Protect your customers, your brand, and your bottom line with professional hygiene inspections from Acro Refrigeration.

Why Hygiene Inspections Matter

In hospitality, retail, healthcare, and food production, your cold storage and refrigeration systems aren’t just assets — they’re part of your food safety chain.

Over time, even well-maintained systems can develop:

  • Bacterial growth (like pink mould or slime)

  • Drainage issues (from blocked P-traps or lines)

  • Moisture and condensation buildup

  • Hidden dirt in fan motors, coils, or drip trays

These issues don’t just affect performance — they can lead to non-compliance, health risks, customer complaints, and equipment damage.

Case Study Example

A Gold Coast hotel switched to Acro Refrigeration after odours and ice machine issues were ignored by a previous provider. Our first hygiene inspection revealed pink bacterial growth inside the ice machine, likely due to poor drainage and lack of internal cleaning. We resolved the issue in 4 hours, and the hotel now relies on us for quarterly hygiene servicing and PMA.
