Important Information

Rev. 0904

The AB Meat merchandisers are easy to work, attractive merchandising display cases capable of maintaining superb product quality, with the installation of the proper controlling devices.These should be set according to the manufacturer’s specifications and combined with a properly maintained humidity system. Incorrect settings and failure to maintain the humidity system will result in short product life from dehydration, shrinkage and discoloration. Below are a few guidelines to ensure optimum performance and product life.

•Review the Case Specification in this book to verify thermostat setting. Do not set temperature too cold, as this causes product dehydration.

•Temperatures should be achieved by a t-stat and suction solenoid at each case.Do not use EPR valves, liquid line solenoids or electronic control devices of any kind. These controls allow temperature swings causing product dehydration and excessive energy consumption.

•Defrost cycles should be set according to the Case Specifications in this book

•Clean humidity system a minimum of every 90 days for proper system operation.

•Work and rotate product – not to exceed a four (4) hour period.

•At night turn off case lights and cover product with moistened cheesecloth or fabric towels.

•Keep meat holding box at 32°.

•Keep meat prep room refrigerated at 55°.

•Meat bloom box (if applicable) should be at 36°.

•Meat must enter the case at 40° or below. Product deterioration is very rapid above 40°.

•Maintain sanitary conditions throughout the meat holding, prep and working areas.

•Do not display product directly within the air discharge.

•Turn and rotate the meat.The blood which gives the pink color works down in time which causes surface discoloration and dehydration. When turned before this condition occurs the other side is kept in good color (bloom) condition.The meat can even be turned (3) three and (4) four times.

•It is not required at night to remove the product from the case.Turn the lights off at night and cover the product.We recommend you use a moistened cheesecloth or towels. This helps slow down the product dehydration process by taking the moisture from the cloth and not from the product.This is an old method that meat shops have used for many years. It works and helps to gain extended product life.

•Cold coils remove heat and moisture from the case and deposit it as frost on the coil. Thus a defrost is required to remove this frost. Our humidity system adds moisture to the case and helps slow down the dehydration process.The only other moisture in the case is in the product. A single level of meat in a case will dry out much faster than a fully loaded case with three to four levels of meat.

•The colder the case, the faster the product loses its moisture and shelf life. It is very important to maintain a constant even product temperature (see Case Specifications).
