It is the start of a New Year and you are probably busy making plans for your business for the year ahead. But does your walk-in cold room get a look into these plans? Your chiller and freezer cold room is an important aspect of keeping your business running smoothly, so it should form part of your plan.
Check Your Cold Room For Signs Of Wear
If you have an existing walk-in chiller or freezer cold room (or maybe both!) then making sure it is working efficiently should be high on your priority list. If you cold room is working inefficiently this could have a detrimental effect that may become hard to ignore. Regularly checking your cold room is a way to check on its health. For example:
- cold room panels – are the panels free from any dents/gouges/other damage?
- cold room door – is this opening easily and safely? Are the cold room handles fixed and operational? Are the door gaskets in good condition?
- cold room floor panels – are they non-slip and well maintained?
- is the cold room free from any signs of ice build-up around the cold room door or floor?
- is the temperature of the cold room what it should be?
If the answer to any of the questions above is no, it may be time for a cold room refurbishment. Not only does cold room refurbishment ensure your temperature control is working optimally, it also ensures your staff and teams members are kept safe. Cold room refurbishments ensure any potential health and safety risks are resolved.
The team at MTCSS can help you with cold room refurbishment – you can send pictures of your cold room to sales@mtcss.flywheelsites.com or fill in one of our enquiry forms, then we can assess the work that needs to be carried out to get your cold room back to full health.
Have You Outgrown Your Existing Cold Room?
Maybe you are considering expanding or growing your business in 2022, so you need to expand your cold storage solutions. The MTCSS team can help you decide the best solution to your cold room requirements – we are here to solve your problems, after all!
There are several options when it comes to expanding your existing cold rooms if you’ve outgrown them, or you simply need a new walk-in cold room.
- design and build new internal chiller or freezer cold rooms
- install an external weatherproof cold room
- remove and dispose of your existing cold room to build a bigger, better version
- increase the size of your existing cold room
In some cases where you have an existing cold room in good condition, we can increase the size of the cold room with additional panel, or we can dismantle and relocate your cold room if your business expansion means a change of location.
Whatever your problem, MTCSS will come up with a solution.
Refurbish Or Replace Your Cold Room?
Refurbishing your existing cold room can be more cost effective if it’s still in good condition, but it needs some work to ensure it is running as efficiently as possible. Refurbishing your cold room can have various benefits, including:
- improve efficiency
- reduce energy bills
- improve its safety
- protect your staff and products
- ensure your cold room passes audits
In some cases, cold room refurbishment isn’t the best option – for example, if the cold room panels are severely damaged; if your cold room isn’t functioning or insulating correctly; or if the structure of the walk-in cold room is compromised.
MTCSS can survey your cold rooms to help you decide the best course of action and to understand how we can best help you.
