Energy saving and food storage
Thermocold products place a strong focus on the best possible storage of food and raw
ingredients in corner refrigerators and cold rooms.
Energy-saving measures:
•
If the door stands open, this will increase running hours and energy consumption.
•
Good tidiness is required for the air to circulate properly.
Tips for storing food:
The temperature will vary from bottom to top. This is because food goods will best be stored
at different temperatures. Proper storage is essential for preserving taste and for maintaining
the shelf life of food goods.
In short, we recommend the following:
Milk, meat and bread topping products shall be placed so that there is proper circulation
around the products, allowing for quicker cooling.
Vegetables that contain a lot of water should be packed in plastic or freezer bags,
e.g., carrots and cucumbers.
We recommend placing other vegetables in plastic containers with lids.
This also applies if you store fruit such as apples, oranges, salad and tomatoes.
Potatoes should be kept in light-proof sacks or in light-proof boxes with lids.
This is to protect the goods from cold circulating air and to provide additional protection
against the loss of moisture, in addition to the plastic packaging.
As maintaining good hygiene in the room is important, the walls have a food-safe protective
surface, reducing bacterial growth and making it easier to clean surfaces.
A full overview of the storage of the most common products can be found on Thermocold’s
website.
