Adande Refrigeration’s Aircell® Sarma open front, integral refrigerated Grab & Go cabinet has won the Packaging & Equipment category at the British Sandwich Association’s Sammies Awards 2018.
The award follows the success of the Aircell® Grab & Go cabinet at the Food & Hotel Asia SCI Equipment Awards in Singapore and the FCSI UK & Ireland Sustainable Catering Equipment Awards 2017.
The judging panel recognised that the display case demonstrated genuine product innovation. The Aircell system works by dividing the cabinet’s merchandising envelope into separate air flow-managed cells with small, low pressure air columns. Each cell has its own air curtain, which is more efficient than a full height canopy-to-base air curtain on a conventional multi deck case. The net result is less pressure on the inside of the air curtain of each cell and a substantial reduction in cold air spillage. The technology is particularly suited to harsh environments, often found in food to go outlets and convenience stores, where cross draughts can exacerbate cold air spillage.
