Refrigerated Display Cases

Refrigerated display cases are essential fixtures in bakeries, delis, cafés, and grocery stores, offering a blend of product visibility and temperature control. These units are designed to keep perishable goods fresh while showcasing them in a clean, professional presentation. Common uses include displaying cakes, sandwiches, salads, beverages, and dairy products. They help create impulse-buy opportunities by allowing customers to clearly view products before purchase.

There are several types of refrigerated display cases available, including countertop, floor-standing, open-air, and enclosed models. Countertop units are ideal for smaller establishments with limited space, while floor models offer expanded capacity for higher-volume operations. Enclosed cases typically feature rear access for staff and a glass front for visibility, while open-air cases allow customers to access items directly—making them perfect for grab-and-go service.

Refrigerated cases vary by orientation and application. Horizontal or curved-glass cases are common for pastry and deli items, while vertical or upright merchandisers are suited for bottled drinks and packaged goods. Most models are built with LED lighting, adjustable shelving, and double- or triple-pane glass to enhance energy efficiency. Temperature controls are often digital, ensuring food stays within safe and consistent ranges.

When selecting a refrigerated display case, consider your service style, available space, and the type of product you plan to showcase. For example, a bakery may prioritize humidity control and low airflow for delicate pastries, while a deli might need wider temperature ranges for meats and cheeses. Look for cases that are easy to clean and maintain, especially in environments where cleanliness and hygiene are paramount.
