Go Back

ACE Refrigeration are once again attending the Hospital Caterers Association Annual Conference in  Birmingham. The team will be showcasing the state of the art cook freeze production facilities at Inverclyde Royal Hospital and the Royal Alexandria Hospital in Paisley.

This project has enabled the catering teams to produce in excess of 6,000 quality meals each day, supplying 14 hospitals for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board.

The blast freezers used were to play a central role in this facility; so as part of the specification process, blast freezers from all the major manufacturers were tested by GGHB.

Due to our independence and worldwide sourcing ability, the blast freezers sourced by ACE gave by far the best results; producing 500kg of frozen produce on 2 trolleys per hour versus 250g from the other manufacturers, thus ensuring best value for money and production efficiency.

The installation of 15 separate cold rooms/production areas also gives the facility over 1,100 cubic metres of refrigerated space.
