What to look for in commercial freezers
A successful kitchen runs like a well-oiled machine. Everything has its place and function. Each cog in the wheel needs to operate efficiently at all times. Commercial refrigeration should seamlessly integrate into the flow, enhancing and not detracting from the outputs of the kitchen.
Underbench freezers are an important piece to this. So how do you ensure maximum efficiency from your freezers? Opting for a premium solution can save you time, and money over the life of the cabinet.
Proven track record
While you might be able to pick up cheap freezers these days, it's important to consider the long-term repercussions of this. Freezers that come with a proven track record of reliance and long-standing quality will ultimately save you more money down the track. If you are able to get 10-15 years of life out of a premium product, you are saving thousands in replacement costs that a cheaper alternative would require.
Temperature performance
Ensuring your ingredients are at the perfect temperature, when you need them is so important to the flow of a kitchen. Temperatures that are off can delay production or even result in higher wastage. Find out where temperature ratings are taken from to ensure consistency throughout the cabinet.
Engineering excellence
Downtime to your equipment costs time and money so it's important to select freezers that aren't going to break down all the time. Well engineered products will have designed cabinets in ways that will minimise the risk of common failures due to things such as condenser build up or overheating. While your own cleaning and maintenance schedules are important in avoiding issues, engineering excellence also helps mitigate the risks.

“Choosing SKOPE was about design aesthetics, functionality, and also hygiene. But we also wanted to make sure we chose a product that we could clean easily and was from a brand that had a really fabled reputation founded on reliability.”
