Commercial Refrigeration Education

  • Why buy commercial refrigeration?
    Buying a residential refrigerator instead of a commercial refrigerator may seem more cost effective at first. However, commercial refrigeration units have many advantages you may not be aware of!
  • Reach-in refrigerators and freezers
    Your business needs will serve as your guide to select the appropriate reach-in freezer or refrigerator. With numerous models and sizes available, there is a unit suitable for all restaurants.
  • Blast Chilling Basics
    Blast chillers are designed to bring the core temperature of food down very quickly by blowing chilled air into the refrigerator. Quickly cooling food eliminates the possibility of bacteria growth.
  • Sell more with a merchandiser
    Merchandisers are available in multiple colors and sizes and include options such as internal lighting, mirrored walls and rotating shelves. Commercial merchandisers are the perfect selling tool, displaying products clearly for customers to see.
  • Bar Equipment: Appearance is Everything
    Back beer and bottle coolers are very visible to patrons in most bars and restaurants. Variables in external finish and door configuration are available to fit every theme.
Most commercial kitchens prepare food in different stages. While hot food items are cooking, kitchen workers will make salads, sandwich buns or put toppings on the next pizza at specialized preparation tables. These tables feature an ingredient rail and cutting board on top of a small refrigeration unit, which stores extra ingredients.

Convenience stores or restaurants can spur impulse drink or food sales by placing a countertop merchandiser right next to the cash register. Grocery stores, bakeries and delis that want to display their sliced meats, cakes and prepared sandwiches can use a curved-glass display case. Schools that serve half-pints of milk during lunch will benefit from coolers that are designed to hold crates of milk cartons.
