Island Freezer – Horizontal
An island freezer (horizontal type) is a commercial refrigeration unit commonly used in supermarkets and hypermarkets to store and display frozen products. It’s called “island” because it’s usually placed in the middle of the store layout, allowing customers to access it from multiple sides.
Key Features
- Horizontal Orientation: Wide, open-top design for bulk storage and easy product access.
- Temperature Control: Maintains deep-freeze conditions (around −18 °C or lower).
- Large Capacity: Ideal for storing high volumes of frozen foods like meat, seafood, ice cream, and ready-to-eat meals.
- Accessibility: Customers can reach products from all sides, making it convenient in busy retail environments.
- Energy Efficiency: Modern units often include sliding glass lids to reduce energy loss while keeping products visible.
Applications:
- Supermarkets & Hypermarkets: For bulk frozen food display.
- Wholesale Stores: Large capacity suits bulk buyers.
- Food Retail Chains: Seasonal promotions and high-demand frozen items.
Advantages:
- High storage capacity compared to vertical island freezers.
