Carlton Services

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.

White wine is a popular summer drink, either on its own or with soda for a cooling spritzer. Whatever the choice, it needs to be served cold for maximum enjoyment. Bars can no longer get away with serving warm white wine.

The range of Samsung freestanding wine coolers stylishly finished in stainless steel trim for back-bar and front-of-house positions. Their glass fronts are designed to show off the wines and make selection for bar staff easier. Energy-saving internal LED illumination further enhances the display cabinet.

The single zone RW33EBSS2 has a 125 litre, 33 bottle capacity and measures 850mm high x 550mm deep x 511mm wide. A variable thermostat control allows the cabinet temperature to be set between 3 and 18 degrees C for storing white or red wine. This model has wire shelves for the bottles to lay flat and a section at the bottom for upright storage.

The larger double zone RW52DASS1 has a separate temperature control for each zone. Its 148 litre capacity holds 52 bottles. Measuring 840mm x 613mm x 595mm, the cabinet is fitted with wooden shelves and has a UV-ray protected glass door.

Both models operate from a standard 13 Amp 220-240 V power supply and have levelling legs for ease of installation. Lockable doors provide security when the bar is unattended. Samsung wine coolers with a full-one year guarantee.

LEC under-counter catering fridges and freezers, these special catering models are designed specifically for the catering market and available in a white or stainless steel finish to suit the surroundings. They are ideal for workplace self-catering facilities, as well as pub kitchens, small catering operations and back bar storage.

Sturdily built with hygienic, easily cleaned and impact-resistant white plastic interior walls, the fridges and freezers have reversible doors with a continuous handle for ease of opening. The 153 litre capacity under-counter fridges and 116 litre freezers operate efficiently in ambient temperatures of up to 32 degrees C. Both use environmentally friendly CFC, HFC-free cyclopentane foam insulation and R600a (HC) refrigerant.

The refrigerators have forced air cooling to ensure even temperature distribution of between +1 to +5 degrees C throughout the cabinet. The freezers operate between -18 to -25 degrees C and have four wire drawers for easy organisation of frozen products.

A clear digital temperature display ensures food is stored at the correct temperature and there is a temperature alarm in case of severe temperature rises, for example, if the door is left open too long or the power fails.

For convenience in supplying a variety of menu items quickly, and to order, many kitchens use a blast chiller to chill hot food they prepare in bulk cooking sessions. Until recently blast chillers and freezers have been the preserve of larger catering establishments as they have tended to be big and expensive items of equipment. But now, with the introduction of the compact Ital Lampo blast chiller, this technology is within reach of smaller establishments both in terms of cost and space.

The Ital Lampo, available from Carlton Sales, is a compact blast chiller and freezer combined that offers all the power of the larger models - rapidly chilling food to +3 degrees C in 90 minutes and shock freezing to -18 degrees C in 240 minutes - without compromising the freshness and taste. With a storage capacity of 29 litre and measuring just 620 x 600  x 400mm, the Lampo can hold 3 x 2/3 gastronorm pans but is small enough to fit on, or under, a countertop, tucking in alongside existing equipment.

Simple controls and robust, stainless steel construction ensure the Lampo will withstand the demanding environment of a busy commercial kitchen with a full one-year parts and labour warranty.

Foster Refrigerator recently presented Ashwicken First School with one of their award winning Eco Pro Refrigerators. Foster felt that the local school was deserving of such a donation due to their continual demonstration of exceptional green initiatives.

Such green initiatives have included the school’s garden area where the pupils plan to grow and sell produce, recycling schemes and a school travel plan (involving the encouragement of car sharing and walking along safe routes to school), and the newly built eco-friendly solar-panelled classroom. As verification of their green credentials, Ashwicken has been granted permission to fly the coveted ‘Green Flag’ above their school, meaning that they are recognised as being part of the International Eco-School Project.

The School will use the refrigerator on a daily basis to store the “5-a-day” fruit and ingredients for their Healthy Cookery Club. The product also has enough space to store children’s packed lunches in order to keep them chilled in the hot weather. Upon receipt of the product donation, Sue Collison Headteacher of Ashwicken First School, said, “We are very grateful to receive such a brilliant fridge which is energy efficient and fits in with our school’s eco commitment to actively promote reductions, re-usage and recycling.”

John Savage, Foster Refrigerator Foodservice Director, said, “Ashwicken First School has clearly made a great effort to implement eco-friendly initiatives, and we feel that this reflects the policies of Foster Refrigerator perfectly.” He also went on to add, “It gives us great pleasure to donate our award winning Eco Pro cabinet to the local eco-champions of tomorrow.”

Foster Refrigerator, the UK market leader, manufactures a wide range of award-winning commercial refrigeration equipment and systems for the foodservice, bakery and retail industries.

The innovative refrigeration product range includes blast chillers and freezers, refrigerated storage cabinets and counters, walk-in fridges, walk-in freezers, refrigeration systems, prep stations, ice makers, water coolers, temperature monitoring and refrigeration equipment specially developed for the professional baker.
