Functions of Coolroom Panels
09 August 2016
If we were to classify coolroom panels as little more than a series of insulated wall segments, we’d be doing these state-of-the-art composite units a disservice. Yes, each rectilinear component is designed as part of a jigsaw-like build, one that precisely maintains the chilly environment within the coolroom, but it’s also imbued with other talents. We’ll begin with durability. Layered with Structurally Adept Innards Multiple layers define coolroom panels. Fused together to create an engineered whole, the sandwiched filling uses a multipurpose recipe, with the steel front face serving as a mechanical barrier. The impact of a metal catering trolley […]

What’s In A Freezer? A Discussion on the Parts That Make It Work
25 July 2016
Find a large room with plenty of open floor space because we’re going operate on a restaurant-grade walk-in freezer. Dismantled and laid out in a sprawling range of disparate components, all of the freezer parts will fill a substantial chunk of factory floor real estate, so let’s watch our step. The Structural Anatomy of Freezers The modular configuration separates as a series of floor-to-ceiling panels. Additional ceiling and floor panels incorporate apertures for refrigeration units and drainage ports. The floor in this design is typically equipped with a slip-resistant lining, perhaps patterned metal extrusions or a mineral-coated resin. Inside the […]

Why is it Ideal for Businesses to Have Customised Freezers and Coolrooms?
18 July 2016
A hotel owner builds with a passion that ensures every room is fit for a king. It’s the same with the restauranteur, the host who serves fine foods and edible delicacies, except this owner lavishes attention on the dining area. Kitchens are treated with equal care, but their form is dictated by other factors. Additionally, the layouts of food preparation and storage areas are monopolised by function, the location of pipes and other utility zones. Preparation spaces must scale to suit this carefully managed commercial environment, so customised freezers and coolrooms defer to these work-specific layouts. Of course, there’s more […]

Common Causes of Temperature Malfunctions in Freezers and Coolrooms
23 June 2016
Given that freezers and coolrooms are built to exacting engineering standards, they rarely break down. The sealed chambers maintain a uniform chill around the clock, a level of determined functionality that relies on a high-quality mechanical and electrical design. Unfortunately, even a brief interruption during a lengthy cooling cycle can compromise stored content, which, basically, is why temperature malfunctions cannot be tolerated. Let’s look at the common reasons for such glitches so that we can add them to a predictive maintenance program. Basic Electrical Problems If the temperature is on the rise, troubleshoot the electrical system. A quick look at […]

Boosting Coolroom Efficiency using Renewable Energy
08 June 2016
The fundamental goal of an energy awareness strategy is to use our finite resources responsibly. In reaching this worthy goal, we audit our most energy-intensive appliances and optimise prominent wattage gluttons, but what comes next? Next comes supplemental energy aids, a program that partners traditional power sources with a switch to renewable energy. Reduce Power Grid Loads We need the net output of our coolrooms to maintain a set frosty temperature. That’s an inviolable rule, one set in place to ensure our perishable commodities remain safely fresh and bacteria-free. Still, coolroom efficiency can be optimized in several ways, thus bringing […]

Why Freezer and Coolroom Parts Matter?
31 May 2016
Most businesses can forgive temporary service interruptions. Production lines get a chance to rest and the equipment cools down. Everything is put on pause. Conversely, a system disruption that affects a temperature-controlled environment is bound to cause alarm. Protecting Perishable Commodities Freezer and coolroom scenarios are designed to maintain a chilly climate around the clock, but the system is only as good as the sum of its parts, which means that any weak link could be enough to cost a business everything. Once humbled, the equipment is just an insulated room, a sealed space where food will spoil and sensitive […]

Maximising Freezer and Coolroom Capacity for Commecial Business Owners
10 May 2016
In leveraging every square centimetre of available space in a coolroom, business owners adopt a three-dimensional storage strategy. They do this to save energy and maximize freezer and coolroom capacity. First of all, if the stored items, food or other perishables, were to be placed on the floor, then thermal leakage would take place unless the floor was insulated. So we return to the notion of raising storage upward, of adding shelves and specially designed racks. The eddying currents of cool air do the rest, circulating around the enclosed chamber. Of course, these are no ordinary storage racks. Maximize Floor […]

At What Temperature Should Cut Flowers and Foliage Be Stored?
22 April 2016
When restaurants and markets preserve food and drink, they employ coolrooms and freezers, sealed spaces that deliver carefully channelled quantities of refrigerated air. The meat and vegetables cool, the drinks chill, and the resulting environment maintains an ever-fresh climate. Now we turn to other commodities, to blossoming flowers and freshly cut foliage, to biological matter that’s still growing. Coolroom temperature management in this environment is no less exacting than the methodology applied to food, except it’s the management of a plant’s life cycle that concerns us in this instance. Setting the Temperature If the temperature strays from accepted margins, flowers […]

Benefits of Energy Saving Audits for Freezers and Coolrooms
08 April 2016
While it may sound like a wild term, one that unwittingly connects financial earnings to cooling equipment, energy audits actually represent a purposeful methodology. The study analyses freezers and coolrooms, inspecting every system in the unit for energy loss sources. Building Your Efficiency Roadmap Every business venture survives on its wits, but financial acumen is a little harder to account for when large equipment enters the equation. An energy saving audit equals an opportunity to look at the big picture and see where wasted energy is escaping. Actual energy expenditure is calculated on an electrical scale and converted into mechanical […]

Significance of Coolroom Temperature and Maintenance for Medicines and Laboratories
22 March 2016
Clinical environments are extremely sensitive to temperature changes, but the reagents, blood samples, bodily fluids, and medicines held here are guaranteed to remain stable because they’re protected by a special storage unit. That means the samples are stored in a precisely controlled cooling chamber, a setting that has finitely adjustable climate controls. In fact, whether we’re discussing medicines or biological samples, coolroom temperature and maintenance administration will keep these sensitive materials stable thanks to the provision of a fractional climate management solution. Microbial Debilitating Environments Prevail A precise thermostat is key in this circumstance, as it forms the core of […]

Coolroom Parts and Accessories: Why Quality Comes First?
09 March 2016
An emphasis on quality can make the difference between healthy and hazardous when it comes to sealed climate controlled areas. It’s practically an ethical demand, the need to build the chamber so that the temperature is controlled, the food is properly cooled, and beverages stay cool without freezing. Words like reliability and consistency come to mind, and those terms lead on to other words, to mechanical certitude, material durability, and an overall design that incorporates superior parts. Of course, now that this self-contained chilly environment is working optimally, the worst thing to do would be to replace any of these […]

Keeping Food Fresh With the Perfect Freezer and Coolroom Temperature
24 February 2016
Drastic temperature reductions are used to prevent food from spoiling, but the cooling mechanism requires control in order to maintain the contents of the storage unit properly. Whether those contents are frozen or cooled, the freshly stored food must be maintained by the correct freezer and coolroom temperature management system. Frosty Sub-zero Temperature Control A frozen environment is one that’s locked at a negative value on the centigrade scale. The air is cooled by powerful compressors and sent through vents to freeze the cellular structure of the food, sealing in the flavour. The temperature typically drops to a frosty -10°C […]
