Glass Door Refrigerator Freezers – Supermarket Applications

Glass door refrigerator freezers are common capital equipment items found in commercial food service establishments. Supermarkets in particular are one place where glass door refrigerators and found in large quantities. While some law students might have a glass doored display fridge in their quarters for accommodating their ‘liquid refreshments’, that really is not the typical use of these pieces of equipment!

Within supermarkets, this equipment is used for a variety of purposes. In the deli area of the store, they are important pieces of equipment for several reasons. Firstly, they allow the display of ‘in store’ created sandwiches, convenience precooked meals, and various side items – such as potato salads or coleslaws.

Equally important is the use of refrigerated display cases as a storage area for deli meats and cheeses. A good supermarket will have a large selection of such items available either by the slice or by pound. While cheeses are relatively durable – and also most cured meats – it is still wise to keep them somewhat chilled in store. Since they come in very large packages, it is possible that some of these items will be sitting in the deli for weeks before they are fully sliced and sold.

I don’t know about you, but I find a good supply of meat and cheese to be indispensable study aids. If I don’t have substantive food close to hand, I am likely to find an excuse to go on a fast food run. Being able to get this type of food from a supermarket fridge make a once a week run to the store a lot more time effective – and leaves a lot more time for brushing up my knowledge of Constitutional law!

Another major use for glass front refrigerators in the grocery store is in the dairy aisle. Most stores will have display fridges dedicated to a wide selection of milks – plain, low fat, fat free, flavored, soy, almond milk, etc… – and other dairy products. Yoghurts and Eggs are other big sellers that are typically stores within dairy-aisle glass refrigerator units.

Now I’m not exactly big no healthy food, I know some of my fellow classmates are. If my law school acceptance were an indication of wisdom and just not intelligence, I’m sure I would stock a range of supermarket dairy goods in dorm room – and if that were the case I’d really appreciate the supermarket dairy display cases.

The butchers section is another portion of the grocery store that requires a lot of glass front refrigerator and freezer solutions. Butchered meat needs – obviously enough – to be frozen until it is sold. A typical supermarket will have several different display case solutions in the meat aisle.

Firstly is open top refrigerator displays. These rely on the tendency of hot air to rise to retain their sub-freezing temperatures for storage of meats. A wide variety of prepackaged frozen cuts can be displayed for easy selection by the customer in these display cases.

A more traditional butcher shop look is achieved by the curved glass refrigerator cases found where the customer-facing butcher does his work. Here selections of raw meats are displayed, and the shopper can order them to their liking. The butcher then selects the meat, cuts them to the customers liking, and packages them on the spot.

Perhaps the most widely used display solution in a large supermarket is the multiple aisles of glass door freezers. These are essential in today’s marketplace to house the wide selection of frozen convenience foods available to consumers – from Frozen Pizzas, to TV dinners, to bags of frozen vegetables. Most stores will have many of these glass front freezer units installed.

While my diet has improved somewhat in recent years, I still like to stock up on hot pockets and stuffed jalapeno peppers. These are the types of student friendly easily prepared food readily found in the freezer aisle display cases I’m talking about.

While these various display fridge freezers must cost the supermarkets a small fortune, I think they probably get their moneys’ worth for them. I know it is not only time starved law students like me who appreciate the shopping convenience they offer!
