Reliable performance, guaranteed

With features like Copeland scroll compressors, stainless steel evaporators, and high-density polyethylene reservoirs, our chillers are built for durability and efficiency. Backed by a solid warranty, you can trust rite-temp to keep your business running smoothly.

Dry cleaning equipment needs chilled water to function properly. This was usually done by drawing tap water and then depositing the used water back in in the sewer system which was very costly in monthly water and sewer rates. Most have gone away from this type of cooling practice and now rely on chillers to provide a closed loop of re-circulated water to cool their dry cleaning machines. 

With wash loads can average to about 500 pounds per load, a superior dry-cleaning water chiller is needed to to produce an economical solution while remaining eco-friendly.

Rite-temp has been a leader in meeting the ever changing needs of the industry for the past six decades.  We look forward to what changes are in the future and plan to help drycleaners meet them head on.

Dry Cleaning Features

Rite-temp is proud to announce that we have developed a new chiller with the dry cleaning industry in mind. For the first time in 72 years, Rite-temp is offering an open style tank instead of our traditional forty-gallon closed cylinder as a standard model rather than a custom order unit.

The new ETL listed DCS line of chillers offers a rectangular-shaped stainless steel tank with our time tested coil in tank design. This is the same coil that has been used in every Rite-temp chiller manufactured since 1948. As with all other Rite-temp chillers, it is produced from the ground up in our factory here in Northwest Arkansas.

The new DCS chiller line is available in 6, 8, 10, and 12 tons. The advantage of the new open tank is that it allows for a larger volume of water in the tanks. Our DCS-6-230 (six-ton) comes with an 82-gallon reservoir. The DCS-8, 10, and 12 models have a 105-gallon tank that they share in common.

Since all tanks come with removable lids, they can be easily cleaned and serviced. The new tanks come fully insulated to help with efficiency. Along with our new open tank, you will still get the best components available in the industry. And, as with our RT series, we use Copeland compressors, Sporlan valves, and our custom-built condenser fan motor by Baldor electric. Sta-rite pumps keep water moving from our chiller to your cleaning machines so that you can focus on taking care of your customer's needs rather than worrying about your equipment.
