When Amazon decided to add a grocery department to their San Bernardino fulfillment center, they knew they would need to install plumbing for the refrigeration units. Unfortunately, the facility’s thick, structural slab made cutting and trenching particularly expensive.

Source Refrigeration recognized the mechanical design challenges and saw that vacuum plumbing would solve these issues.

“The AcornVac^® vacuum plumbing system helped Amazon achieve their mission because it’s a non-invasive product. You can install it in any location, you don’t have to rip up floors, so Amazon is able to move merchandise through many other areas without extensive plumbing.”
