Williams Refrigeration offers Coldroom Solutions for Florists and Garden Centres
As well as offering professional equipment for catering applications Williams Refrigeration also provides coldrooms for the storage of cut flowers to florists and garden centres.
The importance of maintaining the ‘cold chain’, as a flower makes its way on the journey from the grower to the flower shop and onto the shelf, shouldn’t be underestimated. Temperature affects flowers in many ways: water loss, flower opening, stem bending, petal wilting, flower fall, the possibility of infection.
Cut flowers are held at their optimum temperature in a coldroom, thus preserving them and increasing their shelf life. However, not all florists and garden centres have acres of space – that’s where British manufacturer Williams comes in.
Williams offers a truly flexible coldroom solution, featuring a modular construction and a range of panel sizes that allow designers to create bespoke rooms to virtually any size or shape. These can be assembled on-site, overcoming any accessibility problems.
A removable POD refrigeration system delivers enhanced storage capacity and hassle free maintenance. There are also options of movable partition walls for dual compartment rooms, which can be moved to increase or decrease space.
Where space is really limited Williams can supply exterior coldrooms that can be sited adjacent to buildings.
For optimum thermal efficiency Williams coldrooms are built with 90mm, zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) foam insulated panels. Camlocks are foamed in to tongue and groove joints for a tight locking stable structure which eliminates the risk of ice build-up in joints and ensures a ‘thermal envelope’.
