How to maintain and manage your Freezer Room

Have you recently invested in a Freezer Room? 

At Brykol we know exactly what steps you need to take to correctly manage your new Freezer Room.

Keep your Freezer Room clean

Keeping your Freezer Room is so important to ensure it is working as efficiently as possible. Dust and dirt are not only unsightly, but they can create blockages that prevent warm air from escaping. This will raise your energy bills and increase the chance of a breakdown in your Freezer Room.

How often should you carry out Freezer Rooom cleaning?

The frequency at which you carry out your chiller room cleaning depends on what level of urgency your business has when it comes to maintaining a hygienic environment. Some tasks on your cold room maintenance checklist can be performed daily, while others can be done weekly or even monthly as part of your overall maintenance schedule.

Daily Freezer Room cleaning and maintenance

• Spillages should be cleaned up straight away
• Check the compressors in the walk-in cold room for oil leakage
• Check the cold room temperature is correct for your products
• Check the Freon levels in the cold storage room
• Inspect the evaporator for a build-up of ice

Weekly Freezer Room cleaning and maintenance

• Clean the cold room door seals and check for any cracks and general wear and tear
• Neatly organise your products at the end of the week if necessary
• Thoroughly clean all surfaces and floors with appropriate cold room cleaning products

Make sure your Freezer Room is regularly maintained

It is important to clean your Freezer Room regularly, but equally important is knowing when there are repairs that need to be made. If you spot damage to the door, or something else needs replacing, contact our team of maintenance engineers. Your cold room should function as it was designed and expected to by its manufacturer.

Monthly maintenance for Freezer Room

The maintenance of a cold room is essential for an efficient working unit. This involves adjusting and calibrating temperature, cleaning evaporators, checking fan blowing and defrosting functions, and carrying out a functional test to ensure proper working order during use.

Keep Freezer Room doors shut

If you’re going anywhere in a cold room, make sure to close the door behind you. If the doors are left open too long, the cold air inside escapes and has to work extra hard to maintain its temperature. If you have large numbers of staff moving through an open door, it may be best to have a schedule for their entrance and exit so that only a few people are entering at once.
