Bonfire Night to Christmas: Protecting Cold Chain Through Peak Events

From late October firework weekends through Christmas production, UK cold stores face uneven demand, longer shifts and more door traffic. Plant that is only just coping will struggle once peak volumes land.

At EJM Refrigeration we see the same pattern across industrial and commercial sites: small issues left unresolved become expensive interruptions. A clear plan, competent engineers and timely maintenance keep temperatures stable and costs under control.

Event weeks amplify weak points

Extra marshalling, delayed inbound and last-minute order spikes all increase open-door time. Evaporators frost faster, alarms fire more often and tired condensers lose headroom just when you need it.

Stabilize before the rush

  • Retune defrost for heavier traffic
  • Confirm out-of-hours alarm response
  • Repair door seals and traffic damage
  • Clear outdoor condensers of leaves and litter
  • Agree critical spares and temporary cooling options

Our service and maintenance team can run a focused peak-readiness visit. For larger upgrades, talk to us about industrial refrigeration options before diaries lock for December.

If your site is planning works, reviewing energy use, or simply needs a reliable service partner, our team can help from initial survey through installation and ongoing maintenance.

If you would like advice on your plant, a site survey, or a planned maintenance proposal, contact EJM Refrigeration on 01429 836161 or email info@ejmrefrigeration.co.uk.
