How to Choose the Right Refrigeration for Your C-Store

Choosing the perfect refrigeration is critical for maintaining food quality, reducing waste, and optimising a streamlined workflow in your kitchen. At Adande, we provide award-winning refrigerated drawers tailored to meet various needs. Here are some key factors to consider when choosing the right refrigeration.

  1. Understand Your Storage Needs
  • Product Types: Different products require unique storage conditions. Adande has temperature flexibility ranging from -8°F (freezer) to +59°F (fridge), catering to a variety of items such as fresh meat, ice cream, or garnishes.

 

  • Capacity: Assess the volume of food you need to store. Adande drawers, for example, offer options from compact single-drawer units to larger two-drawer systems with capacities of up to 176 lbs of food.

2. Prioritise Energy Efficiency

Our patented low-velocity cooling minimises energy consumption, saving up to 50% in energy costs compared to traditional refrigeration. This not only reduces operating costs but also supports your sustainability goals.

  1. Choose Temperature Precision

Look for systems that maintain stable temperatures to prevent spoilage. Our technology ensures precise incremental temperature control, ideal for preserving food freshness and quality​ with minimal temperature fluctuations.

4. Consider Flexibility and Design

  • Modular Configurations: Adande refrigeration units can be freestanding, built into counters, or used as chef bases beneath cooking equipment. This allows seamless integration into any store layout.

 

  • Switchable Modes: Adande drawers can switch between fridge and freezer modes in less than 40 minutes, offering unparalleled versatility.
