Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ferryman's Inn, a popular riverside pub in Norwich, found their existing bottle coolers couldn't cope with the summer tourist rush, leading to lukewarm drinks and frustrated customers. They invested in the Inomak upright fridge to handle the volume and improve their display.
"This fridge has been brilliant. The recovery time is so fast, meaning even on a packed Saturday, the last bottle out is as cold as the first. Our customers have commented on how great the back bar looks, and the self-closing door is a lifesaver for our busy staff."
Samuel Jones – Pub Landlord
Since installation, the pub has reduced energy consumption from its bar refrigeration by 20% and can now hold significantly more stock, preventing sell-outs during peak times.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully check the unit for any signs of damage during transit.
- Position the fridge on a flat, level surface, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the sides and back to allow for proper air circulation.
- Allow the unit to stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to let the refrigerant oils settle.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the interior surfaces and door gaskets weekly with a mild detergent and warm water.
- Every couple of months, unplug the unit and gently brush or vacuum the condenser coil to remove dust.
- Regularly check that the door gasket is forming a tight seal to prevent cold air from escaping.
- Ensure that stock inside doesn't block the internal fan, as this is key to its cooling performance.

Explore more from InomakHow Forced Air Circulation Guarantees the Perfect Chill
Ever grabbed a drink from a standard fridge and found it's warmer than the one at the back? That's often because of static cooling, where the cold simply falls from an element at the top. This Inomak unit uses something much smarter: forced air circulation. A small, powerful fan actively blows the chilled air all around the inside of the cabinet, ensuring there are no 'warm spots'. Think of it like a convection oven for cooling; it guarantees that every single bottle, whether it's at the front, back, top, or bottom, is held at the exact same, crisp temperature. It’s the secret to consistently perfect service, every time.
