Upright Display Freezers

An upright display freezer puts frozen product in front of the customer — glass doors, interior lighting and often a lit header sign, so the cabinet does the selling.

The trade-off against a solid door is running cost: glass insulates less well, so a display freezer works harder. That is worth paying for in a retail aisle and wasted in a store room.

Single, double and triple door cabinets are stocked, along with gelato scoop freezers and self-contained multideck units for open-fronted retail display. Skope, Framec and Hussmann supply the range.

Typical retail specifications are the SKOPE SKFT1500N-AC three glass door freezer with lit sign and the TMF1500N-AC.

Position matters: keep display freezers out of direct sun and clear of air conditioning outlets, both of which will drive condensation on the glass.
