SOME COMMON QUESTIONS

The H200 Filter has a lease cost of $1.33 (plus GST) a day (24hrs). Filters replace/refresh & invoiced monthly). Refer "Bulk Deals" for larger Chillers (Below)
One (H200) Filter panel per 5 cubic meters of Chiller space. Most of our Hospitality based business have Chillers around the 10 m2 to 20m2. So require 2 to 4 Filters ($2.66 to $5.32 a day). Some of our larger clients like Skyline, Millbrook, Liquor land etc take up to 22 filters over multiply Chillers, however for most of our clients, the daily cost of having our filters is less than buying a cup of coffee. A very minimal cost for the great benefit of less produce wastage ($$$ savings), and having fresher and safer food.
A very large number of variables to this equation (Size, application, staff etc). Every business has differing amounts of Power consumption, Food/product wastage, Shrinkage & Trim costs. And not all business calculate those losses. However one trail with the “Mad Butcher” show a Cost/benefit of approx. 30% ration for just “shrinkage” (meat loss wastage) alone. That is for every $100 this business saved due to the presence of our filters, the costs of the filter was $33. Most our of hospitality clients see savings associated to our filters absorbing ethylene in the chiller environment resulting in less food wastage (up to 50%). Other savings include less power usage (10-20%), less chiller maintenance costs etc. Plus of course offering your clients better consistency of product.

Each month when we “refresh” (replace with a new one) we note the Chillers temperature and conditions on a scale (0-5) for “Moisture, Mould, Odour & Icing”. This is presented to the client as a annual report. It is not an exact science more an observation while refreshing the filters each month. Many of our clients utilise our Annual Chiller Reports to re-enforce/backup their FSP (Food Safety Plans), helping with the businesses legislative requirements.

Our filters both absorb and de-absorb humidity at around 80 to 85%. (Depending on Chiller management by your staff). By helping to stabilise humidity in your Chiller, the refrigeration equipment does not have work so hard, meaning less running time, and hence less electricity :). Approx 5 to 10%.
