Common Products That Are Kept In Coolrooms to Retain Freshness
06 August 2015
A coolroom is an invaluable resource. The optimal temperature within the room hovers between +0°C and +4°C, thus keeping perishable items safely stored and water chilly but fluid. This is the sweet spot for keeping wine and beverages cold but still ice-free. These bottled alcoholic beverages and their non-alcoholic relatives make for a straightforward example of a product that can be seen every day within coolroom enclosures. But, not content to settle on bottled liquids, we want to pose other questions, inquiries that will clarify what other exotic products can be legally stored in coolrooms. Without further ado, let’s explore […]

What Are The Basic Components Of A Freezer?
21 July 2015
A handful of mechanisms can be quoted by historians as major life-changers, the devices that granted us dominion over a higher quality of life. A machine that can turn water into ice and change a swelteringly hot room into an icy chamber definitely makes it onto this list. A freezer achieves this modern magic by taking advantage of the laws of thermodynamics. On looking behind the metaphorical curtains, the magic is really more of a scientific principle, one known as heat transferal through the compression and expansion of chemical gases. The components in this cooling and heating cycle harness some […]

What Are The Basic Components of A Coolroom?
14 July 2015
A coolroom is classed as an enclosed construct, a room that maintains a climate controlled environment. The temperature encountered in this space is set above freezing point and below 4°C, thus ice does not form. Capable of keeping shelved food or pharmaceuticals stably stockpiled for extended periods of time, these enclosures are found in hotels, restaurants, markets, and medical laboratories. They play a prominent role in everything from the storage of consumer products, including beverages and groceries, and extend their functionality to the containment of medical-grade drugs. Undoubtedly classed as an essential storage space within any commercial venture, coolrooms are […]

Your Basic Guide to Coolroom and Freezer Maintenance
18 June 2015
As owners of large equipment, we’ve all been guilty at some point of exiling maintenance procedures to the shadows while the spotlight of attention is kept on installation procedures and repairs. Well, at least in the case of walk-in coolrooms, this indolent attitude can’t be afforded when perishable contents are at risk. Hygiene is the number one factor to consider here, with breakdowns and excessive energy expenditure trailing in slightly behind this environmental issue. In other words, you want to keep the machinery fully functional, saving cash on utility bills and avoiding expensive breakdown due to a faulty condenser unit, […]

Basic Tips to Help you Determine the Type of Coolroom you Need for your Business
03 June 2015
Apart from the industrial-grade appliances that populate your kitchen, you know, the ones that cook huge quantities of food for your hungry guests, a walk-in coolroom or freezer is the biggest investment you’ll make. As such, you need to make your buying decision based on certain factors. These include but are not limited to what’s being stored in the room and whether a combination workflow is to be put in place by the kitchen manager. We’ll come back to this latter factor further on in our discussion. Learn what features and factors determine the type of cooling space you’ll adopt. […]

How Does Wrong Insulation Affect Coolrooms and Freezers?
20 May 2015
A number of environmental factors are known to affect large-scale insulation strategies. So, how does wrong insulation affect coolrooms and freezers? There’s that single glaring consideration, the image of lost energy due to thermal leakage. The wrong type of panel has been installed, and it’s either too thin or built from substandard materials that aren’t designed to maintain the climate set by a cooling thermostat. This lack of protection causes a subsequent rise in your electrical bill to offset the losses, leading to an inefficient setup. An energy audit will illustrate this activity along an axis of time, showing transient […]

How to Determine the Right Coolroom and Freezer Temperature for your Products
06 May 2015
Temperature is a considerable factor when selecting a coolroom or freezer. While a coolroom is intended to keep its contents cool (like a home fridge), a freezer must actually freeze the contents and maintain a temperature below zero. Coolrooms and freezers must be constructed in accordance with Health Department standards. Freezers require more wall insulation and different floor construction than coolrooms. High thermal and insulation panels control temperature and humidity. Sandwich-type panels made of continuous lamination that bonds sturdy aluminium or colorbond to both sides of a polystyrene core is a preferred construciton. This type of panel is strong, durable, […]

Main difference Between Coolrooms and Freezers
30 April 2015
We’ve covered a few of the obvious differences between coolrooms and freezers. The two labels actually clue us in to those surface features, but now it’s time to get down to details. It’s no longer enough to point at one and think ‘cool,’ then gesture at the opposing model while thinking ‘freeze.’ So, without further ado, let’s tag these two cold storage forms with some hard numbers. A coolroom floats ambient temperatures above freezing point, sending the mercury level of the storage thermostat down to between +2°C and +4°C. We’d define this storage space as cool or cold and use […]

What products are to be kept in freezers?
07 April 2015
C&M Coolroom Services has a responsibility to manufacture high-end coolrooms and freezers. These walk-in rooms and cupboard-sized spaces are expertly sealed and professionally fabricated to adhere to hygiene standards while fulfilling their principle role. In the case of an efficient freezer, these design factors keep temperatures low, maintaining a climate that would be drawn as a flat line if a record of internal climate changes was to be monitored. Such design examples are patently desirable if the multiplication of bacteria is to be outright annulled. All of the above factors are part of the design specifications of the unit, which […]

Coolroom Construction and Installations Services in Victoria
25 March 2015
The coolroom market is formed from high capacity refrigeration units, solid chambers that are mechanically and electrically tied to efficient air-cooled condensers. The unrefined models that first gave birth to the industry were built from metal rooms lined in wood and sealed by hinged doorways. Hunks of ice provided the cooling force within these early models and they were generic though functional answers during the pioneering days of food preservation. Fast forward to today, to Victoria and Australia, and the industry has been redefined by new technology. Compact walk-in coolers and massive coolrooms in Victoria are intelligently built to hold […]

Energy Saving Audit by C&M Coolroom Services
13 March 2015
Energy is a finite resource on our planet. We live and work by this statement, recognizing that there’s no true separation between the two. Indeed, unless we all address energy-saving issues with thoughtfulness and a constant awareness of where energy is going, the act of living becomes that much harder and expensive. These core values have already been covered in past articles, but we intend to take the auditing process to the next level in this article. Firstly, we serve the spirit of the highest energy-saving practices by underscoring the purpose of an audit. The label simply refers to the […]

Practical Applications of Coolrooms
24 February 2015
Mankind’s dominion over the environment is our greatest feat. We can light the night and warm our homes, but what of the indirect temperature management solutions we’ve created? Science has harnessed differing facets of environmental engineering to create enclosed spaces where we can dictate our own climates and maintain precisely monitored cooling systems that sit at or below freezing point. It’s by the use of coolrooms that we accomplish this frosty goal. The twofold science behind the coolroom is keyed to the provision of adequate insulation and the incorporation of a refrigeration system, a scaled version of the compressor and […]
