New ‘Fast Blast’ service sees blast freezers delivered quicker than ever

Businesses in need of additional blast freezing capacity are benefitting from a new two-week turnaround service introduced by cold storage specialists & Cold Chain Federation member Blue Cube.

The Blue Cube ‘Fast Blast’ delivery service means customers can get additional capacity on their sites within 14 days.
The team’s current record installation time for a wholesale bakery based in the south of England was just four days after the customer first made an enquiry.

Blue Cube technology also means that once the units are on site, they work faster than standard equipment allowing customers to freeze more products in the same amount of time.

One raw meat supplier is now freezing twice as much product in one day than they were able to with their previous unit.
And by using less energy, the Blue Cube units are also significantly reducing electricity bills, meaning customers are saving time and money as well as cutting their carbon footprints.

Project Engineer Paul Hughes explained: “Speed is so important in the cold chain and we want to make sure companies have the facilities they need as soon as possible.
“We’ve had customers call us who’ve been having to wait two or three months to get more units on site. That can feel like a lifetime when there’s work to be done.
“I like to think we’ve always been fast and flexible at Blue Cube, but the new processes we have introduced have really streamlined our capabilities and mean we can deliver faster than ever before.
“The guy we delivered to in four days still can’t believe it! He called us on the Monday and he was putting product in his new unit on the Friday!
“We needed a crane for that install but that isn’t a problem. It was still up and running the same week the customer first contacted us. That’s just what we can do now.”

Blue Cube’s Fast Blast offer is a co-ordinated service provided by the team at office headquarters in Stafford and the operational team based in Tuxford.

Units can be delivered throughout the UK to customers in the food, maritime, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and distribution industries.
The Blue Cube team monitors all new units centrally via a live status dashboard and support is available 24/7. Remote intelligence ensures engineers can support customers in maximising uptime and reducing costs.
