Commercial cold rooms are a must for the catering industry or any organisations concerned with large scale food supply. They provide vital storage at optimum temperatures in order to keep food fresh, limit waste and to meet required safety standards. Commercial cold rooms, however, are not just limited to edible goods, as they have a much wider use. They are necessary to keep medical or laboratory supplies at the right temperatures, and are also used by plant and flower suppliers.
Here is a guide to the types of solutions available and the particular features a business may look for when choosing a refrigeration product for their business.
Modular Cold Rooms
Modular cold rooms are large scale, or commercial refrigeration rooms. They are extremely versatile as they are supplied in flat-pack form and depending on the manufacturer, come in several hundred variations to suit individual requirements. Made up of standard sized panels, the floor, ceiling and walls can be easily locked together to create a refrigeration room tailored to specific needs and to suit the space the customer has available. A modular room gives the customer all the benefits of a custom-built refrigeration solution, but without the additional expense.
Modular rooms can freeze or chill at any temperature. They are mostly used for food storage, although they can be used for chemical and laboratory supplies and for cut-flowers, seeds and other organic produce.
Combi Cold Rooms
Some businesses, especially in the catering industry, need to keep their stock at different temperature ranges (chilled or frozen for example). The solution is either to have separate cold rooms, or have a combi room: a combination room with separate temperature zones inside. These combi rooms take up less space than having separate cold rooms, so are perfect when space is at a premium.
Combi rooms are usually divided into two rooms. The external door generally leads to the warmest of the rooms, typically the chiller zone. A door in the wall of the chiller zone leads to the freezer section. Both rooms are controlled by separate refrigeration units for ease of use, safety and reliability.
Industrial Cold Rooms
Industrial cold rooms can be vast as they are designed to deal with much larger quantities of goods. While combi and modular rooms are used mainly for personnel access, industrial cold rooms provide a solution for bulk storage. Industrial rooms might need vehicle access, such as fork lift trucks, to transport the goods in or out. They may also need different design features, such as pallet racking or wider doors because of the different access and storage requirements.
Industrial cold rooms will be made to measure to suit a customer's unique requirements and the space they have available.
Choosing a Cold Room
When choosing a solution to keep your chilled and frozen stock cold, it is first essential to decide whether you require a walk in cold room, or whether the quantity of goods is not enough for this. If this is the case, a large commercial refrigeration cabinet could provide the answer and be a cheaper alternative, also taking up less space.
The benefit of walk-in rooms is that goods are easily accessible and more visible to staff, The result is improved business efficiency and a reduction in waste as there are no unreachable products left in the back of the cabinet.
When it comes to choosing a product, another decision a business will need to make is how much insulation they need. The standard thickness is generally 80 mm, but designs can be bought with more than this.
Additional insulation is more expensive but the cost is off-set by greater efficiency of the room.
The thicker the insulation, the less heat enters into the room, so less power is needed to maintain the correct internal temperature. This results in lower running costs. The estimated payback period for buying a solution with higher insulation is somewhere around ten years. This makes it a cost effective choice as these products generally have a life span of between 10 - 20 years.
Consider also whether you
need an insulated floor. An insulated floor is needed for medium and freezer rooms, in order to keep products at the right temperature; however it is not necessarily required for a chiller room.
A floorless room is cheaper to install, but the benefit of insulated flooring is greater energy efficiency which again means reduced running costs.
However floorless rooms allow for better trolley access as there are no steps to negotiate. Trolleys can include cages used for milk, yoghurt and butter deliveries, or trolleys used for plated meals.
