Cold Storage Solutions from Africhill Transforming Africa’s Events Industry
Large scale events require reliable cold storage solutions to ensure food safety, prevent spoilage, and optimise operations. Without proper refrigeration, event organisers face significant challenges, including food waste, inefficiencies in catering, and increased operational costs.
Africhill provides industry leading cold storage solutions, ideal for even global scale events such as World Cup sport events, including cold rooms, refrigeration units, freezer and chiller rooms, blast freezer rooms, retail glass door cold rooms, insulation, and compressors.
These energy efficient refrigeration systems support stadiums, catering businesses, hospitality venues, and event organisers in ensuring food freshness, reducing costs, and improving supply chain logistics.
The Role of Cold Storage in Africa’s Events Industry
Enhancing Event Catering and Hospitality with Cold Storage
Large scale events require extensive food and beverage services, making cold storage essential for caterers, hotels, and stadium concession stands. Without proper refrigeration, food spoilage leads to financial losses, operational inefficiencies, and health risks.
Cold storage plays a crucial role in:
• Preserving perishable ingredients, including dairy, meat, and fresh produce, ensuring extended shelf life.
• Ensuring food safety and compliance with international hygiene standards.
• Allowing caterers to prepare food in advance, reducing last minute logistics challenges.
Africhill’s cold storage solutions enable event organisers to maintain seamless catering services, ensuring fresh, high-quality food throughout multiday events.
Optimising Beverage Storage for Large Scale Events
At concerts, sports events, and trade expos, chilled beverages are in high demand. Without proper refrigeration, drinks are either wasted due to spoilage or served warm, leading to customer dissatisfaction.
Africhill’s retail glass door cold rooms are designed to keep beverages at the ideal temperature while maximising display visibility. These cold rooms improve beverage sales by allowing customers to see and access drinks without affecting cooling efficiency.
Freezer rooms are another essential component of event refrigeration, for keeping ice, frozen desserts, and perishable beverages frozen to maintain product quality. With optimised cooling performance, event organisers can prevent financial losses due to spoilage.
Reducing Food Waste and Cutting Costs for Event Organisers
Food spoilage at large events is a common issue, leading to unnecessary waste and increased costs. Cold storage solutions help prevent financial losses by:
• Ensuring food remains fresh and safe to consume.
• Allowing event planners to store surplus food without wastage.
• Lowering energy costs through energy efficient refrigeration systems.
Africhill’s energy efficient refrigeration units enable businesses to store bulk ingredients while keeping electricity costs low. With superior insulation technology, these units maintain consistent cooling, preventing food spoilage and operational disruptions.
Streamlining Logistics for Large Scale Catering
Major events such as international summits, sports tournaments, and music festivals require extensive catering services. Without efficient cold storage, food preparation becomes a logistical nightmare.
Africhill’s modular cold storage solutions support large scale catering by:
• Allowing preprepared meals to be stored safely until needed.
• Reducing congestion in kitchen areas by offering extended storage capacity.
• Improving overall supply chain management, ensuring seamless event operations.
With Africhill’s fast-installation cold rooms, event organisers can set up refrigeration units quickly, ensuring food safety and logistical efficiency.
