If you’re a business owner who relies on commercial refrigeration, then you are aware that it’s one of the backbones of your business. It preserves perishables, ensuring you don’t have to scramble to sell off your stock before it goes bad. Given the importance of commercial refrigeration, it’s equally important to get the best out of it.
One way to do so is through proper placement. We often underestimate placement, yet it could be the difference between your perishables staying preserved for weeks or spoiling after two days. You should always kept a few things in mind to ensure you get the best placement for your commercial refrigeration:
- Positioning and spacing. Commercial refrigeration units don’t usually work well near heat sources. So, it would be best to place your unit away from cooking appliances and direct sunlight to ensure it operates at room temperature. Additionally, you should allow sufficient clearance spacing between the fridge and any surrounding obstacles so that it circulates air effectively for ventilation.
- Space. Space and spacing might look similar, but technically they’re not. Your business’ needs and the size of your premises entirely determine space. For instance, you would be better off installing a walk-in commercial refrigeration unit if you run a restaurant. On the other hand, a smaller grocery store may be better served by a reach-in unit so that your clients can easily access items.
