Your Basic Commercial Refrigeration Equipment

Commercial refrigeration equipment inhabits a unique world. They must maintain the high temperatures common to industrial refrigerators, while maintaining the ease of use we associate with the fridges in our homes. While striking this balance, however, they must provide an additional service as well: They must sell the food they keep cold.

Here are five pieces of commercial refrigeration equipment that strike that balance particularly well:

The Arneg Lima 2. This beauty is exactly the piece of commercial refrigeration equipment you need to keep frozen pre-packaged foods cold and looking great. The Lima 2 is a horizontal wall-site cabinet, ideal for small and medium-sized grocery stores (like your corner mom-and-pop or a Trader Joe's), while maintaining all of the features of larger merchandising refrigerators.

The Tyler NM Series. The NM series is designed to display fresh meat while keeping it at the perfect temperature: Not frozen, but cold enough to keep it fresh and prevent foodborne illnesses. And it does all this while keeping the meat easy to restock.

The Hussman Mobile Spot Merchandiser. Perfect for selling impulse items like ice cream treats and other frozen goodies, these commercial refrigerators feature sliding tempered glass lids, lid door locks, swivel casters, hanging wire baskets and textured aluminum interiors. They also feature a wide variety of options.

The Tyler LPD. Everyone loves pizza. And everyone loves commercial refrigeration equipment. Tyler's LPD display combines the two in the ultimate customizable food preparation and storage device that keeps fresh pizza hot and packaged pizza cool.

The Hussman Q Series. You may not think of commercial refrigeration equipment as being elegant and classy, with lines reminiscent of a cross between an exclusive nightclub and the Batmobile. The Q Series is designed to display prepared foods in upscale, Whole-Foods-style supermarkets, and does its job particularly well. With an extensive capacity, solid surface inlay and extra-wide door opening, this is the Bentley of commercial refrigeration equipment.
