The Cold Room Spares In Your Cold Room That Need Replacing

As cold storage experts, MTCSS understand how important it is to your business (and products) that your cold room solutions are running optimally and efficiently all year round.

Businesses need to ensure consistency with their high-quality products, so ensuring your cold room and all its elements are working correctly is extremely important. One way in which you can achieve this consistency is with cold room spares.

Cold room spares by MTCSS can help you to repair, replace and enhance elements of your cold room to improve their efficiency and lifeline.

Cold Room Spares in Walk-In Cold Rooms

MTCSS’ E-commerce shop has a large array of cold room spares and parts that span from cold room doors and cold room door handles, all the way to monoblock refrigeration systems and small ancillaries!

So, how do you know which cold room spares are more likely to need replacing? That’s where we come in.

Replacing Cold Room Spares In Your Cold Room

One major factor that will influence the cold room spares you require will depend on the individual components you have in your cold room.

Most cold rooms aren’t the same, as we design and install them to adhere to specific business requirements. However, the most common cold room spares that need replacing in walk-in cold rooms are:

1. Cold Room Door Gaskets
2. Internal Cold Room Curtains (Both insulated and non-insulated)
3. Floor Mounted Guide Shoes & Door Mounted Guide Rail
4. Cold Room Door Handles
5. Top Rollers
6. Door Frame Liners
7. Heater Systems (Applicable to freezer cold rooms. Including heater tape, junction boxes and transformers)
8. Cold Room Doors

Again, this will vary from cold room to cold room depending on your application and temperature range (EG; walk-in fridges won’t require heater systems, whereas walk-in freezers do!), so this list is not exhaustive.

Why Should You Replace Elements Of Your Cold Room?

Replacing parts of your cold room could be of huge benefit to you and is a beneficial practice to get into – especially if your business and products rely on a temperature-controlled environment.

Imagine you’re a farm shop that sell your own fresh dairy produce. You know that your dairy products require a constant temperature in order to prevent bacteria from growing and to ensure the quality is maintained.

Until one day your cold room temperature increases significantly, and you realise that your cold room door gasket has cracked and is letting in external air. With the help of cold room spares, and pre-stocking on key parts of your cold room, you’re able to solve your issue within a matter of minutes (as opposed to days) and protect your produce.

Not only this, but our cold room spares have a high cost-effectiveness, and could make the difference between a loss of stock! But why SHOULD you replace these cold room spares?

Cold Room Doors, Gaskets, Handles and Frame Liners

Your cold room door and its components are one of the most important contributors to maintaining your cold room’s temperature range. This is why it’s essential to stock up on cold room door spares, as they could help to prevent a potentially disastrous problem!

If your cold room door has incurred any damage, it will begin to lose structural integrity (and therefore, cause a reduction in its insulation capabilities). This can put your products into jeopardy, and compromise their quality due to the lack of thermal insulation and consistent temperature. Replacing your cold room door, if beyond repair, is a worthy investment for your business!

As well as cold room doors, replacing your cold room door gaskets, cold room door handles and frame liners is imperative. A broken cold room door gasket will allow the maintained air in your cold room to escape, increasing the number of further problems you will face in your cold room.

Failure to replace a broken cold room door handle and frame liner could have negative consequences. In terms of employee safety, your employees could get trapped in your walk-in fridge or walk-in freezer due to the handle and frame liner hindering their exit.

Just like your cold room, you should invest in your cold room doors and safety of your employees.

Heater Systems and Cold Room Curtains

When you’ve got a walk-in freezer, replacing your heater systems is an extremely important necessity. Due to the negative temperatures they maintain (anywhere from -0 degrees to -40 degrees) heater systems help to prevent any ice tracking/build up from within your freezer cold room.

An optimally functioning heater system will stop your cold room door gaskets from freezing to the cold room door frame, which in turn will protect your products and your cold room door!

Cold room curtains work in conjunction with your cold room door to add an additional layer of insulation and protect your products at the desired temperature.

However, if your insulated (or non-insulated) curtain is ripped or damage then this will allow air to escape and enter your cold room – causing your refrigeration units to work harder in order to refrigerate your products and potentially resulting in a loss of stock.

Replacing small cold room components like the above could save you money in the long-run, help to prevent disasters, prevent injuries and improve the quality of your products as a result.
