Does any ceda Member know who makes a double door pass through refrigerator circa 1400 x 800mm please?
Replies:
- CEP do a real big one but not double door.
- Infrico – Two Door Refrigerated Prep Counters. MPN: BMGN1470PDC Width: 1468mm Height: 850mm Depth: 700mm
- I believe they are few and far between and the low height could be a particular problem. We supplied one of these earlier this year, which is not too far off and they say that they may be able to make custom sizes – http://www.wealdrefrigeration.co.uk/products/pass-thru/ It was not cheap either, at £2925 + VAT and that was six months ago.
- Moffat Scotland
- Gram used to make 800 deep double door counter fridges.
- Precision Refrigeration – they will supply bespoke items

- Try Gamko or Osborne refrigerators.

I need to know where to purchase (hopefully in UK), chest freezers which will run at -60 for freezing sushi tuna. Your help would be appreciated.
Replies:
- Its many years since I worked in refrigeration, but a company called Swan Environmental (think they were based in Edinburgh) used to do ultra-low temperature chest freezers.
- Contact ceda Silver Partner ‘Foster Refrigerator’ https://ceda.co.uk/our-partners/silver-partners/Foster-Refrigerator
- We can source low temperature chest freezers, which will freeze down to -60 C as follows: The supplier of the low temp chest freezers is Pentland Wholesale, Paul Royds 07891 490591 / 0845 6014456
- ‘Pentland’ do 4 sizes of ‘Vestfrost’ low temp chest freezers with temp range of -30degC to -60degC. Models VT147, VT307, VT407 and VT547. Although I‘m not certain about this, I would think that the freezer should only be used to conserve the frozen product at that temperature – the freezing of fresh product presumably needs to be in an appropriate blast freezer? Fish is a high-risk product after all. There aren’t any blast-freezers I can see which take the product that low, so maybe not.

- I think Hoshzaki do one under their medical range.
- The only place you can get those are medical distributors – I think LEC medical do them
