If your commercial refrigerator is not holding food at the correct temperature, it could put your products at risk of potential foodborne pathogens. This could lead to substandard quality products and a substantial food waste bill.
The Food Standards Agency in the UK states that "cold food must be kept at 8°C or below. This is a legal requirement in England, Wales and Northern Ireland."
They go on to say that "in practice, it is recommended to set your fridge at 5°C to make sure the food is cold enough. Check regularly that your fridge and any display units are cold enough."
Not storing your food at the correct temperature can encourage harmful bacteria to grow. If your fridges or freezers are not working efficiently, there could be a loss of energy from cool air leaking out or hot air getting in - which could end up costing you money.
How can super polar grade PVC curtains help?
PVC curtains are superb energy-saving products as they can offer an effective temperature control barrier. Here's how to ensure you are using them to get the best out of your fridge:
#Use the correct grade of PVC strip
Our super polar grade PVC strip curtains are designed to withstand temperatures from -55°C to +25°C. PVC tends to become less flexible in cold temperatures, causing it to crack, which can dramatically reduce its useful life span. Using our super polar grade PVC products in your fridge, freezer, or cold room will prevent this from happening.
#Ensure they are correctly fitted
Because the size of commercial fridges and freezers vary so much, it is essential to ensure your PVC strip curtains are correctly fitted. Having even the smallest gap can allow air to enter or escape. All of our strip curtain kits come with the correct number of strips and our unique stainless steel hanging system for ease of installation - and added durability.
#Keep on top of maintenance
Once your PVC curtains are correctly fitted, you should monitor them regularly to ensure no maintenance issues. This could include keeping the strips clean to ensure they can be seen clearly and replacing any damaged strips with our range of replacement PVC strips.
As you can see, temperature control is much easier when polar grade PVC strip curtains are used, but this is not their only benefit. They are also excellent barriers against air and noise pollution, and are effective at keeping pests out.
PVC strip curtains can be used on your commercial walk-in fridge, freezer or cold room to provide an easy low maintenance solution for your food storage needs. To find out more about our range, please call us today on 0333 999 7171 or email us at sales@stripcurtainsdirect.co.uk
