Coldroom

Find a coldroom to fit any requirement with Corr Chilled. We have Cold room sizes to fit any size of commercial kitchen. The commercial cold room is a piece of refrigeration equipment which can greatly improve the storage capacity in your Kitchen. Rooms are available in a chilled version or freezer version. Two types of refrigeration are available, integral, where the refrigerated unit is attached to the room itself, and remote where the refrigeration is sited away from the cold room on the outside of the building.

The integral coldroom does not involve engineering costs for the refrigeration, just the room itself and a pipe run does not have to be fitted. Potential drawbacks with this type of coldroom are that they draw their cold air from the room they are in. If the room is small or hot this can cause the integral refrigeration to not run as efficiently by drawing in its own hot air.

The advantage of the second type of coldroom is that the refrigeration is housed on the outside of the building. This allows the refrigeration to run on fresh cool air, any hot air is exchanged on the outside of the building. A remote coldroom requires installation by an engineer linking a pipe run from the room to the unit on the outside wall.

There are no restrictions on the size of room available. Coldroom sizes can vary from just larger than a normal sized fridge to large scale industrial cold room areas for distribution. On the smaller scale, a cold room can be an effective way for any establishment to increase its storage capacity and reduce its running costs. With only one power source but with the storage capacity of 2 or more standard fridges the coldroom can present a significant saving on running costs. Most coldroom designs work on a similar form with interlocking panels being brought together then a ceiling being added. Once erected the coldroom is chilled down to temperature using an internal fan. Produce is stored in the unit racking or shelves.

In a room designed for the storage of fresh meat this may include side racks and meat hooks as well as shelving. A standard design for a cold room door includes a safety lock to prevent anyone from being locked inside. Doors can either be hinged of sliding. Sliding doors are ideal for a cold room where the produce needs to be wheeled in by truck. For this a ramp may also be necessary. Corr Chilled supply rooms from well known brands such as Blizzard and Foster, These types of room can be from a standard sized range or made to order sizes to fit you specific space.
