Rewriting the rulebook

SKOPE Refrigeration has rewritten the rule book on what hospitality businesses can expect from their fridges. The new ActiveCore 2 features cutting-edge energy efficiency enabled by the use of Hydrocarbon, a natural refrigerant that gives it virtually zero Global Warming Potential (GWP). A two-door top mount can now cost less than $450 a year to run when many of its competitors still cost over $1000 for comparable fridges.

It also features SKOPE-connect, a control and management app that helps hospitality businesses save money, reduce food waste and monitor food safety from mobile devices. The app gives food service managers control over all the ActiveCore 2 fridges on multiple sites via Bluetooth. As soon as they walk on-site, they can set temperatures, review energy use, turn lights on and off, and compare up to five months of data to review things like beverage popularity.

ActiveCore 2 owners also receive tailored alerts when a fridge strays outside a set temperature. They receive a diagnosis of the cause as well as suggested remedies (like cleaning the air filter) that can help them avoid a costly service callout.

“As power bills continue to grow and governments begin to legislate to protect the environment from the impacts of climate change, we decided to develop a cutting-edge fridge that fits the bill for the times we live in,” said Guy Stewart, managing director of SKOPE Industries.

ActiveCore 2 is an evolution of the ActiveCore series released in 2015, featuring the same interchangeable refrigeration cartridge that helps minimise the impact of repair and maintenance.
