As the industry leading insulated panel manufacturer for cold storage, KPS Global provides multiple cold storage panel types for different applications including urethane Cam-Lock panels and EPS IMP Panels. Each panel offers different features and benefits to ensure we can meet the need of any project requirement while optimizing frame type and cost.
CAM LOCK PANELS
Cam-lock panels for cold storage are insulated with closed-cell polyurethane, the best insulation used in this industry. Closed-cell polyurethane has an R-value of 8.06 per square inch. Our cam-lock technology allows for an airtight seal between panels to keep the temperature-controlled environment as stable as possible. To create a flush profile, a tongue and groove system interlocks the panels with Camlock technology. This allows an airtight seal ensuring proper temperature maintenance for the products stored within.
KPS Global offers our patented FUSIONFRAME®, combining the structural benefits of wood and the high performing insulative properties of Urethane foam, enhancing performance and energy saving of cold storage applications.
Expanded Polystyrene IMP Panels (EPS)
KPS Global offers expanded polystyrene IMP panels for cold storage called Continuous Line Panels. These cold storage panels allow for large build-outs due to the maximum span of 45 feet per panel. They are offered in thicknesses of 2” to 10”. These panels, also known as CLP are cost-efficient and offer more flexibility for installation. EPS panels have an interlocking connection system at the joints. EPS panels are popular as they are easy to install and cost effective for interior cold storage applications. EPS wall panels can be combined with cam-lock panels to optimize project costs.
Comparison Of EPS IMP Vs Cam-lock Panels
While KPS Global offers a variety of products including IMPs and Cam-lock panels, our team of engineers and designers carefully consider all project specifications before recommending the appropriate panel for your project. Some of the factors that are taken into consideration are R-value requirements, panel sizing, and job site conditions.
R-value of each panel varies depending on the frame type, foam insulation, and thickness of the panels.
KPS Global offers cam-lock panels in a single span length with the maximum unsupported and supported height of 26’ with thicknesses offered from 3.5” to 5”
Needing a longer span? Consider insulated metal panels. The single span length of EPS IMPs unsupported is 30′ with a 10″ thick, 24 gauge metal with a maximum of 45′ high.
The cam-lock technology pairs with the tongue and groove system to ensure an airtight fit between panels and a strong connection. Cam-lock panels are mainly used for small to medium warehouses, complex multi-rooms, and Cold storage. One of the superior benefits of the cam-lock panels is the unlimited possibility of customization however it should be noted that all customization is done during the design and manufacturing process, unlike insulated metal panels that are cut in the field for onsite customization.
While both cold storage panel types can be used in similar applications and even used cohesively as a box in a box solution to meet the need of multiple projects within a warehouse.
Common applications for cam-lock panels include:
- Small to medium warehouses
- Complex multi-rooms
- Cold Storage
Common applications for IMPs include:
- Large Warehouses
- Processing Facilities
- Extreme-Height Cold Storage
Our IMP panels are equipped with a lock and groove system that allows for airtight seals between the long spans of these panels. One of the main benefits of insulated metal panels is that they allow for long spans for large projects and are cost-effective.
