Wasgau market in Rodalben

On March 26, 2024, the Wasgau market in Rodalben (Germany) was ceremoniously reopened after a new construction. With a total area of 2,200 square meters, the location presents itself as the most modern of its kind and offers an appealing shopping atmosphere. Of this, 1,432 square meters are dedicated to sales space, while the remainder is used for deliveries and parking.

The focus of the new market is on regionality and sustainability. The product range includes up to 300 types of fruits and vegetables from local growers within a maximum radius of 120 kilometers. The butcher's shop offers high-quality organic products and specialties from free-range farming.

Sustainable construction and building technology

Innovative technologies and environmentally friendly construction methods promote sustainability, including a wooden framework to enhance energy efficiency, the use of waste heat, LED lighting, and a photovoltaic system on the roof. A special feature is the green roof with lichen growth that stores and filters surface water. The building technology comes from GTM Gebäudetechnik Management GmbH based in Remscheid and ensures optimal air quality as well as regulated room temperatures in various zones of the market, including checkout areas, sales floors, storage rooms, and staff areas. The joint control strategy of building and refrigeration technology enables highly efficient heat and cooling generation from commercial refrigeration and environmentally friendly heat pumps.
Refrigeration solution
Efficient ROXSTAsmart CO₂ booster

Technologically, the market relies on advanced solutions. The CO2 booster ROXSTAsmart with four normal cooling and three deep-freeze block compressors provides sustainable cooling, with normal cooling having a capacity of 64 kW and deep-freezing having a capacity of  19 kW. 

TEKO Whiteline evaporators in the cooling and freezing rooms contribute to the system's efficiency while heat recovery is used to support space heating. The refrigeration system was successfully installed by RS Kälte-Klima GmbH.

Control electronics solution

Precise temperature control with Wurm Systems

The control technology is provided by Wurm GmbH & Co. KG and manages the refrigeration system with a total of 35 cooling points. The FRIGOTAKT control system is employed to ensure optimal temperature management at all times by individually regulating each refrigerated furniture segment. Various refrigerated displays are available in the market, including a 30-meter-long refrigerated shelf, a 13-meter-long refrigerated service counter, as well as 12-meter-long freezers with a total of 15 doors. Additionally, there are two jumbo freezer islands measuring 6.5 meters each, four refrigerated rooms, and two freezer rooms. Online tools support Wasgau employees in individually optimizing energy use for each market as well as in their daily HACCP tasks, contributing to the efficiency and functionality of the market.

 

Conclusion: A modern shopping experience

Thus, the new market combines regionality, sustainability, and innovative technologies into a modern shopping experience for customers. TEKO is proud to contribute to this innovative concept.
