Where is the value of commercial refrigeration cabinets reflected?

As the core equipment in the field of food distribution, the value of commercial refrigeration cabinets has long exceeded the basic function of "refrigeration tools" and has become a key link connecting food safety, economic benefits, environmental responsibility and brand perception.

The following is an analysis of its value from six dimensions:

1. Precise temperature control to block the growth of bacteria

Commercial refrigeration cabinets use intelligent temperature control systems to control temperature fluctuations within ± 0.5 ° C (such as supermarket freezers often set 0-4 ° C refrigeration, -18 ° C freezing), reducing the reproduction rate of pathogenic bacteria such as Listeria and Salmonella by more than 90%. According to the data of the Global Society of Food Science and Technology, supermarkets using compliance freezers have a 65% year-on-year decrease in food deterioration complaint rates.

2. Zoning management to avoid cross-contamination

Multi-temperature zone design (such as fresh meat/dairy/fruit and vegetable independent cabins), UV sterilization lamps, antibacterial sealing strips and other configurations can effectively isolate the spread of bacteria from different ingredients. After a chain convenience store introduced zoned freezers, the pass rate of food testing increased from 89% to 97%.

3. Reduce losses and increase profits

High-efficiency insulation technology (such as vacuum insulation panel VIP) can reduce the energy consumption of the freezer by 30%, and with the intelligent defrosting system, the average annual electricity cost can be saved by 2000-5000 yuan. Taking medium-sized supermarkets as an example, the use of energy-saving freezers can reduce the fresh food loss rate from 8% to 5%, and increase the annual income by more than 100,000 yuan.

4. Material innovation reduces carbon footprint

Using bio-based plastics (such as PLA corn starch material) and recycled aluminum alloy frame, carbon emissions are reduced by 40% compared with traditional freezers. After the cooluma cake brand replaced the environmentally friendly freezer, the annual carbon emissions of a single store were reduced by 12 tons, and the government green subsidy was 15,000 yuan.

5. Remote monitoring reduces labor costs

Internet of things technology implementation temperature and humidity alarm, inventory automatic inventory, a chain enterprise through this function to reduce 30% inspection manpower, fault response time from 4 hours to 20 minutes.

6. The circular economy shapes the corporate image

By participating in cold storage recycling programmes (such as COOLUMA's "green recycling" programme, where 90 per cent of old cabinets are recyclable), companies can obtain "circular economy pilot unit" certification and upgrade their ESG rating. As a result, a listed catering group has received an increase in international capital holdings.

Driven by the dual-carbon target and consumption upgrade, commercial refrigeration cabinets have become a micro-hub of commercial ecology: it is not only a line of defense for food safety, but also a tool for cost reduction and efficiency improvement; it is both a carrier of environmental protection concepts and a touchpoint for brand narratives.
