Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Severn Bite', a popular riverside cafe in Shrewsbury, needed to upgrade from multiple chest freezers to a single, more organised solution to keep up with customer demand.
"Our old freezers were chaotic. This Infrico unit has transformed our workflow. We can see everything at a glance, which means faster service during the lunch rush and less food going to waste. It’s been brilliant for us."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
By consolidating their storage, The Severn Bite reduced their weekly stock spoilage by an estimated 15% and sped up their average prep time per dish.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the freezer is positioned on a firm, level surface using the adjustable legs.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper air circulation.
- Once plugged in, allow the unit to reach its target temperature before loading it with stock.
- Check that the plug is easily accessible for any future maintenance needs.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the door seals (gasket) weekly with a damp cloth to ensure a tight seal.
- Regularly clean the condenser coils to remove dust build-up, which helps efficiency.
- Clean the interior with a food-safe sanitiser to maintain hygiene standards.
- Avoid propping the door open for extended periods to maintain temperature and save energy.

The Infrico Promise: Engineered for Non-Stop Kitchens
When you choose an Infrico freezer, you're not just buying a box that keeps things cold; you're investing in decades of Spanish engineering focused purely on commercial performance.

The use of high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel throughout isn't just for looks—it's a commitment to longevity, hygiene, and resistance to the corrosion that can plague lesser models in a steamy kitchen environment. This focus on quality means fewer maintenance headaches, reduced risk of costly breakdowns, and the assurance that your stock is held safely and consistently.
