Refrigerated Display Cases Key Terms

Keep apprised of refrigerated display terminology to order the right unit

Whether you use refrigerated display cases to store and sell merchandise for your floral, retail or restaurant business, learning key industry terminology related to the equipment allows you to order the best unit to suit your needs. Knowing related terms like “open air,” “stainless steel deck” and “magnetic seals” will not only help you select the proper refrigerated display case, but also assist when you’re discussing equipment troubleshooting or parts replacement with technicians, vendors or manufacturers.

Digitally controlled uniform temperature

Ensure you keep your products fresh with a refrigerated display case that has a digitally controlled uniform temperature unit. The feature will maintain an even temperature for the entire case to prevent warm spots that can lead to spoiling.

Open air

For retail establishments that allow customers to pull their own food and beverages to purchase, open air refrigerated display cases provide simple convenience. Because the units don't have glass-front swing doors, there will be less overall maintenance.

Magnetic seals

Reduce the energy consumption of your refrigerated display cases by purchasing units with magnetic seals to keep doors securely shut. The seals prevent cold air from escaping between uses.

Stainless steel deck

Ease clean up and improve the longevity of refrigerated display cases by purchasing units with stainless steel decks. Units that have decks with multiple levels will allow you to display items of varying shapes and sizes.

Sliding drawers

Sliding drawers make it easy to load and retrieve refrigerated food products on the bottom shelf of refrigerated display cases. Unlike units that feature glass doors that open in front, sliding drawers allow you to add content without disrupting clients standing near the unit.

Countertop refrigerated display case

Shops with limited floor space can showcase additional products with slim countertop refrigerated display case models that house sample dishes or special products of the day.
