Refrigerated Display Case

What is Refrigerated Display Case

 

 

A display refrigerator, often referred to as a display fridge or commercial display, is a commercial refrigeration equipment specifically designed to store and showcase food products, drinks, and other perishable items to customers. While standard refrigerators focus solely on keeping items cold, display refrigerators combine functionality with visibility, thanks to their glass doors and strategic lighting. This design ensures customers can easily view the contents without the need to open the unit.

 

Advantages of Refrigerated Display Case
 
 

Superb lighting
Refrigerated display units are illuminated so you can present your products in the most attractive way. As a result, your dishes and other goods will look their best, and customers will be able to see what they are looking for clearly. Display refrigerators are perfect for showcasing a wide range of food, from meats, salads and dairy products to drinks, sandwiches and cream cakes.

 

Adaptable doors
Refrigerated display units can be adapted, allowing for various floor layouts. And where space is limited, sliding doors offer the perfect solution.
Shop display refrigerators are frequently opened and closed, so self-closing doors are an excellent option to conserve energy and maintain maximum performance.

 

Easy-to-read temperature displays
You can carry out scheduled temperature checks quickly and easily, ensuring that food is kept at the correct temperature.

 

Security
If you need to store high-value products in your refrigerated display unit outside trading hours, opt for lockable display cabinets to provide additional security for your stock when the premises are unattended.

 

Easy to clean and maintain
A glass-doored refrigerator needs little maintenance - a regular swift clean with a clean cloth and warm soapy water will keep it safe, hygienic, and beautiful. Keep the vents free of dust by vacuuming or by cleaning them with a cloth. Inspect the door seals regularly to prevent cold air from escaping, and have your refrigerators serviced annually by a qualified technician.

Types of Showcase Refrigerators and Their Uses
 

Standing showcase refrigerator
The most widely used showcase refrigerator is its standing type; These refrigerators are made in different sizes and they can be installed inside the wall to occupy less space. A standing showcase refrigerator is usually sold in lengths of 1 or 2 meters so that customers and sellers can easily access all its floors. These types of refrigerators may have one door or two doors; It means that a door is placed in the back of the goods to make it easier to place the goods. The front door is also for customers so that they can pick up their desired goods. Free standing showcase refrigerators are often used in restaurants and fast foods, butchers, supermarkets and large grocery stores.

 

The showcase refrigerator is lying down
If you like to buy ice cream, you must have used a lot of lying showcase refrigerators. These devices take up more space than other types and are a bit harder to check or access the goods inside. In contrast, it can be used for products that have a large volume and do not need to be all visible to customers. Ice cream stores, small supermarkets and dairy supers are the main buyers of these devices.

 

Double door and single door showcase refrigerator
The fact that the showcase refrigerator has two doors or one door can be interpreted in two ways. One is that one or two doors are placed in their front part; Naturally, products with two doors are larger and you should place them in a larger environment. Another interpretation is that a separate door has been placed in the back for placing goods so that sellers can easily put food or medicine inside; These products are often used in confectionery.

 

Air curtain showcase refrigerator
This type of showcase refrigerator is widely used in large stores these days and is often used to store protein and dairy products. The air curtain showcase refrigerator does not have a glass door and cold air flows in all its parts; As a result, it is much easier to access the food inside, and of course, you don't need to worry about cleaning the glass. Due to the fact that this type of refrigerator often has large dimensions, it is not suitable for small shops, but it is a practical and attractive choice for the owners of chain stores and large supermarkets.

 

Island showcase refrigerator
This product is one of the types of showcase refrigerators that are often used in chain stores. You can assign each part of it to a type of food so that you don't need to buy any other refrigerator. There are sliding doors in different parts of the refrigerator so that customers can access all the products in the refrigerator at the same time.

 

Curved glass showcase refrigerator
The application of the bent glass showcase refrigerator is often in confectioneries; Where customers choose their desired cake or sweets and the seller takes them out from the back of the refrigerator. These types of refrigerators are of the single-door type in the back; But their glass is double-sided so that both the customer and the seller can see the products inside.

 

How to Choose the Right Display Refrigerator
 

 

Selecting the right display refrigerator for your establishment is a crucial decision. It's not just about aesthetics; it's also about the practicality, functionality, and the needs of your business.

 

Importance of Visibility and Security of Products
Visibility plays a key role in influencing customers' purchasing decisions. Glass door display cases allow customers to view products without opening the door, maintaining temperature consistency. In establishments like bakeries and patisseries, the presentation of cakes and pastries can significantly impact sales. Additionally, security features like locks can prevent unauthorized access, especially in self-service settings.

 

Optimizing Space Utilization in Your Business
Space is a valuable commodity in businesses like convenience stores and cafes. The right display refrigerator can help optimize space. For instance, under-counter display refrigerators can be a great solution for bars and cafes, allowing them to showcase beverages without occupying additional floor space.

Understanding the Unique Features of Various Models

Different models come with unique features tailored for specific requirements. Some have humidity controls perfect for storing produce, while others might have specialized lighting to enhance the presentation of food items. Knowing these features can guide businesses in making an informed choice.

Considering Specific Settings for Particular Products

Different food items require different temperature settings. For instance, dairy products might need colder temperatures than beverages. Some advanced display refrigerators come with multiple temperature zones, allowing businesses to store various products optimally.

What to Know Before Making the Purchase

Before investing in a display refrigerator, businesses should evaluate their needs. Consider factors like the capacity, energy efficiency, and the size of the unit. It's also wise to look into the warranty, customer reviews, and after-sales services.

 

What Temperature Range Is Best for a Refrigerated Display Case
 

Refrigerated display cabinets are ideal for storing fresh food items or cold drinks safely whilst merchandising the products attractively to consumers to increase sales. In addition, display refrigerators provide customers with the opportunity to look at what's for sale and choose the items they want at their leisure, so they're ideal for a self-service setting. Various types of refrigerated display cases are available to meet the requirements of different businesses.

Accurate temperature control for temperature-sensitive food items

Domestic refrigerators typically offer a universal solution for keeping food cool. This one-size-fits-all approach is not appropriate for commercial food supply establishments. The requirements and standards for chilled food are higher in a shop or restaurant than in a simple domestic kitchen.

Temperature ranges explained

Commercial refrigerated display cases are designed to maintain consistent temperatures. Display refrigerators typically range from -1˚C and 10˚C while display freezers will maintain temperatures between -10°C and -25°C. These temperature ranges keep food products safe and meet standard environmental health regulations.


In food retail, various types of food must be stored and displayed at different temperatures, and it's essential to maintain the correct range for each. Doing this maintains the product's taste and texture and keeps it looking appealing to customers. Finally, keeping food products at the right temperature ensures your food is safe. If food such as meats, seafood, cheeses or patisserie were to spoil and make customers ill, it would be disastrous for the reputation of your business and your customers' health.


Please note: Refrigerated display cabinets are designed to keep food products cold, not to cool down hot food to a safe holding temperature. The temperature must be maintained between -2 °C and 5 °C, depending on the type of food; otherwise, food safety will be compromised.

 

For example, a refrigerated display case for displaying seafood such as caviar in a hotel or restaurant should be kept at -2 to 2 °C. On the other hand, a countertop refrigerated display case for drinks should provide a temperature of between 2 and 8 °C . these types of refrigerated display cases are ideal for selling pre-packaged beverages such as sodas, beers and juices in high-traffic areas where they will be restocked frequently.

Understanding food safety temperatures

Commercial food handlers and operators are responsible for storing food safely. The cold holding temperature of a refrigerated display case should be 5°C or below. This temperature prevents the growth of dangerous pathogens and bacteria, which is especially important if you are supplying temperature-sensitive foods such as seafood, cream, milk, egg dishes, meats and cheeses.


Don't overfill the chiller cabinet as if it's too crowded, the air can't circulate, and it will not perform as effectively. Check the temperature of your refrigerated display regularly using a fridge thermometer.

 

Showcase Refrigerator Design
 
 

Refrigerators are designed to store bulk foods such as sausages, pickles and pickles, cold foods, and flavored meats that need to be stored in a cool place.


In stores (large or small), supermarkets or hypermarkets, customers when entering the store space and the products are visible, allow them to easily choose what they need after review.


Refrigerators are designed to store bulk foods such as sausages, pickles and pickles, cold foods, and flavored meats that need to be stored in a cool place. The flow of cold air in this type of devices is rotating and sequentially on the products inside the refrigerator. The products in the device are alternately in the flow of cool air, and this air conditioning causes a lot of food and food products. Stay fresh and airy. The heat generated in the device is collected by the suckers and after cooling by the compressors, it is returned to the cooling system and placed in the cooling cycle of the device.


The length of the device is based on the regional location, customer needs and store owners' requests, and store space design. This length starts from 200 cm and can be ordered in any length. The cabin of this refrigerator showcase is designed based on two central engine room systems and a built-in (portable) engine. Complete observance of the refrigeration cycle and minimizing the cold outside and the absence of any heat bridge to increase the efficiency of the showcase refrigerator and reduce energy consumption is another point that company engineers have considered in designing this product. One of the processes performed in this regard is the use of polyurethane injection foam with a density of 40 kg / m3 in an integrated manner.


The cover of all the sheets used in the refrigerator showcases is made of electrostatic oven paint, and considering that this type of paint is one of the most resistant industrial paints and is very durable against impact, abrasion and moisture, and you can paint the refrigerator showcases. Select based on the division of product groups, decoration, organizational color, etc. For the visual beauty of the refrigerated showcases, it is possible to use the facade of finnish thermowood based on the customer's order.


In all refrigerators, showcases can be used with pvc coated separating baskets to separate products and organize them. Use stainless steel pipe bumpers at the bottom of the device to prevent shocks caused by the sudden collision of shop trolleys and pvc bumpers are installed on the body of the showcase refrigerator.

 

Steps to Clean Your Showcase Refrigerator
 

 

1

Unplug your refrigeration units
To eliminate the possibility of electrocution, the first thing you should do is unplug your showcase refrigerator or freezer. It's a quick and easy step, but it's also vitally important to preventing work-related injuries.

 
2

Empty each shelf of all items
The second step should be to remove all of the products in your fridge or freezer. Make sure to actually remove the containers, don't just move them to the other side of the fridge.

 
3

Throw away any expired or moldy food
Perishables can easily get lost in the mix by being pushed to the back or concealed behind other items in a large showcase refrigerator. Don't save anything you suspect of being spoiled - it's not worth the risk of making a customer sick. Already-opened cans and jars are other offenders to consider throwing in the trash (unless they've been properly labeled with the date and time of their opening). Live by the mantra, “when in doubt, throw it out.” any other food or ingredients you haven't used for months (or that you don't plan on using in the next few weeks) should also be tossed into a trash can or a recycling bin.

 
4

Completely wipe down the interior of the showcase refrigerator or freezer
Get a bucket with warm, soapy water and your choice of sponge to thoroughly clean your commercial fridge or freezer. Highly absorbent microfiber cloths and mitts are perfect for scrubbing down every inch inside your fridge and removing messes that have accumulated since the last cleaning. If you're having trouble reaching grime or stuck-on stains in tight corners, try using a simple toothbrush because the bristles are flexible and strong, helping to get into small spots and then scrub away the dirt. After you've thoroughly scrubbed down the interior of your fridge and freezer, rinse with clean water.

 
5

Disinfect with a sanitizer
Bacteria and mold can accumulate in a fridge over time, so it's important to disinfect surfaces with a sanitizer. Be sure to use a food-safe sanitizer, as you'll eventually be placing items back into the refrigeration units. Since you've already washed inside, you don't have to go overboard with sanitizing. A little goes a long way.

 
6

Vacuum the condenser and coils
Dust and debris saps the power being generated in your refrigeration unit's condenser and refrigeration coils by clogging air intake. Over time, dust and debris can collect on your showcase refrigerator, which can end up clogging the air intake. As a result, your condenser and showcase refrigerator coils will need to use more energy to take in air and keep your showcase refrigerator cool, resulting in a less-efficient fridge and a higher utility bill.

 
7

Clean underneath and on top of the showcase refrigerator or freezer
Keeping the area around your refrigeration units clean can be just as important as cleaning the units themselves. Thoroughly mop the floor under and around the fridge or freezer. If your units have casters, be sure to pull them away from the wall to reach the walls and floor behind and beneath the unit. Don't forget to dust the top of the unit, as well.
