Safe and successful season means keeping drivers rested Our season is here and you and your drivers are hustling. You’re only human, but with the loading and delivery schedules you are responsible for, you need to be bionic on many days. I thought it timely when I was taking delivery of two trucks recently that I noticed one of the drivers (shown below) catching some shut eye while the truck was being unloaded.

I suppose that’s one way to get some rest while working during the day, but the better, safer way is basic common sense: get plenty of sleep before your shift. Not only must commercial drivers contend with other motorists, dangerous weather conditions, and wandering wildlife, but they must do so while operating large rigs, often carrying heavy and sometimes dangerous cargo. One mistake carries possibly huge repercussions, including ruining what you’ve built your livelihood around. Truck safety is a full time job and should be at the front of your operating procedure. We have some other tips to keep your fleet costs down as well inside this issue. Fuel is cheaper than it’s been in years, so thank goodness for a little relief on our books this year.

In 1973, Bernie Akemann (president of the Mo. Valley Ice Manufacturers Association) started Waterville Ice with a single 600-pound ice machine. Today, the Waterville, Minn. family business has over 400 customers and is the recipient of an international honor, granted by the IPIA. Bernie’s company and his personal business journey in the ice industry begins on page 6.

Also inside this issue is coverage of the fantastic Hawaiian excursion enjoyed with the Western Ice Association, some sister industry news, and an interesting piece on what strides and market share Vapes are making in the convenience store segment of our market.

Enjoy this issue, and remember, no texting and driving!

any people overlook the lowly ice cube, but ice is a big business. Just ask Bernard Akemann, owner of Waterville Foods & Ice, Inc. Akemann and his wife, Rita, along with their sons Andrew and Aric and a small team of employees, work hard to manufacture and distribute top-quality ice. The family business recently received an international award of excellence for their high “packaged ice quality control standards” and audit score.

Only 20 ice manufacturers in the world currently hold the prestigious honor granted by the International Packaged Ice Association. A recent audit has assured Waterville Foods & Ice will once again receive the honor this year!

“Our ice is over and above all USDA and FDA standards,” explained Akemann, who began in the ice business in 1973 with one 600-pound ice machine. The U.S. Air Force veteran and former butter maker and his new bride moved to Waterville 45 years ago after Akemann returned from Vietnam, purchasing and operating the local A & W drive-in along

Highway 60. Always the businessman, Akemann expanded the restaurant in 1973 to include indoor seating. At that time, the entrepreneurs purchased their first ice-making machine.

“In addition to supplying our own ice, we supplied ice for Herb Beach’s Red Owl and the Webb Station in town.

We’ve grown from there. Now, we have well over 400 customers,” Akemann stated, who oversees the Missouri Valley Ice Manufacturers Association, which includes approximately 110 independent and corporate ice businesses in the midwest.

After the family’s A & W business burned down in 1989, they set to work rebuilding at the Highway 60 location.

This time, everything was focused on ice production. The machinery was custommade for efficiency. In 2003, everything was updated.

No other ice manufacturing plant is set up in the same manner, and Akemann wants to keep it that way. continued on page 9 ►

The market leader in full system automation just got better.

RAESCO, the ice industry’s most trusted brand of automatic palletizing equipment is now part of the ARPAC family of automation solutions. With over 30,000 installations, ARPAC has the resources to deliver superior solutions. Automatic Ice Systems Inc., in partnership with ARPAC, is developing tomorrow’s automation solutions for today’s packaged ice producers.

Whether you are considering semi-automatic palletizing, automatic stretch wrapping, or complete system automation, Automatic Ice™ Palletizing Systems by ARPAC deliver operational productivity unmatched by the competition.

“We’ve worked hard to develop the system we have today. It’s how we stay ahead of our competition,” he explained.

Waterville Foods & Ice distributes product to a wide area, spanning from Hastings and Minneapolis to Gibbon, down to Jackson, and over to Winona.

The majority of the ice produced at the local plant is tubular bar/ restaurant-style ice about the size of your thumb. Cubes are discouraged because they like to stick together.

“People don’t realize bacteria grows even below freezing,” Akemann stated. “That’s why proper procedure is so important when producing ice. The total bacteria count on ice that has been handled by hand is around 250. Think about that sitting in storage, and the growth that occurs on it before you use it in your drink or cooler where your can or bottle comes in contact with the ice--and then your mouth. That’s why we don’t handle our ice by hand and take every precaution to kill any and all bacteria.”

Waterville Foods & Ice Inc. operates with a crew of nine. In addition to bar/restaurant ice, the local business also offers block ice and dry ice. Ice equipment is also available.

“Many people think ice is cheap, but for a bar the total cost amounts to the cost of a machine, proper cleaning and maintenance of the machine, and the energy to operate it, which comes to about 13 cents a pound. Our industrial practices allow us to make large quantities of ice for a good price, and we deliver,” Akemann said.

“We’re proud of our product, and work hard to make it the best it can be.”

While the process of creating the perfect ice remains a family secret, Akemann agreed to give an overview of his operation. Well water is filtered using the process of reverse osmosis and is then pumped through a special machine that kills bacteria.

From there, the beautiful aqua-blue pure water flows into machines that shape and freeze the water into ice. (Ice chips are separated out to be made into ice blocks.) The ice pieces then travel via conveyor belt to a cooler where they are dried to prevent them from melting together.

A bagging machine then dumps pre-assigned quantities of ice into bags. Workers load the bags onto pallets and off to nearby freezers.

“Our ice is never handled by bare hands,” Akemann stated. This procedure is essential in keeping bacteria from the ice.

Seven years ago, the ice industry underwent big changes. After a group of people in Canada ingested salmonella-contaminated ice and ice was brought to the forefront in the news, the U.S. federal government declared ice to be food and established strict regulations for its production.

Plant Maintenance

CENTRAL PLANT OPTIMIZATION

A holistic approach that allows central plants to reach and sustain their high-performance, highefficiency potential – Are you getting the most from your central plant?

parts 3-7

As promised, here are steps 3-7 of our March feature on Central Plant Optimization.

A

s commercial building owners search for ways to be more competitive, earn green building certification, and anticipate government mandates for higher levels of energy efficiency, growing attention is being paid to the central plant. It’s a logical place to turn. Buildings are the largest consumer of energy worldwide. Within a building’s systems such as airside, chillers and boilers, the chiller plant uses the most energy. As a result, there is mounting pressure to increase plant efficiency through something called optimization.

Optimization is generating quite a buzz in the industry, but because the concept is still in its infancy, there’s been a great deal of confusion about what it means. Is it hardware? Software? A third-party add on? Truth is, Central Plant Optimization is all those – and more. Central Plant Optimization is an approach. A philosophy. A methodology. And when fully implemented, it will allow a chiller plant to reach and sustain its high-performance, highefficiency potential.

To get there, however, the industry is going to have to change the way it thinks about efficiency.

10 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ May 2015

“

Central Plant Optimization is an approach. A philosophy.

A methodology.

And when fully implemented, it will allow a chiller plant to reach and sustain its highperformance, highefficiency potential.

Optimization Step 3: Application of Components Have you ever used a screwdriver to pound nails? It gets the job done, but not as efficiently as a hammer. The same holds true for energy-efficient components.

To achieve peak performance, the equipment must be applied and operated properly - step three in the optimization pyramid. When installing or evaluating the performance of components, follow these best practices: • Run the plant at its designed chilled water temperature. If the plant was designed to run at 44 degrees, running it at 42 degrees will reduce its optimization potential.

• Don’t push too much or too little water through the chiller. Too much water will decrease the efficiency of the pumping; too little will diminish the efficiency of the chiller itself.

• Take advantage of the environment.

Install equipment that is capable of taking advantage of colder condenser water temperatures, when available, to make the plant run more efficiently. Improper component application diminishes system efficiency, although the impact may go unnoticed unless central plant performance is being effectively monitored. (See step 7.)

Optimization Step 4: Automation of the System The next step in the pyramid is a prerequisite to optimization: building automation. Owners who already have a building automation system (BAS) in place are well-positioned to take advantage of optimization. Those who don’t must make the shift, because even the most skilled human operators in the world would have a hard time operating a plant as efficiently and effectively as a current BAS.

Today’s BAS doesn’t just start and stop equipment to maintain set points. It starts the right equipment at the right time to maximize efficiency based on its run history and its efficiency profile.

With variable speed drives, the BAS also selects the right speed at which to operate pumps and tower fans.

Top-tier building automation systems enhance plant efficiency further with tuning algorithms that continually adjust control routines based on system dynamics and seasonal changes. Today’s best-in-class building automation systems also offer monitoring and reporting tools so that a central plant’s efficient performance can be sustained over time.

“

Optimization software is standardized, documented, tested and proven – decreasing both cost and risk for the purchaser.

Optimization Step 5: Networked Optimization Software Networked optimization software is the intelligent logic that holistically operates the plant in the most efficient manner. It’s the brain behind the operation, and step 5 in the strategy to achieve Central Plant Optimization.

Today’s optimization software takes advantage of building automation systems to maximize central plant efficiency. It is standardized and scalable yet takes into account the specific energy characteristics of a plant’s equipment.

The most advanced optimization software offers relational-control

algorithms that optimize all the equipment so each component uses the least amount of power required to maintain occupant comfort.

Control set points are automatically calculated based on real-time building load information inputs received from the building automation system, and the optimization software then evaluates that data and makes recommendations back to the BAS to improve performance.

Until recently, such state-of-theart software was available only as a custom-built solution. But today, optimization software is standardized, documented, tested and proven – decreasing both cost and risk for the purchaser. Top-tier solutions are also scalable. Building owners can test drive the optimization software at one location, then scale it across an entire enterprise or portfolio of buildings.

These networked solutions also deliver web-based, real-time measurement, verification and management of central plant operating performance, making it possible for building owners and operators to increase and sustain energy savings month after month, year after year. Owners who already have a BAS in place are well-positioned to take advantage of optimization.

Optimization Step 6: Maintenance With Central Plant Optimization, service is no longer a “set it and forget it” proposition. Just as central plants have evolved and become more sophisticated over time, so has the role of maintenance.

A century ago, uptime was the critical measure of system success.

For the most part, maintenance was reactionary. If cold air wasn’t being delivered, something got fixed. That continued on page 25 ► May 2015 │ REFRIGERATION Magazine 11

Average Diesel Price at Lowest Level in Nearly 6 Years

By Evan Lockridge

T

he national average cost of on-highway diesel fell once again mid-April, posting its fifth uninterrupted drop and hitting its lowest level since late December of 2009, according to new U.S. Energy Department figures.

The 3-cents decline put it at $3.754 per gallon, for a combined drop of 19 cents over the five weeks prior. The current price is $1.198 less compared to the same time a year ago.

Prices declined in all the different sections of the country during midApril, ranging from 0.4 cents in the West Coast region, where it averages $2.914, to as much as 4.2 cents in the Central Atlantic states for an average of $3.08, also the highest priced part of the country.

The least expensive price was in the Gulf Coast region at $2.62, down 2.3 cents from earlier in April.

As for regular grade gasoline, it posted a much smaller overall decline of 0.5 cent during mid-April for a national average of $2.408. While that marked its third consecutive weekly drop, gasoline is up more than 35 cents since hitting a multi-year low $2.044 in January. Compared to the same time a year ago the current average cost is still $1.243 less.

Prices increased less than a penny over mid-April in the East Coast and Gulf Coast regions but it gained more than 3 cents in the Rocky Mountain region. All other regions declined. Gasoline ranged from a low of $2.188 in the Gulf Coast region to a high of $2.922 in the West Coast region.

Meantime, the price of crude oil edged higher, picking up 27 cents in New York trading before settling at $51.91 per barrel. Despite the slight uptick, it’s down 4 cents from the opening market price of $51.95 on April 7, following a volatile trading week and is still down around 50% from more than $100 per barrel hit last July.

Ways to Reduce Truck Fleet Costs Safety is a full time job. All it takes is one driver asleep at the wheel (see photo below taken when I was on a job recently) to destroy all that you have spent your life building.

These 39 tips cover the categories of tires, driver behavior, specs, maintenance, company management, and overall safety. This is the season to make or break your year, so make sure your employees are keeping your standards out front.

14 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ May 2015

TIRES Properly choosing and maintaining tires can significantly affect lower fleet fuel expenses and extend tire life.

1. Develop a tire retreading program. Retreading existing radial ply tire casings can add an additional 120,000 miles per retread at about 35 percent of the cost of a new tire.

2. Poor alignment wears out tires as much as it cuts fuel efficiency. Check alignment on a regularly scheduled basis.

3. Check alignment under these special circumstances: if the truck has been towed, if unusual wear is noticed, and anytime tires are changed.

4. Make certain all tires installed are properly balanced.

This will help eliminate wear and cab vibrations.

5. All tire valve stems should have a seal-type valve cap to protect tires from road dirt entering the stems and starting slow tire leaks.

6. Remember both underinflation and overinflation of tires will increase tire wear and reduce fuel efficiency.

7. Have drivers carry a pocket air pressure gauge to ensure proper tire inflation when they do their pre-trip inspection.

DRIVER BEHAVIOR The way drivers handle their trucks has a major impact on fuel economy. It pays to encourage drivers to adopt the most efficient driving techniques.

8. When starting a truck, don’t rev the engine. Let the engine warm up on its own.

9. When warming up the engine, take about 10 minutes to reach adequate operating temperature. Warm-ups longer than 10 minutes, except in subzero temperatures, simply waste fuel.

10. Run at the most fuel-efficient engine speeds.

11. Avoid idling whenever possible. If you leave your truck, shut it off. Just one half hour of excessive idling before or after a 100-mile trip can reduce mpg by about one-third.

12. Keep in mind an engine wears out twice as fast idling as under normal operation. One hour of unnecessary idling a day, over the course of a year, adds the equivalent of 26,000 road miles to an engine’s wear.

SPECIFICATIONS 13. When spec’ing vehicles, make sure all components— the drivetrain, tires, engine, and aerodynamics—are properly matched to maximize fuel efficiency.

14. Adding aerodynamic features to vehicles can be cost-effective. Rule of thumb: each 10-percent reduction in air resistance increases mpg by 5 percent.

15. When spec’ing a vehicle, be aware of the weights of the various components. Extra weight not only increases fuel consumption, but also cuts down payload.

16. Give careful thought to the way vehicles are painted and lettered. An attractive truck can serve as an excellent and cost-effective advertisement for your business.

MAINTENANCE Preventive maintenance pays off by avoiding unnecessary and expensive repairs in the long run.

17. A preventive maintenance program is well worth the investment. It minimizes downtime, increases equipment lifespan, and saves fuel.

18. Winterize vehicles by checking cooling systems, tires, and electrical systems.

19. Don’t forget to service air filters frequently.

20. Before every trip, drivers should look under the hood and check all fluid levels.

21. Drivers should also check all hoses, lines, belts for tightness and fraying, and electrical wiring for fraying, cracks, and worn or burned spots.

MANAGEMENT When more efficient operating methods come along, test them, and if they work, use them. Here are some proven suggestions your company might want to try: 22. Educate company drivers on the various ways idling can substantially raise fleet costs.

Trucking Tips ◄ continued from page 16 23. Create a driver training program with incentives to promote more efficient fuel use.

24. Start a company driver committee to discuss and offer cost-saving ideas to management with rewards for implemented ideas.

25. Computerized routing and scheduling are available to cut overall mileage.

26. Use computerized management reports to monitor fleet performance such as fuel consumption, maintenance costs, driver productivity and total cost per mile.

27. Know the vehicle’s operating costs per mile.

28. Driver-assistance hiring programs that explain mandatory drug testing and CDL requirements result in better hiring practices.

SAFETY Take a look at the factors affecting your fleet’s safety.

This can save not only money, but also lives.

29. Keep the entire truck clean—the engine compartment, the drivetrain, the frame, the axles, and other undercarriage components—to improve visual inspection in all areas.

30. To reduce sick time and workers’ compensation claims, hold a back-injury prevention seminar. Back injuries are the most common, but preventable, worker-related injury among truck drivers.

Use computerized management reports to monitor fleet performance such as fuel consumption, maintenance costs, driver productivity and total cost per mile.

18 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ May 2015

31. Develop a professional driver safety program to reduce accidents, citations, and insurance premiums.

32. Provide drivers a training seminar on safe winter driving techniques.

33. The Federal Highway Administration conducts safety reviews and assigns safety ratings. Keep all safety program paperwork in order.

Here are steps a driver can take to improve his or her physical safety: 34. Perform start of day inspection the same way every time. Establishing a routine prevents oversights.

35. Make sure drivers always carry: spare electrical fuses, three red reflective triangles, properly charged and rated fire extinguishers, and extra headlamps and light bulbs.

36. When checking wheels, look for rust around lug nuts.

This may indicate they are loose.

37. On wet, icy, or snow-covered roads, it is best not to use an engine retarder. Engine retarders can cause the truck to go into a skid.

38. Remember that empty trucks take longer to stop than heavier trucks because there is less friction between the tires and the road surface.

39. If the road is wet, stopping distance is doubled, so reduce speed by one-third. On snowy roads, reduce speed by one-half. On icy roads, slow to a crawl and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

Thousands die needlessly each year because people continue to use their cell phones while driving, handheld or hands-free.

The National Safety Council urges drivers to: • Stop using cell phones while driving.

• Understand the dangers of the cognitive distraction to the brain.

• Inform people who call you while driving that you’d be happy to continue the conversation once they have reached their destination.

• Tell others about the dangers of cell phone distracted driving. No phone call is worth a life.

Try turning your Bluetooth on and taking all your calls through that. It keeps your hands on the wheel, although there are now states which are pushing to outlaw ALL cell phone use, including talking on it.

Best rule of thumb is concentrate on getting you and your ice delivery to your customer in one piece.

Springtime

DANGERS For Your Drivers

You’ve got your fleet checked out and ready to start your busy delivery season. It’s interesting that once the snow begins to melt, some of the most dangerous driving conditions bloom.

Drivers may think their driving worries have melted away with the winter ice and snow. Not so. Spring brings its own set of challenges for safety-conscious drivers.

Many drivers underestimate road conditions once the snow and ice have melted. Spring showers bring May flowers, but rain is a common spring driving hazard. The roads can be very slick from the oils and moisture. While daily pre-trip inspections of your delivery vehicles are to be performed, particular attention should be given to the condition of wiperblades.

After a long winter of salt and other road residue on the windows, wiper effectiveness can be greatly reduced. Make certain that they are in good condition before driving.

Sister Industry News

IARW Announces 2015 List of World’s Largest Temperature-Controlled Warehousing and Logistics Providers The International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses (IARW), headquartered in Alexandria, Va., has released its annual Global Top 25 List of the largest temperaturecontrolled warehousing and logistics providers in the world. Accompanying the Global Top 25 is the IARW North American Top 25 List. For the first time, IARW has also compiled a list of the largest operators in Latin America and the Caribbean and Europe, reflecting the strength of the cold chain in both regions. The lists are determined by total capacity of temperature-controlled space.

Companies worldwide reported increased capacity and several new companies joined IARW in the past year. As a result, the combined space of IARW total membership is significantly higher.

IARW members currently own or operate 4.73 billion cubic feet (133.96 million cubic meters) – a 7.78% increase from May 2014 when the lists were last published.

» Move Over C-Store Now There May Be The V-Store!

Ma

S a ys ..

“Can you imagine your ice merchandiser out in front of this growing ‘chain’ of possible customer base?”

There are as many as 15,000 vape stores currently operating in the United States and that number may just be the tip of the iceberg. In fact, “vapor shops” became their own category on the popular social media site Yelp as of May.

different flavors, five different nicotine strengths and more than 200 different combinations of tops and bottoms — 75 to 100 different types of tanks (tops) and about 80 to 100 different types of batteries or devices (bottoms).

Why should convenience store retailers care?

Because recent research shows vape shops are taking away c-store electronic cigarette customers as they move to vapor products, making it critical for c-stores to get in the game as soon as possible.

Also, younger adult smokers — one of the key demographics c-stores have been trying to attract as customers — are particularly interested in vapor.

“Being able to try different flavors and different tank systems is what gives vape shops an advantage over convenience stores. Mixing and matching is what fine-tunes the product to work for a certain person,” she said. “In a convenience store, you are buying a kit so you are stuck with that tank and that battery. You can change the flavor, buy a different liquid to put into the open tank, but you really can’t change much else.”

”Variety is a key advantage vape shops have over c-stores”

CSNews Online recently spoke to owners of several vapor stores around the country to gain insight on what’s driving the expansion of these businesses and what they have that c-stores don’t.

Spike Babaian, co-owner of Vape NY, a chain of vape shops with three locations in New York City — Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn — said the vapor products currently being sold in most convenience stores are “last generation.”

While new users turn to the older generation of products because the new products tend to be more complicated, established vapers have moved well beyond this point.

Vape NY offers approximately 30 24 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ May 2015

Michelle LaBarbera, director of marketing for Davie, Fla.-based Vapor Group Inc., agrees that variety is a key advantage vape shops have over c-stores. Vapor Group started out as a developer and manufacturer of vaporizers and e-cigarette brands and has since started opening its own retail stores in Florida.

With more vape shops popping up around the country, LaBarbera believes convenience stores will be able to compete in this emerging category — but only to a degree.

“Convenience stores will compete to some extent, but the products will be basic.

They will have the kits that have a USB charger, a typical battery and an atomizer that a consumer can pick up quickly.

Convenience stores will carry some liquids, but you are not going to have the variety like you do in a brick-and-mortar vape store,” according to LaBarbera.

was followed by a focus on maintaining occupant comfort and increasing efficiency, which meant maintenance became more routine, more proactive.

With today’s ultra-efficient components and optimized central plants, maintenance is predictive. In fact, predictive maintenance - the ability to identify issues before they become problems - is essential to maintaining the optimization of today’s central chiller water plants.

Predictive maintenance also places an inherently different responsibility on the people who are providing service. To make sure efficiency levels are being maintained over the plant’s entire life cycle, performance data must be regularly measured, verified and managed as part of a continuous commissioning process.

Optimization Step 7: Measurement, Verification and Management The pinnacle of the optimization pyramid is measurement, verification and management. When real-time data is available anytime, anywhere, issues such as performance

drift can be identified long before the degradation results in significant loss of efficiency or, at worse, equipment failure.

Today, web-based tools are available 24/7 and act as a continuous feedback loop by providing detailed, real-time and historical performance data so operators can quickly detect, diagnose and resolve system faults. Data is made visible via easy-to-read graphs and charts and analysis tools allow for the quick diagnosis of faults. Alerts and notifications are sent automatically. Sophisticated yet simple to use, these emerging measurement tools enable continuous commissioning to be more effective. Early adopters say they’re amazed at the level of available, actionable data these tools provide. ASHRAE is taking notice of the value delivered by real-time measurement, verification and management data. The Society is considering the development of a building classification system that would require owners to continuously measure the performance of the central plant and regularly post updated efficiency levels.
