A cold store warehouse plays a very important role in ensuring temperature sensitive products remain immaculate and unspoiled whilst in storage. If placed in the wrong type of environment there are particular items such as food, drink, biological or pharmaceutical products which can deteriorate rapidly and as degradation makes them unsafe for consumption the business faces cost implications of wasted products. Maintaining specific cold or freezing temperatures will preserve product quality however, this is a process which requires additional energy usage, so keeping the area as energy efficient as possible is vital.

Industry leading experts Warehouse Systems Limited (WSL) has spent the last 30 years attentively designing bespoke industrial storage solutions to not only improve the functionality of their clients’ facilities but also save them time and money. Operating throughout the UK and for a wide spectrum of businesses, pallet racking, shelving and mezzanine floor solutions produced by WSL can help make any warehouse flow. Cold storage is an area in which WSL is extremely experienced and with a large proportion of their client base in this specialist sector WSL appreciate that high energy costs is a major concern for them. Storing products in high volumes will certainly require space however, when those products require a temperature controlled storage environment the space becomes much more expensive.

Whilst WSL look to utilise space through optimized storage solutions in any situation, cold store warehouses in particular benefit hugely from WSL’s ability to enhance storage efficiency whilst reducing energy consumption. A properly utilized cold zone where storage space is used to its full capacity will lead to a reduction in overall energy usage. WSL recommend high density storage where the full cubic area is utilized to maximize product storage making the area much more energy efficient. There are a number of pallet racking systems which offer highly compact storage however, they do differ and one system wouldn’t suit all.

A new system would be a significant investment so understandably businesses want to be sure of long term profitability which is why WSL visit their clients on site to listen to their particular requirements and allow them to address their concerns. Using their extensive knowledge their expert design team talk through all options available whilst providing plans and drawings to show the full potential of their cold storage warehouse. If you have a cold store warehouse and are looking to improve energy and storage efficiency WSL are always happy to offer their expert advice.
