has been announced as the Silver winner of
the heavy equipment category in the SCI
Equipment Awards 2018.
In making the award, the judging panel agreed that the Aircell® Crivat Grab & Go cabinet had satisfied the competition’s criteria for sustainability, cost savings and innovation in the foodservice sector. Adande also demonstrated that the Aircell® Crivat cabinet offers food to go focused features, including reduced energy consumption, tighter holding temperatures, a warmer shopping environment, a large display capacity and unfettered access for ease of browsing and shopping.
In support of its award entry, Adande submitted the results of an in-store trial of an Aircell® Crivat cabinet at Le Pain Quotidien food to go outlet in Soho, London. Over a three week test period, energy consumption of the Aircell® cabinet was measured as 33% less than the store’s existing open front multi deck display. This reduction in energy consumption would represent an annual saving in electricity costs of £365. During the same trial, cabinet air temperature was measured to a bandwidth of 4°C in the Aircell® model, compared with an average range of 11°C in the store’s existing open front multi deck. The narrow temperature range of the Aircell® model helps to maintain the quality and fresh appearance of food to go, providing a more enjoyable eating experience for the customer and reducing waste. Adande also cited results from an in-store trial at a UK food hall.
During simultaneous monitoring under the same store operating conditions, over a three week test period, energy consumption of the Aircell® Crivat Grab & Go cabinet was measured as 53.6% less than the store’s existing open front multi deck display. This reduction in energy consumption represents an annual saving in electricity costs of £660.65. Cabinet air temperature was measured to a bandwidth of 3°C in the Aircell® Crivat model, compared with an average range of 13°C in the store’s existing open front multi deck.
Adande’s Chairman, Nigel Bell, commented: “This award further endorses the environmental credentials of Aircell® open front cabinet technology, highlighting its tangible benefits for the display of chilled food to go in foodservice and convenience retailing operations. In this competition we were up against some stiff opposition, including worldwide market leading brand names in the catering and foodservice sectors.”
