Practical Maintenance Tips for Food Businesses

In addition to proper refrigeration equipment, adopting sensible practices optimizes its use:

  • Regularly check refrigerator temperatures with a fridge thermometer to ensure they stay between 32F and 41F (0C and 5C).
  • Separate raw food from ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the fridge or use dedicated fridges if possible.
  • Refrigerate or freeze perishable and prepared foods within two hours.
  • Create a temperature map in storage refrigerators to optimize placement.
  • Avoid overloading the fridge to allow proper air circulation.
  • Perform regular maintenance to extend equipment life and improve efficiency.

Ongoing Maintenance

  • Quickly transfer delivered products to walk-in coolers to reduce strain on the refrigeration system.

Monthly Maintenance

  • Clean condenser coils.
  • Ensure proper airflow across evaporator coils.
  • Check door gaskets for leaks.
  • Monitor and adjust the refrigerant charge.
  • Review and adjust defrost cycle time-clocks as needed.

Yearly Maintenance

  • Schedule a professional contractor for a comprehensive system check-up.
  • Pay special attention to compressors and motors.
  • Lubricate fans and examine refrigerant lines for leaks.

Implementing these practical maintenance tips and schedules ensures the longevity and efficiency of your refrigeration equipment

Maintenance – Practical Tips

In a food business we don’t thinks we need have an proper practices other than Just the proper refrigeration equipment for the type of food, there are some simple and sensible practices that optimize the use of this equipment. Even though it is required by the Food Code, use a fridge thermometer to regularly check the temperature of the refrigeration equipment. The coldest part of the fridge should be between 32F and 41F (0C and 5C). As a rule of thumb, it is a good practice to make sure the refrigerator temperature is 40F or below. Check the temperature at regular intervals throughout the day to spot potential problems with temperature recovery. Use a probe thermometer to check if food being chilled or kept cold before serving is at a safe temperature.

In placing foods in a refrigeration unit, particularly a walk-in refrigerator, remember to keep raw food below ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the fridge. Or use separate fridges for raw and RTE food, if possible. Place any raw food that has the potential of leaking on the lowest shelves.

As another good rule-of-thumb, refrigerate or freeze perishables, prepared foods and leftovers within two hours. Make food cool more quickly by dividing it into smaller amounts and placing it in shallow dishes, or use cooling (ice) sticks to rapidly cool foods in stockpots.

Make a temperature map of the inside of storage and walk-in refrigerators by placing several thermometers throughout the unit and take readings at 10- to 15-minute intervals during periods of temperature recovery. The coldest section of the refrigerator should be used for potentially hazardous foods.

Don’t over-stuff the refrigerator. Cold air must circulate to keep food safe. If you had a recent delivery, make sure that the product is stored properly, below the stack limit line. You can actually map the “sweet spot” for cooling within a walk-in refrigerator by using a smoke tube and finding the area where the air has the greatest turbulence. Leave the spots of least turbulence for produce and other non-potentially hazardous foods.

A regularly performed maintenance program will help ensure that refrigeration equipment not only serves a long and useful life but also operates more efficiently. The following are a few tips:

  • Ongoing: Move delivered product quickly into the walk-in coolers from the receiving dock. Allowing the product to warm up to outdoor temperatures will increase the pull down load on the refrigeration system.
  • Monthly: Clean the condenser coils to maintain optimum heat transfer performance. Check to be sure that display case air curtains, grilles, or registers are clean and free of obstructions to assure proper air flow across the evaporator coils. Check door gaskets for leaks and tears to minimize infiltration loads. Check the refrigerant charge; add more when needed. Check the defrost cycle time-clocks to see that they are set and operating properly. The number and length of defrosts can be varied seasonally.
  • Yearly: Have a professional refrigeration contractor give the system a thorough check-up, paying special attention to the compressors and motors. Check and lubricate fans. Examine refrigerant lines for leaks
