What to Consider When Buying a Commercial Refrigerator?

For the business owners and restaurant managers looking to ensure the food quality remains top-notch, investing in the right commercial refrigerator is vital. When it comes to food and consumables, a hasty decision is not ideal, and owners must select the best option. Whether that’s the large set of commercial freezers or the two-door sizes like a Skope 2 door fridge, many questions need to be answered first and a lot of factors to be looked over. 

Considering the large market sector of commercial refrigeration in Australia, there can be no doubt that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of models, designs and variants out there. Best not to get overwhelmed with the wide variety of purchase options available and take a look at these pointers to find the perfect fit: 

  1. The Type Of Food That Needs To Be Stored: Every food type has specific temperature limits to maintain if they’re not spoiled. Temperature requirements for pastries and cakes are different from those of frozen meat. Many of these variants can be seen in many Australian stores and kitchens where cold drinks have different freezers, ice creams will probably have deep freezing cabinets, and raw meat will have closed off freezers with thick walls. The type of food that needs to be stored will ultimately determine the type of freezing system or refrigerator required by the kitchen or the business. 
  2. The Size Of The Refrigerator: Analyse the total space of the kitchen and determine how much of it can be allocated for setting up a refrigeration unit. Smaller rooms will only fit small or unit sized refrigerators, and those with larger room space can add bigger fridges. Considering the size of the kitchen or how much food needs to be stored, Australian business owners can opt for a small or square-shaped freezer, a medium single door refrigerator or a two-door refrigerator like a Skope 2 door fridge. Take care not to let the refrigerator take up more space than required as it will hamper the kitchen space’s productivity and workflow. 
  3. Extra Features or Advanced In-built Tools: Customer-focused refrigerators are those that are usually seen in Australian stores displaying drinks, dairy products or other consumables. Ideally, they are only suited for keeping the products in cool conditions for the sake of purchase and have no place in the kitchen. Commercial refrigerators can also come with inbuilt freezers for ease of use, and owners can opt for them for more space. Additional features such as an extra layer of insulation, degree of energy efficiency, and defrosting can all influence the purchasing decisions, so choose what suits best for the products. A busy kitchen can also do well with refrigerators with self-closing doors to prevent obstructions to any production workflow. Speaking of productivity, an efficient lighting system is also important both for customer-oriented refrigerators and kitchen refrigerator models. Good and clear lighting will reduce the total time taken to find a specific product and add to the efficiency in the kitchen. Digital tools like built-in thermometers and fast freezing options are also beneficial. 

Make sure that the brand is well received and the refrigerator can be cleaned and maintained easily. Before deciding to buy a fridge, read through the warranty and other policies covered by the manufacturer. To make the best purchasing decisions, consider talking to an expert and listening to what they have to say. 

Be thorough with the product, as it will be an integral part of the kitchen for years to come.
