ADANDE TECHNOLOGY
Quite simply, cold air does not fall out when an Adande fridge or freezer drawer is opened. With conventional refrigeration, the cold air falls out each time the door or drawer is opened. Food is exposed to ambient air attack and energy is wasted. In busy kitchens, fridges are frequently opening during service, wasting energy and in many cases causing the temperature to rise above recommended levels.
Adande's unique insulated drawers retain cold air on opening - the cold air simply has nowhere to go. The unmatched temperature stability of the Adande Drawer prolongs the shelf life of food, resulting in better quality, as the temperature before cooking is consistent). This is as important in fine dining kitchens, preparing seafood and sorbets, for example, as it is in quick service restaurants, where items can be cooked from frozen.
Award Winning Sustainability
Adande Drawers were designed and built with sustainability in mind, and this led to us winning the prestigious FCSI/CESA Sustainability Award 2008 against blue chip competitors, including Rationale, Foster and Winterhalter.We are also a past winner of the KFC UK YUM Supplier of the Year Award in recognition of us "delivering innovative technology to enable better operation and improve energy efficiency"
These are the benefits that make Adande a significantly more sustainable refrigeration product:
- Cold air stays with the food in Adande Drawers - On conventional cabinets the cold air falls out at every opening; that lost cold air is replaced by hot moist kitchen air that then has to be cooled down.
- Adande Drawers show savings of up to 57% on energy bills - “In use” like-for-like metered energy tests in working kitchens have demonstrated significant energy savings over conventional cabinets.
- Insulated parts are replaceable on Adande Drawers - When the foamed insulated parts fail on a conventional cabinet it goes to the land fill.
- Adande Drawers give fast, easy access to food - Conventional cabinets need to be much larger to provide equivalent access.
- No ice is required when Adande drawers are used for fish storage, saving the energy taken to produce the ice in the first place.
- Less food is spoiled, and storage times are increased, reducing food waste.
