Supermarkets rely heavily on cold storage, especially when it comes to meats, chilled foods, frozen foods, beverages, and ice cream. It is essential that supermarkets purchase the correct types of commercial refrigeration for different foods.
Here are the different types of commercial refrigeration recommended for supermarkets.
- Beverage cooler. A beverage cooler is a refrigerator that keeps sodas and juices cold and ready to drink. A supermarket would require a number of these, depending on the size of the establishment. A large unit like the 943L – 2 Door Beverage Cooler would be ideal.
- Ice cream freezer. Supermarkets often have stocks of popsicles. These must be chilled and kept frozen at all times. The 240L ice cream freezer is approximately waist high and has sliding glass doors at the top of the unit. A customer can simply view the contents of the ice cream through the glass lid and slide it open to reach their desired ice cream lolly.
- Frieza Island. This freezer is ideal for a variety of frozen foods. Be sure to keep different types of frozen foods in separate freezers. For example, use one freezer for chicken and another for frozen vegetables. The Island Freezer 758L Curved Glass Slider is a wide unit, so it can store a large amount of frozen food. The customer can comfortably pass through and view the contents through the glass top.
- Wall cooler. A wall mounted cooler is a large commercial refrigeration unit that has shelves at various levels. It can be placed against a wall, has no glass windows or doors, and is open at the front for easy access. Wall mounted coolers are the ideal units for foods that need to be kept chilled but not frozen. It is suitable for dairy products such as yogurt, butter, cheese and milk drinks.
- Refrigerators for meats/cold cuts. This catering equipment is designed with a glass window on the side facing the customer. It is open at the rear to allow supermarket staff to reach meat or deli items as per customer request. This display refrigerator comes in different sizes depending on your requirements.
These are the commercial refrigeration units that are recommended for supermarkets. Depending on the size of the supermarket, you may require more than one of each unit. Having the right restaurant equipment is essential to ensure that your customers receive a quality meal.
