Better by Degrees

Food stored in an Adande is easier to access, lasts longer, looks better, serves better and tastes better.

Adande's uniquely stable storage temperatures ensure that you can prepare and serve food that is just as you planned, time and time again. Ingredient quality does not deteriorate and shelf life is prolonged.

"I am impressed by every encounter with Adande.” Matthew Tomkinson, The Montagu Arms Hotel, Beaulieu

As Fridge or Freezer the Temperatures's Perfect

Temperatures can be set, and unlike in any other door or drawer refrigeration, they can be accurately maintained at anything from -22°C to +15°C to suit each food type.

As a result, your food's taste, consistency, colour and aroma is perfectly maintained.

"One drawer in the pastry section is set for frozen sorbet and ice cream at -14° C to suit the Pacojet - the other sits as a service fridge at +3° C" Alan Gleeson, The Fish House Hotel, Chichester

Safer and Longer Storage and Less Waste

The Adande design prevents attack from warm, humid, ambient air - virtually eliminating burn and clumping in freezer mode or condensation when used as a chiller. This cuts down on spoilage and waste, and boosts your profits. It significantly reduces the risk of bacterial contamination too. Click here for some expert views.

Each drawer's low velocity cooling system prevents dehydration - the cold air percolates around the drawer bin, leaving no 'hot spots' and, as a result, no air gaps need be left between stored food items.

Fish can be stored without ice and will still stay fresh for longer.

Less Work

With products stored in plan view and in bulk, you will make far fewer trips away from your work stations to replenish stocks and stock checks take far less time.

Easier access to contents and greater capacity, right at the point of use are two of the genuine ergonomic benefits that Adande users enjoy.

“We've actually saved on labour ... we used to have extra seasonal staff to do the running around, but because the Adande refrigerator stops that we have reduced the number of staff needed in the kitchen ...” Colin Fraser, Harbour Inn, Southwold

Easy Cleaning

The Adande drawer design provides you and your staff with the most hygienic storage system on the market. The drawer bin is easily removed for cleaning at a sink.

And the Best News..

Is that not only do Adande units outperform conventional units to provide you with the best cold storage conditions but the rest of your team will benefit too.

• Design consultants love them for their flexibility and their ability to be sited anywhere in the kitchen.
• Facilities managers love them because they are robustly built, require less maintenance, are easy to clean and service.
• And of course the environmentally conscious amongst us love them because offering truly sustainable refrigeration they are better for the planet.

Futureproof Your Kitchen, Save on Energy, Maintenance, Staff Costs and Food Waste

Cheaper to Own

Using less energy and requiring less maintenance, reducing food waste and inefficient working practices, with each unit usable as a fridge or a freezer, Adande units increase your profits and reduce your costs. See full details here..

Complete Flexibility

Future proof your kitchen with the ‘Lego brick’ type design of Adande Drawers combined with their operational flexibility.

Allowing users to switch from fridge to freezer mode, Adande drawers facilitate menu and seasonal changes or allow the kitchen set up to be varied between a la carte and large function catering. Longer term, the entire kitchen refrigeration can reconfigured within the same footprint if required.

Environmentally Better

Adande ‘ticks all the boxes’ for sustainability and carbon reduction in both fridge and freezer mode. Naturally it depends on how much a unit is used, but all tests show significant energy savings versus conventionally manufactured equipment. Savings are usually in excess of 40% with gains of up to 66% being achieved in many instances.

One 13 amp socket, with the power leads daisy chained together, is all that is required to supply up to 3 Adande Drawers.

The majority of any one of the Adande range of units is recyclable, unlike traditional refrigeration products that go into landfill at the end of their useful life.

Ergonomically Better

Adande Drawers represent ‘best in class’ refrigeration ergonomically - providing bulk storage at the point of use in hot busy kitchens, thereby reducing the need for chefs to go and fetch replacement stock during service.

The productivity benefits flowing from this design feature help caterers earn higher gross profit margins

Less Waste

Adande design prevents ambient air attack - virtually eliminating burn/clumping in freezer mode or condensation when in operating as a chiller - cuts down on spoilage and waste, making it easier to achieve the required food cost gross profit percentage.

Quick Payback

The capex payback period of the very real savings from the use of Adande Drawers varies, from as little as 3 months up to 3 years. The length of time will depend on energy and maintenance savings and the value ascribed by the caterer to the fundamentally important savings due to improved ergonomics, and reduced food spoilage and waste. Both of these tend to be either completely overlooked or downplayed in the equipment decision making process.

Most Importantly

Your chefs will love Adande units, your customers will get better food, your engineers will have fewer problems and your profits will increase.

Dealers Can at Last Sell Refrigeration that their Customers will Really Value

Make your Customers Money

Prior to the Adande Drawer, the caterer's choice was limited to conventional cabinets only, with chefs struggling to minimise food quality problems resulting from poor temperature stability and caterers 'picking up the tab' through lost revenue when diners 'vote with their feet' after a disappointing or inconsistent quality meal, or a reduced profit margin due to excessive food spoilage & wastage.

Many Different Applications

Cookline applications for Adande are becoming increasingly popular because the units hold temperature in the hottest kitchens better than any other refrigeration. Adande chef base units are great value for money as the unique design means that the refrigeration works perfectly without the need to use more powerful compressors and extra insulation, both of which add to the cost of other designs.

Adande units can be bespoked to suit the cookline application - heat shield tops - extended tops to suit the dimensions of the equipment to be supported - cassette style within the range, and on.

Adande units can take a 200 kg equipment loading when fitted with the optional solid worktop or heat shield and castors or rollers.

Our Blast Chill option, fitted as an enhancement within a standard drawer unit, is extremely cost effective.

It saves worktop space and ensures compliance with the ever tightening Food Hygiene & Safety Regulations. A very important consideration in cramped and busy kitchens.

Space Saving = Profit Enhancing

Adande Drawers save footprint, or alternatively provide more capacity within the same footprint, when compared with conventional cabinets.

3 x 'Conventional' 2 Door Counter Units vs. 3 x Two Stack Adande Drawer Units

3 x 'Conventional' 9 Drawer Counter Units vs. 3 x Two Stack Adande Drawer Units

This is an extremely valuable ergonomic benefit, enabling higher productivity from a smaller footprint, and thereby the opportunity to either reduce staffing or serve more diners in a given period.

Lower Maintenance

The Adande airflow design eliminates the risk of condenser blocking which, in all other designs is the commonest cause of fan motor and compressor failure.

As the Adande design minimises the loss of cold air on opening the drawer there is much less hot air thrown back into the kitchen, thereby reducing the need for expensive extraction or air-conditioning systems.

Seals included in Warranty

Adande Refrigeration is the only manufacturer worldwide able to warrant the seals - an industry first and a big saving financially let alone the added benefit of trouble free kitchen operations.

Adande Units Give More Flexibility and Smarter Use of Space

FCSI Awards

Recognised by the FCSI with two recent awards, the worldwide Manufacturer of the Year and the Sustainable Kitchen Equipment Awards, Adande units enable designers to give their customers precisely what they need.

Outperforms all Conventional Equipment

The incorporation of multiple Adande drawers in a kitchen design provides users with a refrigeration solution that ensures perfect, temperature controlled, bulk storage of any food type, at the point of use, in a smaller footprint and using less energy than any conventional cabinet.

The ability to switch any Adande drawer from chiller to freezer and back in minutes allows designers to build in the ultimate flexibility for their customers. Use can be switched from service to service, to suit seasonal menu changes, or to allow the kitchen set up to be varied between a la carte and large function catering.

The popular Adande 2 Stack unit, with solid worktop, configured with one drawer set to chill and the other in freezer mode, plus blast chill functionality in one or both drawers, provides chefs with the most versatile prep station on the market today.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

The fast growing number of converts to Adande Drawers are reaping the benefits from owning the most temperature stable counter fridges/freezers on the market. Consultants who specify Adande can be assured of their customers’ satisfaction. To see some of the chefs who love Adande see Case Studies.

In additional to the superior temperature and fridge to freezer flexibility, Adande Drawers are the most versatile counters on today’s market with a blast chill option, heat shield worktops, prep station worktops, pass through drawers and so on.

Space Enhancing

Adande Drawers save footprint, or alternatively provide more capacity, within the same footprint when compared to conventional cabinets - an extremely valuable ergonomic benefit, enabling higher productivity from a smaller kitchen.

Modular system units come in two footprints (rectangle or square) and can be stacked up to three units high. This allows users to specify bespoke Adande units for any number of applications, even in the cookline, the hottest area of the kitchen.

With the ability to bespoke our units - worktop extensions, gantries, fixed frames and so on - designers have even more flexibility when planning kitchens.

The rear engine Adande unit can be sited up against a wall, and even with an oven on each side.So long as it is on a castor base the unit will be able to breathe through the vent path that expels the warm air back into the kitchen by going under the base of the unit....right up to ambient temperatures as high as +43° C.

Adande Refrigeration Requires Less Maintenance

Adande Drawers perform to specification, even in high ambient temperatures, while simultaneously consuming significantly less energy than conventionally manufactured cabinets or uprights of similar capacity. The many unique design features all contribute to a reduced maintenance requirement

An Easier Life for all Key Components

The Adande design retains the cold air on opening which means that less air needs to be chilled to replace the loss. Naturally this means that all refrigeration components hard to work less, improving their lifetimes and reducing maintenance requirements.

Adande Drawers only require 4 defrosts per 24 hour period, compared to an average of 6 with conventionally manufactured units.

The Adande airflow design eliminates the risk of condenser blocking which, in conventionally made equipment, is the commonest cause of fan motor and compressor failure.

Furthermore, as the Adande design minimises the loss of cold air on opening the drawer, there is much less hot air thrown back into the kitchen, thereby reducing the need for expensive extraction / air-conditioning systems. With minimal cold air loss temperature recovery is quick and requires the compressor to work less hard.

The Adande design does not involve bonding a metal skin to plastic insulated parts - the Adande Drawer bin sits between two German made steel runners (tested for over 500,000 movements) to create the only drawer refrigeration that can operate in freezer mode, because the runners cannot stick as they are at ambient temperature.

As there are no doors there are no hinges to fail.

It is for all these reasons that Adande equipment is robust and reliable.

Seals Included in Warranty

Due to the unique design Adande Refrigeration is the only manufacturer worldwide able to warrant the seals - an industry first and a big saving financially let alone the added benefit of trouble free kitchen operations.

Planet Friendly

Adande ‘ticks all the boxes’ for sustainability and carbon reduction in both fridge and freezer mode - numerous tests show big energy savings compared to conventionally manufactured equipment, usually in excess of 40% and sometimes as much as 66%.

The majority of any one of the Adande range of units is recyclable, unlike traditional refrigeration products that go into landfill at the end of their useful life.

A Lot of Cooling from a Single Plug

One 13 amp socket is all that is required to supply up to 3 Adande Drawers, with the power leads daisy chained together.

Now Hydrocarbon Adds Savings to Savings

Hydrocarbon units are now available, saving users a further 19% on energy compared to Adande’s standard HFC units - increasingly significant as the decade wears on, given the strictures of the EU mandated Carbon Reduction Commitment.
