Not All Refrigeration Installs Are HACCP-Ready. Ours Are.
If your Brisbane, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast cool room or freezer isn’t HACCP-compliant from day one, it could cost you more than spoiled stock. From audit failures to fines, poor refrigeration installs are a silent risk for food businesses. At ACRO, we don’t just install refrigeration systems—we engineer HACCP-grade cold environments that keep you compliant, protected, and audit-ready 24/7.
We don’t just keep it cold—we keep it compliant.
🧯 The Hidden Dangers of a Non-Compliant Install
Most refrigeration installs look fine on the surface—but that’s not what an auditor sees. Behind the panels and pipework, the wrong install can lead to:
-
🚨 Temperature fluctuations that go undetected
-
🚪 Ineffective door seals allowing warm air and bacteria in
-
❌ Improper sensor placement that misrepresents storage temps
-
📉 Inadequate airflow causing uneven cooling
-
⚠️ Missing or uncalibrated data loggers—a major audit red flag
These issues don’t always show up immediately—but when they do, it’s often during your next HACCP audit.
✅ What Makes an ACRO Install HACCP-Grade?
We’ve created the ACRO HACCP-Grade Refrigeration Protocol™, a 9-point commissioning and install process specifically designed to meet the strictest compliance standards for:
-
Restaurants
-
Aged care facilities
-
Schools
-
Food processing plants
-
Cold chain logistics providers
Our install process includes:
-
🧼 Food-safe materials & finishes
-
📏 Optimised sensor placement for accurate monitoring
-
🔍 Calibrated thermostats and verified data logging
-
🧪 Audit-ready commissioning reports
-
📸 Before-and-after install photos for documentation
-
🌐 Remote monitoring setup or upgrade options
🛡️ “We Had No Idea We Weren’t Compliant…”
We’ve helped dozens of businesses retrofit or replace systems installed by contractors who didn’t understand food safety compliance. Often, we find the refrigeration cools, but doesn’t comply.
If you store food for sale, aged care, or education—compliance is not optional. A breakdown in cold storage protocols could:
-
Fail an audit
-
Trigger a recall
-
Put lives at risk
🧾 Every Install Comes With an Audit-Ready Report
When we finish your install, you receive a full HACCP-grade commissioning report, including:
-
Equipment specs
-
Performance data
-
Calibration records
-
Data logger verification
-
Technician sign-off
-
Photos for your HACCP folder
“Your cold room is only as safe as your install.”
