Fri-Jado introduces doors to MDD range

Understanding the pressure on operators when it comes to reducing energy consumption, leading hot and cold display equipment manufacturer, FriJado, has launched a range of bespoke doors for the innovative MDD range.

Real-world tests carried out by Fri-Jado engineers at the company’s manufacturing site in the Netherlands have previously demonstrated that the appliances in the MDD range use as little as 16KWh per day to run, up to 50%* less than other commercial display solutions available on the market. This remarkable efficiency is achieved because of the patented hot air blanket technology that Fri-Jado implements into its hot holding equipment. The addition of the new optional doors can save a further 25% of the daily energy consumed by the unit, based upon the same set point – delivering remarkable savings throughout the life of the unit.

Designed to reduce energy consumption by minimising wastage, the optional doors, which can be retrofitted to existing units, preserve the temperature and humidity inside the display cabinet. Constructed from a single pane of glass, the doors have been designed specifically for the unit and to not obstruct a customer’s view of the food held within.

Available across the MDD portfolio, including the three, four and five-level appliances, a choice of widths and the stand-alone or pass-through design, the introduction of the doors has the potential to deliver significant ongoing savings for operators at a time when it is needed most.

On the introduction of the doors to the MDD range, Gary Thacker, Sales Director at Fri-Jado UK adds:

“There is not a day that goes past without the cost of energy hitting the headlines across the country. Although much of the focus has been on the costs for consumers, businesses, especially those in the retail and foodservice sectors, are being hit harder than most.

At Fri-Jado, we’re committed to supporting our customers, helping them to save money, reduce energy consumption and ultimately, drive a profitable business. The introduction of the doors to our pioneering MDD range is an example of this. Exclusively designed to reduce energy wastage and consumption, the doors also help to preserve the wider conditions in a front-of-house environment. Tests have shown the energy savings are approximately 25% on an MDD with doors, compared to the same unit without doors. This is on top of the potential 50% savings compared to other similar units available on the market.”

Working in conjunction with Fri-Jado’s innovative ‘Hot Blanket’ technology, a system that uses hot air recirculation and conduction to maintain precise conditions, the doors have been shown to achieve significant cost savings over the life of an appliance.
