5 ways to maximise your commercial kitchen storage

Efficient, strong shelving can revolutionise your commercial kitchen. Don’t put up with wasted, forgotten food at the back of shelves. Sufficient airflow reduces mould and extends the life of your dry goods. Great organisation can keep food off the floor and easily accessed. Stop wasting time looking for that essential ingredient.

Camshelving, by the masters in kitchen storage, Cambro, have designed a range of shelving options that have transformed commercial kitchens around the world. Less food is wasted through poor organisation. Less labour is wasted finding ingredients, and less money is wasted in time and food loss.

Here are 5 ways Camshelving by Cambro can keep your kitchen running smoothly

1. Lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion

All Cambro Camshelving are robust, durable and comes with a lifetime guarantee against rust.

Each shelf is made with a strong metal core that withstands the weight needed for shelving. Then Cambro added a composite plastic called polypropylene that covers the metal. Polypropylene is incredibly durable. It resists bending, cracking and dents. Polypropylene is also stain, odour and chemical resistant, so it wipes clean or can be washed easily in the dishwasher.

The combination of metal and polypropylene is perfect for shelving. Food doesn’t get trapped in hard to clean places. The shelves won’t warp over time, and you won’t waste money replacing rusted or corroded parts. The vents encourage air flow, so your dry goods last longer.

2. Removable shelf plates

Each shelf simply sits on top of two traverses. They can be lifted out of place, wiped clean or washed in the dishwasher. Each shelf is incredibly sturdy, with no wire grooves trapping food and no screwed plates. They can be independently removed from each other. So, you don’t need to remove the top shelf to get to the bottom shelf.

if your ingredients change with the season, you can also change the shelf height. Traverses can be removed and moved up or down, depending on how high you need the shelf.

3. Antimicrobial CamGuard

Storerooms, freezers and coolrooms need to minimise cross-contamination and bacterial growth. Camshelves are made with CamGuard, a protective barrier that discourages microbes.

CamGuard is a chemical permanently embedded into the shelves during the manufacturing process. CamGuard is blended throughout the shelving system. It can’t wash off or deteriorate.

4. Innovative accessories

Stop storing your goods in boxes. Instead, build your shelves to support your ingredients.

• Shelf Rails: Stop fruit rolling off the side of your shelf. Shelf rails keep contents secure on all sides of your unit.
• Shelf Dividers: Not all contents are the same height, especially when stacked. Shelf dividers stop stacked packages from becoming unorganised. They also keep condiments bottles from tipping over.
• Divider Bars: Save space and create an orderly shelf. Install food boxes and food pans to sit straight or at an angle on your Camshelving unit for easy access.
• Camshelving Ultimate Sheet Pan Rack for Single Shelf: Free up mobile speed racks and maximise storage in your coolroom, freezer or prep stations.
• Camshelving Pegboard: Organise those little things that get the own together in a box. Neatly hang frequently used small items. Lids, drain shelves, tongs, spoons, ladles, or spatulas can b hung on a pegboard where they’re easily seen and frees up valuable shelving space.
• Single Shelf Security Cage: Store valuable alcohols, meats and belongings securely on your shelf in the security cage. The cage attaches to the shelf and is rust and corrosion free. Perfect for coolrooms and freezers.

5. Open corners

Most shelves meet at a corner with a post blocking access to products. Reaching around the post for ingredients is annoying, hides ingredients and slows you down.

Camshelving is designed so corners are open. No post blocks your view of products.

Camshelving units can lock together at corners, supporting each other. That way, the posts are out of your way. So, you can access food faster and easier.
