Modular Cold Room

Description

Cold Room Features
Cold rooms can have a lot of extra features to improve day to day operations and performance:

Most will come with an automatic defrost that actively melts ice.
All modern cold rooms will have an emergency escape, in the form of an internal button that opens the door. Some may also include a panic button inside.
Automatic or manual interior lights are usually fitted as standard.
If you use trolleys to load stock, a ramp can be added. This also helps to reduce the trip hazard from the raised door frame.
Self closing doors are sometimes present to help reduce running costs.
Cold Room Considerations
Before purchasing a cold room, there are a few key factors you’ll need to be aware of:

Your cold room can either be used as a walk in fridge or walk in freezer, and some models can be used as both. You’ll need to decide what you need for your business.
Your stock will be placed on shelving (also called racking), which ensures ingredients are easily accessible and the storage space is maximised. You can normally configure this however you like, so the shelving is often sold separately. As a cold room is a harsh environment, food acids, moisture and general usage can cause shelving to rust or break. It’s important you choose an option that is made from PVC or anodised aliminium which are resistant and strong.
You’ll need to know the ambient temperature around the walk in. The highest ambient temperature is the highest temperature the cold room can operate in before the internal temperature is affected. Most cold rooms operate in temperatures up to 32°C, but if you require a higher ambient temperature more powerful options are available.
You should consider ventilation, as cold rooms require a large amount around the unit so heat can be transferred to the outside. If your cold room is going to be installed indoors, you should consider what else is in the room and if it could affect performance. It shouldn’t be positioned in a confined area as it may not have enough ventilation to hold the correct temperature.

Cold Room Installation Procedure

If you would like to purchase a cold room from us, the first step will be to arrange a site survey. Here we’ll check what is suitable for your site and look at measurements, potential obstructions, ventilation and anything else that could affect the performance.

Once we determine a suitable location for the cold room, we can arrange installation at a time and date suitable for you.
