What should I consider when choosing commercial refrigeration?
- Consider whether your commercial refrigeration will be generating revenue in your front-of-house, or maximising productivity in your back-of-house operations.
- With upright fridges and freezers for example, this will determine whether you prioritise improving visual display of merchandise, or maintaining performance by keeping your refrigeration components away from dirt, dust and grime.
- Evaluate how much space and features you will need based on your merchandising strategy, product types, sales turnover and inventory storage needs. Wellkart provides a complete range of commercial refrigeration equipment of varying sizes and configurations suited to your needs.
- Identify where to position your unit for ease of access, operations and maintenance. Always ensure you have provided sufficient clearance to allow ventilation to the compressor and condenser coils. Please ensure your refrigeration unit is not fully enclosed by cabinetry, or placed directly next to cooking equipment that may create concentrated hot zones.
- Please measure and check product and packaged dimensions before ordering to ensure sufficient clearance to fit through all doorways, corners and pathways into your premises.
Please Contact Us if you have any questions on which refrigeration equipment is right for your business needs.
