Where Refrigerators Are Made

If you’re a late-night fridge-raider, it’s probably not the sight of your old food that haunts you in your sleep. Rather, it is the thought of what might happen if your fridge dies and won't open.

 That's because refrigerators serve more than just a convenient place to store leftovers: they also keep them fresh.

Many of us take our refrigerators for granted because the process of keeping food cold is a complex one that takes place in an intricate network of pipes and components.

This network is comprised of many different parts, all designed to keep food at the proper temperature and humidity levels to ensure that food stays fresh, cool and fresh-tasting.

The heart of a refrigerator is its sealed system, which captures the cold air swirling around inside it. The sealed system gathers this air in order to distribute it throughout the refrigerator.

To do this, it utilizes coils made from copper tubing called evaporator coils or evaporator cores.

 According to a report from the National Association of Home Builders, in 2013, refrigerator production reached a cumulative total of 435.7 million units sold. This is up 3% from 2012 and 12% from 2010.

In order to produce these refrigerators you will need some raw materials - wood, aluminum, copper, steel and plastic would be needed by a fridge manufacturer in an assortment of shapes and sizes such as boxes or rolls as well as screws - all including nuts and bolts which are bought in bulk before being organized into packages for shipping. These spent materials would be thrown away into dumpsters after being sorted by color or type.

Now let's follow the materials to a large factory where steel boxes are being made for the refrigerator industry. These boxes are about three feet long, two feet wide and three feet high.

The manufacturer has already bought a large amount of steel already cut into thin rectangular shapes (1/4" - 1.25") and bent into circles or squares. These are sorted by color or type and loaded onto trucks for shipping to the fridge company.

At the fridge company, another set of workers unloads the trucks, puts them in storage warehouses, then places them onto conveyor belts that carry them through a series of bolted machines that stamp out each box shape in chronological order.

The boxes are then checked to make sure they are of the same quality and being stacked in the correct order. The worker then places the boxes onto flat racks to be stored for future use.

There is now a need for box trays. Box trays are used for stacking several boxed together on a conveyor belt until they get too heavy and then another arm pushes them off into storage space where there is room for more.

Now let's follow some of these steel boxes on their journey from the factory to a furniture store that needs more refrigerators delivered. Many people are curious as to where refrigerators come from, and it is a question that's often answered with, "they're made in different factories."

Most people know that refrigerators are made by various companies but they don't always know who produces their favorite brand of refrigerator or when did manufacturing start.
