What is a greengrocer display cabinet?
A greengrocer display cabinet is a wall type refrigerated cabinet designed to display fruit and vegetables while preserving their freshness. Fruit and vegetables behave differently from other food groups: too low a temperature damages the product, while insufficient cooling causes freshness to fall away quickly. For this reason greengrocer cabinets are configured in an operating class suited to their own product group.
Correct cooling for fruit and vegetables
The aim in a produce cabinet is not to freeze the product but to preserve its post-harvest freshness for as long as possible. Balanced air distribution prevents the product from drying out or collecting moisture at particular points. The open display structure lets customers reach the product easily while a continuous cold curtain holds the product temperature.
Shelf layout suited to crate placement
The shelf layout of greengrocer cabinets is designed around the placement of standard produce crates. Crates sitting properly on the shelf both speed up restocking and allow the product to be displayed without being crushed. Shelf depth and angle are set so that products in the back row remain visible.
Lighting and presentation
With fruit and vegetables, colour directly affects the purchase decision. Cabinet lighting that emphasises the natural colour of the product without distorting it is one of the most important parts of the presentation. Positioning the produce run close to the store entrance is also a common layout choice.
What to consider when choosing a greengrocer cabinet
When choosing, assess together the store's daily produce turnover, the crate dimensions to be used, the length of the cabinet run and its position in the store, ease of loading and replenishment, and access for cleaning.
