Important Factors to Consider When Selecting Cold Room Storage

When you're looking for cold room storage space, you very likely have a very specific need for the cold storage unit.

There are a few things that you need to look out for to make sure that you get cold storage space that is perfect for your company, or you run the risk of your cold storage not being adequate, leading to the loss of a significant amount of stock.

Read on to find out more about cold room storage, and some of the factors that you need to keep an eye on to make sure you make the right decisions.

Size

The first key feature in picking out the right cold room for you is the size and the amount of product you can fit in a cold room. This is something of a Goldilocks situation, as a cold room that is too small has obvious issues and will not have enough room for all of the products that you need to store.

Meanwhile, a cold room that is too large will eat up a significant amount of energy, pushing a large cost on your business which could be an issue in the long term.

Finding a cold room that's the perfect size may be a struggle, but once you get it right a lot of your cold storage problems will be solved.

Temperature

There are several different types of cold rooms and each will store your products in a different way. For example, chicken products that are prepared well in advance should be stored in a freezer room, but accidental storage in a refrigerated room may lead to them exceeding a safe temperature.

This could put your patrons at risk and is a big issue for your company. Meanwhile, putting refrigerated goods in a freezer can severely impact product quality, and add defrosting times to your processes.

This is why using the right cold rooms can make a fundamental difference to the way your company works, as getting it wrong could cripple your efficiency.

Energy Efficiency

The final thing you need to consider in your selection of cold room storage is the energy efficiency you can expect to see from the unit. Any unit can get down to the temperature that you desire given enough power, but this can often be a problem in itself.

The world is trying to become more sustainable, so installing a cold room that churns through an untold amount of energy is counterproductive. Instead, you should look for a cold room storage solution that is more efficient and does the same job with less energy.

Not only is this good for the environment, but it's far better for keeping your budgets balanced.
