London rack and storage planning

London Economic Development Corporation describes an agri-food sector with varied processing activities. Storage planning should therefore start with the specific ingredients and containers involved, rather than a single generic food-storage specification.

Local context: London agri-food context. The planning questions below apply this context to a possible purchasing task.

Define the storage task

For a kitchen or production area changing between batches, list unopened ingredients, in-use containers and cleaned empty containers separately. Explain when each moves into the work area and who replenishes it. Can lanes may suit one packaged ingredient while trays need supported runners. Record the actual container formats and labels rather than estimating from the overall room size.

Compare the right starting points

Compare sheet-pan racks for trays with can rotation racks for packaged stock and shelving for mixed containers. Check access for cleaning around and beneath the proposed arrangement with the facility team. Do not assume a mobile pan rack is suitable for an oven or a cold room. Environment and process requirements must be attached to the exact product enquiry.

A useful brief for this project

  • Tray and container formats
  • Batch changeover sequence
  • Cleaning and temperature conditions

Planning question

Does a tray rack automatically support baking or chilling?+

No. A storage configuration has to be checked for its intended environment. Provide the process and required evidence before choosing a product.
