Where to Put Your Commercial Refrigerator

When designing your commercial kitchen, it's imperative that you carefully consider where you'll position any commercial refrigeration equipment. This includes refrigerators, freezers and ice machines. Follow these layout tips for a safe and more efficient kitchen:

• Keep commercial refrigeration equipment far away from the stove. Even better, put it in the coolest part of the kitchen. This will boost your refrigerator's efficiency and help keep its contents at the right temperature.
• Designate a space for ice machines. This type of equipment needs to be stored in a temperature-controlled area. Otherwise, it won't be able to produce as much ice as it should.
• Install a blast chiller at the end of the cook line. Rapidly cooling pre-cooked foods will help take the strain off of your refrigeration equipment. Add this handy refrigeration unit at the end of the cook line to easily chill leftovers.

Abiding by these guidelines will help keep your commercial refrigeration equipment colder while using less energy. If you're experiencing inconsistent or warmer-than-average temperatures in your commercial refrigeration units, there could be a mechanical problem.
