RETAIL DISPLAY
Many of those now selling aged meat are experimenting with other meats including lamb, venison and pork, rather than just traditional beef, and the results are proving popular. The market is likely to broaden and extend as more businesses look to add this capability. It’s important to be careful about ageing
different meats together, as they can change the dynamics of the ageing process and can potentially lead to spoilage if done incorrectly. For example, pork and beef do not age well together while venison and beef do.
Besides ageing your own product the use of specialised equipment also opens up the possibilities for new revenue streams. For example, Stephen also allows customers to rent space in his cabinets allowing them to age their own meat. Williams has produced a Guide to Meat Ageing that’s available to download for free from the guides section of the Info Centre at williams-refrigeration.

Multidecks Multidecks are a popular choice for creating eye catching displays in a range of retail establishments including supermarkets, hospitals, restaurants and schools.. They allow for easy access. There are a number of factors to consider when choosing multideck equipment to minimise energy consumption and keep costs down. Minimising the environmental impacts of your equipment not only helps the planet but can also help reduce your running costs. Hydrocarbon refrigerants have excellent thermodynamic properties, with low GWP (Global Warming Potential) and zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential). Open-fronted multidecks are ideal for
grab and go, since they give easy access for customers, encouraging sales. However, they are not as energy efficient as multidecks with doors. This is because the protective curtain of air keeping food at a safe temperature may leak into the aisle which can waste energy and make it chilly for customers walking by. To reduce this problem, manufacturers have come up with a variety of innovative solutions to keep the cold air in the cabinet and thus reduce energy consumption.
When specifying a Multideck it’s worth considering how much they can be tailored to suit your site and application. LED strip lights are now a standard feature on all multidecks.
