Do you use your freezer capacity more for long term storage? Then a chest freezer is another good option. are on par with freezers in terms of capacity, but thanks to the flexible layout you can often store more in them. Chest freezers are also more practical when you have many of the same frozen products in stock, such as large packs of French fries, ice cream, fish or deep fryer snacks. Another good freezer option, specifically for fast freezing, is a which cools food down to 3°C in approx. 90 minutes and to -18°C in approx. 4 hours. This is not only good for food safety, but also preserves the quality of ready made dishes.
What should I consider when buying a freezer?
Where will you put the freezer? Each freezer has a maximum ambient temperature at which it will function optimally. If you place it next to an oven or near a window in direct sunlight, this will affect its operation and energy consumption. In addition, it is useful to check which way the door opens.
You should also consider the available space, what’s on your menu at the moment and whether you will want to expand in the near future. Due to the wide selection, making the right choice may take some time. The advantage of the large selection is that there is always a freezer for you. You can, of course, always ask Maxima's specialists for advice.
A freezer is on 24 hours a day, which makes it a major energy consumer in your food catering business. Maxima's modern freezers only use a fraction of the energy compared to an old freezer. So even if your old freezer still works, energy consumption could be an argument for replacing it with a modern freezer.

How do I clean my freezer?
Cleaning freezers and fridges is generally quite simple. The use of stainless steel or metal makes all large surfaces easy to wipe down. For this, a damp cloth with a mild detergent is sufficient. To clean the inside, you first need to defrost the freezer. You do this by unplugging and emptying it of all its contents. You can place your products in a refrigerator while cleaning the freezer.
Maxima's freezers also have a special cooling cycle that reduces the formation of ice. However, this can still occur after a while. You can speed up the defrosting a bit by loosening the ice with a plastic ice scraper. After defrosting, clean the inside using warm water and a little bit of detergent. Use a good quality, microfibre cloth to dry everything again when finished. Turn the freezer back on when everything has dried completely. Put your products back in the freezer a few minutes after turning back it on.
