Causes of Cracks and Breakage in Coolrooms and Freezer Door Seals
27 June 2018
To say that your freezer or coolroom is an important part of your business would be an understatement. Having a proper location to store all of your foods or products that require extensive temperature cool is an integral factor for people in a variety of different industries. Coolrooms and freezers are employed in everything from medicine to food storage, and all of the different categories in between. Temperature control in these situations is a requirement and that means that special attention must be paid to the quality of door seals for the cooling and freezing facilities. When a door seal […]

Coolroom Safety Precautions for Employees
21 May 2018
Coolrooms don’t look all that dangerous. It’s freezing cold in there, especially inside a walk-in freezer, but the chill passes rapidly. The staff member gets in, collects or drops food, and is out again in no time at all. What about worst-case scenarios? They exist. And what about general precautions? They’re needed if the employee is to operate under an appliance-mandated umbrella of safety. Warehouse Coolroom Safety Sometimes the work area isn’t confined to a walk-in enclosure. Sometimes the chill is all around you. In some distant industrial complex, it’s a meat processing environment that’s feeling the chill. Plastic curtains […]

Health and Safety Prerequisites for a Coolroom Environment
07 May 2018
Businesses need to understand the health and safety prerequisites for a coolroom environment, before installing or refurbishing one in their establishment. They need to know that these rooms must stay at the right temperature for the items that will be stored in them. This will influence which type of coolroom that they need to install in their establishment. Also, these businesses need to train their employees of the dangers of these rooms in order to prevent issues and injuries. Refer to the following explanation for further facts about these and other prerequisites. Install the Right Size of Unit for Your […]

Effects of Bad Electrical Connection in Freezers and Coolrooms
26 April 2018
Operating a business isn’t easy, especially for all types of restaurants, cafeterias, convenience stores, or other food related establishments, that’s because they rely on the continuous functioning of freezers and coolrooms. When freezers and coolrooms do not function properly because of the effects of bad electrical connection, food related businesses are at great risk of losing business and valuable food stocks. The effects of bad electrical connection in freezers and coolrooms can literally drain a company of considerable money, and can cause machinery to malfunction or cease to function. This can adversely affect chilled and frozen foods, or cause an […]

Effects of Broken Gaskets in Freezers
10 April 2018
A broken freezer gasket is allowing warm air into a hard-working freezer. The compressor unit responds to the leak by working harder. It’s going to wear out soon unless the broken seal is replaced. Continuously operating compressors, pools of water, spoiled food, and increasing operational costs, all of these problems can be explained by calling out a service engineer, someone who’ll likely go straight to that broken gasket. Coping with Counterintuitive Effects If warm air is getting inside the freezer, why is the refrigeration unit gaining a layer of ice? Speaking plainly, the equipment is doing too much. It’s running […]

Why is it Important to Maintain PVC Strip Doors?
28 March 2018
For a safe and segregated work environment, it’s important to have a series of PVC strip doors that perform exactly as intended. In specially controlled coolrooms and freezers, that degree of performance proficiency assumes a critically important role, for the cold zones in here cannot be impacted by an exterior heat source. In light of this very real process-endangering threat, flexible plastic screen maintenance is a high-priority service. Damaged PVC Strip Doors Corrupt Coolrooms Picture a high-traffic area, a shielded threshold that uses one of these economic barriers. Manually operated pallet stackers push past the suspended plastic strips all day […]

The Importance of Temperature Consistency in Freezers and Coolrooms for Sterile Environments
15 March 2018
Temperature consistency is a factor that safely preserves the contents of a sterile environment. Think about a laboratory, a clinical domain. There are tissue samples stored in here, plus shelves of bacterial cultures. Every variable is controlled in here. Thanks to that carefully regulated laboratory setting, the biological samples behave in a predictable manner. Now, however, the lab freezer is breaking down. Temperature consistency has gone out the window. Introducing Experimental Bias The experiment is a bust. Those monitored results are meaningless because the intended thermal envelope became biased. That lab freezer or cooling chamber, designed to absolutely maintain a […]

Common Causes of Freezer Dripping and Not Reaching the Right Temperature
28 February 2018
A kitchen staff member has just reported a dripping freezer. The unit in question is creating a small pool on the floor. There’s no way that freezer is reaching the right temperature. Alarm bells go off in the kitchen manager’s head. If the equipment isn’t keeping its contents frozen, a dangerous hygiene jeopardizing incident could be brewing. Quick, time is of the essence, what’s causing the warming effect? A Damaged Thermostat Check the obvious causal factors before calling out an engineer. But be quick about it, this issue can’t be allowed to continue. Is the thermostat set at the right […]

How FLX Self Regulating Heater Cable Works
14 February 2018
Cables carry electricity. If they’re not conducting power, they’re supporting a load or retaining something. Just to mix things up a little, FLX self-regulating heater cables shy away from both of these applications. As the title implies, this type of stranded wiring is designed to emit thermal energy, which makes the product an ideal match for the coolroom industry. That being said, how do these self-regulating strands work? An introduction to Basic Electrical Principles What if we designed a circuit that was built to make heat? Well, it turns out this electrical part has been around for a long time. […]

Benefits of Blast Freezers
25 January 2018
An arctic chill sends the mercury level on a wall-mounted thermostat plummeting. The perishable contents inside the insulated storage unit freeze. This is a blast freezer, an environment that’s ruled by frigid power. In here, banks of fans force icy air across the food. Flash frozen in an instant, the cooling system does consume more energy than a conventional freezer, so what benefits offset this extra power expenditure? Supports Cellular Preservation Imagine a plate full of raspberries. Cooled inside a regular freezer, the water stored inside this succulent fruit expands. It turns to ice. The cell membranes of each juicy […]

Is There A Required Thickness in Commercial Coolroom and Freezer Glass Doors?
11 January 2018
Glass isn’t good at conducting heat. Take a look at a glass-lined thermos. It keeps its contents thermally stable for hours at a time. Glass windows do the same for the home, especially when they’re made from Low-E glass. How do coolrooms use this talent for minimizing energy losses? Well, transparent glass panels do materially maintain that cooling effect, but wouldn’t this insulation factor increase if the glass was thicker? The Effects of Thicker Coolroom Glass The contents of a cooler are shown off by glass doors. Thin or thick, the glass remains transparent. If a busy shopper wanders the […]
