Island freezers

Multiplexable supermarket freezers that can create an island layout for 360° shopping experience and easy access to products.

While many businesses are aware of upright cabinet display freezers, freezers for ice cream, display chest freezers, and compact under counter and counter top freezers, island freezers and their complexities are not as well known.

Island Freezers; The Basics

One of the most effective ways to utilise commercial refrigeration in high-traffic establishments like supermarkets and large stores is by using island freezers. These freezers joined together, allow easy access to merchandise while maintaining necessary preservation temperatures. Known as "high vision freezers," they hold a wide variety of frozen products, enabling customers to browse freely. Centrally positioned, they create a 'frozen island,' hence the name. They are a great way to create an appealing layout and optimum shopping experience in convenience stores and supermarkets.

Setting Up Your Freezer Island

Island freezers usually come with sliding lids or open-top access for easy access to large quantities of frozen foods. When creating a frozen display paradise, consider the following factors:

  • Number of Freezers: Configure a layout with standard units sitting back-to-back, facing outward in blocks. Complete the island with head cases at either end for a 360° commercial frozen display.
  • Airflow: Ensure proper airflow to reduce energy consumption and prevent overheating. Use multiplex kits to join freezers and generate sufficient airflow from the centre of the island.

Common Features and Options for Island Freezers

Different brands offer various features to suit your needs. Here are some options:

  • Bumper Bars: These protect your units from clashes with shopping trolleys and baskets, reducing physical stress and maintenance costs.
  • Ticket Strips and Shelving Accessories: Additional central shelves can hold products at ambient temperatures for impulsive buyers. EPOS ticket strips allow easy price listing.
  • Multiplex Kits: Properly join two or more units to create the perfect alignment and ensure efficient airflow.

For attractively showcasing frozen merchandise, commercial display freezers are a great way to increase sales in any retail environment, and with the many features available, they are just as energy saving and efficient as other refrigeration types.
