What is an upright freezer cabinet?
An upright freezer cabinet is a vertical refrigeration cabinet that stores and displays frozen food and ice cream at the appropriate temperature. Frozen product is the most sensitive link in the cold chain; even a short rise in temperature causes crystallisation on the surface of the product and a loss of quality. For this reason, in freezer cabinets temperature stability is a criterion that comes before display.
Critical points in displaying frozen products
In freezer cabinets, door opening frequency, shelf fill level and air distribution all work together. Filling the shelves evenly allows cold air to circulate properly inside the cabinet. Light frost on the surface of products is normal; thick ice build-up, however, is a sign of temperature fluctuation and calls for the layout or the working routine to be reviewed.
Upright cabinets with glass doors
Upright freezers with glass doors preserve the visibility of frozen product while offering the energy advantage of closed display. The vertical structure displays more product at eye level than a horizontal freezer occupying the same floor area. The number of doors is determined by the range of frozen products and the sales volume of the business.
Built-in compressor and central system options
Freezer cabinets can work on their own with their own refrigeration unit, or be connected to a central refrigeration system. Models with a built-in compressor operate without requiring a central system installation and are therefore preferred in small and medium-sized businesses. As the number of cabinets increases, a central system comes to the fore in terms of energy and maintenance.
What to consider when choosing an upright freezer cabinet
When choosing, assess together the product group to be stored, daily sales volume, the position of the cabinet in the store, the number of doors and the shelf layout, whether it will run with a built-in compressor or be connected to a central system, and access for cleaning and maintenance.
