While we all know and love our household fridges, have you ever wondered what a commercial fridge does? In this blog post, we will give five examples of businesses that benefit from a type of industrial refrigeration service.
Supermarkets
The majority of the UK population regularly visits supermarkets to buy items in bulk. The high level of demand results in a requirement for efficient storage solutions for chilled and frozen goods. Supermarkets often use several types of commercial fridges, but most commonly these are display units and walk-in fridges and freezers. Display units allow customers to easily distinguish between different products, and walk-in refrigerators allow staff to store and easily access excess goods.
Art Galleries
You might think commercial fridges are only used in the hospitality business, however, art galleries benefit enormously from these temperature-controlled solutions. As art comes in many mediums, it’s important to find the right way of storing the precious goods. Some older and precious pieces of art require cooler climates, to protect their delicateness. Other pieces of art might specifically be designed to stay beneath a certain temperature, such as ice sculptures, making commercial fridges invaluable.
Restaurants
When working in food service, it’s vital to keep different foods at the right temperature. Restaurants have a legal obligation to ensure food safety is adhered to, which includes keeping chilled food items 8℃ or below. This is why many restaurants and cafés keep walk-in freezers and fridges, as large storage solutions that keep food easily accessible.
Pharmacies and Labs
While many medications can be stored at room temperature, some specialist pharmaceuticals need to be stored at a certain temperature to remain effective. This is also true of test samples, which can become contaminated or untestable when left in the wrong environment. Pharmacies and labs alike therefore have commercial refrigeration solutions installed to keep their medicines and samples at the optimal temperature.
Bakeries
Nothing can feel quite as good as visiting a brand-new bakery. To show off their wares while keeping their food at safe temperatures, many bakeries opt to have commercial refrigerated display units installed. This helps customers compare and choose between different products and options while ensuring the food remains safe to eat. They can also brighten up a small space, making the room feel bigger than it is. Display cabinets are usually positioned where the staff members can easily access the goods too, meaning employees can spend less time travelling back and forth from the back of house areas.
