Carlton would like to announce a new addition to our existing range of commercial refrigeration products - Scotsman ice machines.  Scotsman, the world’s leading ice machine manufacturer, understands that ice is critically important for so many businesses.

In 1950 Scotsman reinvented ice by producing an ice cube that was crystal clear, virtually free of the minerals that had clouded ice until then. Slow melting, it was perfect for beverages. Scotsman have a long tradition of providing innovative, energy-efficient machines with state-of -the-art diagnostics, easy access servicing and optimized cleaning. With a worldwide operation Scotsman are a well-established IS0 9001: 2000 certified company and are a reliable choice for your commercial refrigeration ice machine needs.

Carlton Sales are selling 8 Scotsman machines with a capacity ranging from 24kg to 145kg (maximum production over 24 hours).  Made in the famous Scotsman thimble shape, they are available in three different sizes. The clever technology produces Supercubes which are made by spraying water upwards into an inverted mould. Inverting the mould means that any sediment or impurities in the water fall back down, leaving only pure water to form the cube making these cubes very hard.

At Carlton Sales we are proud of our extensive supplier relationships and like us

many of our supplier companies are committed to doing their bit on tackling the causes of climate change and seriously working hard to develop new ways to be energy efficient and reducing the carbon emissions of their businesses and products.

So you can image that we were very pleased to hear that Foster Refrigerator one of our suppliers – we have 22 pages of products listed on our website, ranging from Bottle Coolers to Freezer Rooms – has recently become the first commercial refrigeration company to be awarded the Carbon Trust Standard.

The Carbon Trust Standard encourages good practice by companies and organisations in terms of carbon measurement, management and reduction. It is valuable to people and organisations wishing to evaluate companies and their environmental credentials.

So now you know that if you really want to be assured that the commercial refrigeration equipment that you want to buy is really as “green” as it could be, then acquiring Foster Refrigerator equipment through Carlton Sales is the right thing to do.

This award was not given lightly Foster were assessed independently by assessors on behalf of the Carbon Trust Standard Company. Foster were measured on data spanning a three year period to demonstrate its year on year reduction in emissions, culminating in 2009 when a reduction in carbon emissions of 10.3% was achieved.

We would like to congratulate Foster on achieving this significant award and recognition which demonstrates that Foster is at the forefront of the industry when it comes to environmental issues.

Like so many professions, veterinary practitioners have to contend with an ever-increasing burden of red tape, regulations and guidelines, such as the latest VMD Code of Practice, (Oct 2007).

The BVA provides useful advice and support in achieving compliance in its publication ‘Good practice guide on veterinary medicines’, but it is easy for busy vets and practice managers to sometimes miss important details or be unclear on how to actually achieve compliance, especially given the enormity of the detail within the guide.

Help Is At Hand…

Clauses covering the storage of temperature-sensitive vaccines are easily overlooked and even when discovered do not supply you with a specific solution. Fortunately help is at hand from Labcold, the specialist British manufacturer of medical, scientific and laboratory refrigeration – a company with over 30 years experience assisting customers in meeting similar requirements regarding human vaccines.

With human vaccines there have been widely reported incidents where incorrect storage has led to significant numbers of patients requiring revaccination. To date, the veterinary profession has not seen these types of unfortunate headline and Labcold aims to help keep it that way.

Domestic products are adequately designed to store food items, as well as conform to the many regulations surrounding this function.

However, they often feature low-tech temperature control mechanisms and components. Factors such as accuracy of control, uniformity of temperature within the storage chamber and speed of recovery after door openings are just not as important to a domestic fridge designer, compared to more basic requirements like how salad vegetables can be kept fresh.

The BVA Good Practice Guide - Standard Operating Procedure 04 on the storage of medicinal products in permanent premises says as follows.

Professional Solutions…

Labcold has recently launched a fully re-designed range of vaccine and pharmaceutical storage refrigerators that come in a range of sizes, all offering stable and closely controlled temperature with door lock and built-in temperature monitoring. In addition there are useful options such as glass doors, an alarm that sounds should the fridge temperature stray outside the pre-set limits and a handy new divided-drawer system.
