Stafford, UK: Businesses in need of additional blast freezing capacity are benefitting from a new two-week turnaround service introduced by cold storage company Blue Cube.
The Blue Cube ‘Fast Blast’ delivery service means customers can get additional capacity on their sites within 14 days.
The team’s current record installation time for a wholesale bakery based in the south of England was just four days after the customer first made an enquiry.
Blue Cube technology also means that once the units are on site, they work faster than standard equipment allowing customers to freeze more products in the same amount of time. One raw meat supplier is now freezing twice as much product in one day than they were able to with their previous unit, says Blue Cube.
By using less energy, the Blue Cube units are also significantly reducing electricity bills, meaning customers are saving time and money as well as cutting their carbon footprints, adds the company. Project Engineer Paul Hughes said: “Speed is so important in the cold chain and we want to make sure companies have the facilities they need as soon as possible.
“We’ve had customers call us who’ve been having to wait two or three months to get more units on site. That can feel like a lifetime when there’s work to be done.
“I like to think we’ve always been fast and flexible at Blue Cube, but the new processes we have introduced have really streamlined our capabilities and mean we can deliver faster than ever before.”
Blue Cube’s Fast Blast offer is a co-ordinated service provided by the team at office headquarters in Stafford and the operational team based in Tuxford.
Units can be delivered throughout the UK to customers in the food, maritime, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and distribution industries.
