Thanks to gaps between the rods, wire shelves provide better air circulation.
Depending on the equipment’s purpose and expected effects. That’s why shelves are made from different materials, in order to choose the best option for different conditions. The choice should be well-considered to optimize product storage using this product as much as possible.
Air Circulation
A very important aspect in refrigeration equipment. A glass shelf is a solid material with no gaps in its structure. Meanwhile, a wire shelf has a completely different structure – a series of rods arranged parallel and perpendicular to each other. Wire elements arranged together in this way create open space that enables better airflow. The gaps between the rods ensure better air circulation, which is responsible for even cooling of products. This prevents excessive spoilage of products.
Wire shelf vs. glass shelf
Currently, various categories of shelves are available, distinguishing primarily by material and size. Shelves are made from glass, plastic, or metal rods. However, regardless of the chosen material type, using them should be convenient and functional.
Wire Shelf Specifications
Wire shelves are manufactured from wire with thickness ranging from ø1.5 mm to ø10 mm. Additionally, depending on the shelf’s use, we can select the product finishing method, e.g., in the food service industry, a plastified shelf works better than stainless steel or powder-coated ones. This is because a plastified shelf feels more like plastic than metal.
Available Wire Shelf Finishes
Fluidized bed coating creates a durable and resistant coating. For this reason, this product protection is now very popular. The plastic coating obtained through the fluidization process reduces the likelihood of breaking glass or porcelain items. All information about fluidized bed coating – fluidized bed coating.
Glass Shelf
A glass shelf is finished with plastic or metal elements. It is made from tempered glass, which makes it more resistant to damage than regular glass. However, it is one solid surface, which does not support good airflow. This means that by using a wire shelf, we achieve better airflow in the equipment than when using a glass shelf.
What Shelves Do Retailers Offer
Customer choice is mainly based on visual aspects. We also pay attention to functionality, price, and aesthetics. Currently, retailers offer more equipment with glass shelves, despite their higher price. Meanwhile, wire elements have many advantages that we forget about. They are more resistant to damage than glass ones – glass breaks easily. Additionally, the shelves or wire elements available from us, e.g., in the form of wire baskets, have an attractive price, much lower than glass shelves.
Available Products – Material
The material we use for production is stainless steel and carbon steel. For refrigerators, we also use wire elements in basket form. You can choose the dimensions of your shelf yourself – length, width, and type of corrosion protection, e.g., fluidized bed coating.
Product Delivery
When purchasing any product, delivery is also an important issue. At SHELMO, to avoid damage, products are very well secured on all sides. We strive to ensure that every order shipment runs smoothly and that the material arrives to the customer in like-new condition.
