Camshelving does not deteriorate
Shelving in commercial foodservice operations must withstand a lot of abuse. We get it.
The constant loading and unloading, food spills, sliding heavy #10 cans across the shelves-all of these things are destined to create some wear and tear on shelving equipment.
However, there is no excuse for storing food on shelving that could potentially expose your customers to food contamination as a result of excessive rust or chipped paint particles.
The Problem
Over time, epoxy coated wire shelves peel, rust, collect build-up when not maintained properly. Additionally it could potentially lead to unsanitary conditions if they were to come into direct contact with food.
There is never an easy way of getting rid of rust once it becomes exposed. This is especially true of walk-in coolrooms and warewashing areas, which are typically moist environments. In these areas it does not take long before shelving starts to rust and deteriorate.
When operators get cited by the health inspector for their deteriorating shelving, they usually replace the bad shelving with more of the same type of bad shelving, thinking that this is the most economical route for their pocketbook.
While wire and/or epoxy-coated shelving may be less expensive initially, over time as several replacements are needed, this recurring expense would far exceed the cost of investing in a rust-free product to begin with. In addition to having shelving with excellent long-term value, operators would be supporting good food safety practices from the start.
"That old tired shelving has been there for you. Without it you could not successfully run your operation. But there comes a time when that shelving becomes more of a hindrance and risk to business and food safety. Flaking paint and rust are considered physical contamination hazards to food. Shelves that become impossible to clean due to unsmooth surfaces can harbor harmful bacteria. See, simply having restaurant approved shelving isn’t the answer; it’s just part of the answer. There are many shelving options available, the best advice I can give you is to take a look and add up the numbers to see what your shelving is really costing you in replacement costs, health code violations, kitchen inefficiencies and labour costs involved with cleaning,""

Easy to Erect, Easy to Change
Whenever I have the opportunity to install Camshelving in one of our customers businesses I am always impressed as to how easy the shelves assemble and when using add-on units how easy they go together.
And, once you have installed them in your storage area, should you require to change the configuration of the individual shelves at any time, that is easy to do as well.
Try that with most other styles of commercial shelving and you will quickly find that you have to disassemble and then reassemble in the new configuraiton. It is a real pain!
