commissions. This is a guarantee
that Alta Dena's milk meets special requirements for safety, nutrition and production
standards. It has kept this high standard continually for over 50 years using hormone
free dairy cows from local family farmers.
