If the coolroom
or fridge door seals are poorly fitting,
torn or damaged, your refrigeration equipment
cannot operate at its optimum efficiency.
Even if there are no obvious problems it
pays to check your seals at regular intervals
to ensure that all your doors are sealing
correctly.
Obvious signs of problems are torn or broken
seals, particularly at the bottom seal,
which is often out of sight. Another major
problem area is the top seal where your
staff's fingernails split the seal when
they open the door.
Seals will also be causing problems
if they are brittle, hard or have lost their
flexibility. You'll find other symptoms inside
the fridge or coolroom like ice build up on
the FDC unit, excessive water and greater
microbial build-up.
Your coolrooms and fridges produce cold air
to keep the contents cool; the door seals
hold the cold air inside and if the seals
are worn or damaged, the air will escape.
This means fresh food doesn't last as long
as it should and also makes the condenser
motors work much harder than they should,
causing increased running costs and higher
electricity bills.
In addition to the mould and bacterial treatment
of your fridge door seals, we will inspect
and discuss the need to replace damaged or
broken door seals during every service.
It makes good sense for your fridge seals
to be in peak condition and it will save you
money.
