Upgrading Your Cold Rooms & Improving Efficiency

Are you looking to upgrade your current cold storage now we are coming out of lockdown? With places now open and rules eased, shops, restaurants, hotels, pubs, and more establishments are beginning to fill up. And so is their cold storage.

Efficient cold storage which is working 24/7 is vital to a lot of businesses, especially those who produce, sell, or serve food. Fridges, freezers, and walk-in cold rooms which stop working, or work ineffectively, can result in the loss or spoilage of products – and with it, a loss of money.

But the MTCSS team are here to help. We have various solutions to upgrade your existing cold storage and to ensure your cold rooms are working 24/7, 365 days of the year.

Upgrading From Commercial Fridge Freezers To A Walk-In Cold Room

If your business currently uses multiple standalone commercial fridges and freezers, swapping these for a walk-in cold room could be more beneficial for a multitude of reasons:

Improves energy efficiency – installing a walk-in chiller or freezer is often more energy efficient than using plug in fridges and freezers.
More space – a walk-in cold room means you will have more space to store your products on a day-to-day basis.
Easy organisation – organise your food and drink products more easily and effectively, especially with the help of cold room ancillaries such as shelving and racking.
Can be placed outside or built into spaces – walk-in cold rooms can be designed and built to make the most of the space you have available. They can be built externally if you have space outside the building, or we can build them to fit into a space internally.

Refurbishing Your Existing Cold Room

If you already have a cold room which has seen better days, but just needs a pick me up – we can refurbish your existing walk-in cold room to ensure it is fully functioning and efficient. This will:

Improve energy efficiency – we will ensure your doors are sealing correctly, your refrigeration unit is working optimally and take the measures to make your cold room as energy efficient as possible.
Improve safety – by repairing cold room doors we ensure they are easy to open and seal well, reducing the risk of staff being trapped in your cold room, or injuring themselves when pulling the door open. We will also repair any trip hazards and other areas which could pose a health and safety risk.
Improve appearance – your cold room may look a bit tired and worse for wear. We can give the cold room a deep clean, add hygienic planking, door / wall protection and replace the floor to give it a new lease of life.

Upgrading / Expanding Your Existing Cold Room

There are a few options when it comes to upgrading or expanding your existing cold room and it all comes down to your budget, the space available, the state of your existing cold room and what size requirements you have.

Remove panels and expand the existing room – in some cases, we can build onto an existing cold room, by removing existing panels and continuing the run of panels to form a large space. This is dependent on the space you have available and the state of your existing cold room.
Remove and rebuild your cold room – for this option, we would remove your existing cold room and rebuild a new cold room with your new cold room requirements in mind.
Modular cold room to bespoke cold room – building a new bespoke cold room to replace your modular cold room can be an option to use your space more effectively, as bespoke cold rooms can be built to any size and fit in specific spaces.
