ORION ISLAND Freezer in Focus at FREOR’s New Sales Location – Malta

FREOR’s sales geography continues to expand. Its latest new location is the island country of Malta, more specifically Victoria City, where the Arkadia Foodstore supermarket chose FREOR commercial refrigeration equipment in line with its focus on ensuring a great customer shopping experience. The supermarket was especially keen on the company’s ORION ISLAND freezer, which it decided to make the centerpiece of its frozen product department.

ORION ISLAND is one of FREOR’s most unique offerings: a semi-vertical medium-height plug-in freezer cabinet that is an excellent display solution for frozen products. The freezer island operates on environmentally friendly propane gas (R290) refrigerant, ensuring perfect cooling and reduced energy consumption.

With 3 or 4 food display levels, ORION ISLAND offers flexibility for merchandise presentation and uses valuable floor space much better than a chest freezer. Its medium height and frameless glass doors provide outstanding product visibility and easy access for a pleasant shopping experience.

Additional FREOR Cooling Equipment Throughout the Store

To complete its frozen product department and optimally use that space, the Arkadia supermarket picked ERIDA upright freezer to place by the wall. Its large glass panels offer an amazingly clear view of products at the customer eye level, even from a distance.

For the fresh product display, the supermarket went with FREOR JUPITER multidecks with glass doors and JUPITER F&V with an inclined display surface for fruits and vegetables. All FREOR’s JUPITER multideck models incorporate a double air curtain as standard. That feature brings substantial energy savings and eliminates the uncomfortable chill that shoppers often experience in the refrigerated departments of supermarkets.

FREPR also implemented PLUTON SPACE semi vertical, with a wide and comfortable product reach, and VEGA SPACE QB HG serve-overs.

FREOR’s Efficient Hydroloop Glycol Cooling Solution

The Arkadia Foodstore operates all of this refrigeration equipment on a Hydroloop Glycol cooling system from FREOR, which uses a very small quantity of environment-friendly, energy-efficient R290 refrigerant. The system does not require a separate machinery room, thus saving even more space in the store.

Since refrigeration equipment on a Hydroloop Glycol system operates independently, any failure of one unit does not affect other equipment, minimizing the potential loss of products. And there is no need to close the store to replace or add new equipment – again ensuring a comfortable and reliable shopping experience.

The Arkadia Foodstore project was carried out with FREOR’s partner in Malta – Angelo Aquilina Refrigeration Supplies.
