Refrigeration technology is at the service of freshness and efficiency
The quality of the ingredients and the freshness of the products are essential to guarantee excellent dishes. The correct gastronomy equipment allows food to be stored in the best possible conditions. Refrigerated cabinets and tables are essential tools for food preservation and represent an important opportunity to reduce waste while saving energy. In the current economic climate, the energy efficiency of professional equipment is a key factor in the economic sustainability of a business.
Energy-efficient catering equipment
In professional kitchens, pastry shops and ice cream parlours, cooling equipment accounts for a greater proportion of energy consumption than any other gastronomy equipment. By adopting advanced technologies, such as inverter compressors that adjust their speed according to need and high-efficiency insulation, it is possible to significantly reduce the energy consumption of these devices.
European legislation sets specifications for the eco-design of professional refrigerated cabinets and requires manufacturers to perform energy consumption tests under specific climate conditions. The energy classes of gastronomy equipment are indicated by letters ranging from A to G, from maximum efficiency to minimum. Investing in a high-energy class refrigerated cabinet helps reduce operating costs and environmental impact.
Automation and waste reduction with catering equipment
Modern catering equipment is equipped with advanced automation systems that allow optimal management of temperature and humidity levels. Refrigerated cabinets and tables are equipped with sensors that constantly monitor internal conditions, autonomously adjusting compressor and fan operation to maintain set parameters, ensuring the highest standards of food safety and quality.
Precise control of storage temperatures not only ensures food quality, but also helps reduce waste. By preserving ingredients under optimal conditions, the shelf life is extended, reducing the amount of food that must be discarded due to spoilage.
Ilsa catering equipment
Environmental responsibility and the production of efficient catering equipment have always been at the core of Ilsa’s production philosophy. A rigorous design and manufacturing process, called IESS (Ilsa Energy Saving System), which complies with EN 16825 standards, is applied to professional equipment with the aim of reducing energy consumption. Electronic control and automatic defrosting systems optimise the operation of the devices. Furthermore, the use of insulation thicknesses for the body and door of 85mm and 65mm reduces heat loss.
A class A+ Ilsa cabinet can save more than €2,300 in energy costs over the course of a year compared to a class G cabinet.
The Ilsa product range is available in energy classes A, B and C in climate class 5, allowing customers to select the most appropriate gastronomy equipment for their needs.
