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.

Frequently Asked Questions – Refrigeration Hygiene Inspections
What is a commercial refrigeration hygiene inspection?
It’s a professional assessment of your refrigeration systems — including cool rooms, freezer rooms, underbench fridges, and display cabinets — to identify hygiene risks such as mould, biofilm, blocked drains, or coil contamination that can affect food safety and system performance.
Why is hygiene important in commercial refrigeration?
Poor hygiene can lead to foul odours, inefficient cooling, spoiled stock, and non-compliance with food safety standards. Bacteria and mould can build up on evaporators, fan guards, seals, and drains — even if the fridge is working correctly.
Is this the same as a general service or maintenance visit?
No. A hygiene inspection focuses specifically on cleanliness, biological risks, and contamination — not just mechanical performance. It often goes beyond standard servicing to assess hidden risks that affect compliance and food safety.
What does your inspection include?
We check:
-
Evaporator and condenser coil condition
-
Drain trays and condensate outlets
-
Door seals, gaskets, and strip curtains
-
Presence of mould, dust, or sludge
-
Airflow blockages and insulation damage
-
Temperature stability and sensor issues
A written hygiene report is provided with any risks or recommendations.
Do you offer deep cleaning or remediation if issues are found?
Yes. We can arrange professional cleaning of contaminated units, removal of mould or sludge, and disinfection of critical components. We also replace seals and clean blocked drains.
Will this help us meet food safety or HACCP requirements?
Yes. Hygiene inspections support your food safety compliance by identifying and rectifying potential risks before they lead to spoilage or audit failure.
How often should refrigeration hygiene inspections be done?
We recommend every 6–12 months, depending on the environment, usage intensity, and food storage types. High-traffic kitchens and sites with raw food storage may require more frequent checks.
What areas do you service?
We conduct hygiene inspections for commercial refrigeration systems across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and surrounding SE Queensland areas.
