The Different Types of Refrigerated Display Cabinet
Refrigerated display cabinets are specifically designed to maintain the required temperatures to store and display food and drinks – whilst offering a solution to present products to your customers in a clear and visual way.
There are a range of cabinets depending on the type of product being stored. MTCSS refurbish various chiller and freezer cabinets including:
- Produce Cabinets
- Dairy Refrigerated Cabinets
- Meat Display Cabinets
- Full-Height Glass Door Freezer Cabinets
- Half-Height Glass Door Freezer Cabinets

Dairy Refrigerated Cabinets
These are open fronted fridge display cabinets that are mainly designed to allow easy viewing and selection of your dairy products inside.
Due to the product visibility it provides, dairy refrigerated cabinets are an excellent option to display your businesses fresh dairy products.
However, you must ensure that your dairy chiller cabinets are functioning optimally. If not, this could result in temperature changes (from a faulty refrigeration system). Therefore, cabinet maintenance should be carried out or kept on top of to protect your products from bacteria and spoilage.
Meat Display Cabinets
Like its name suggests, meat display cabinets are chilled cabinets specialised for the display and preservation of meats. Depending on the size of your business and the amount of products you wish to display will depend on the type of meat display cabinet you require.
Some of the benefits to meat display cabinets is that they’re easy to clean, attention-grabbing (due to customers being able to see all products at once), and they help to keep produce fresh and maintained!
However, storing and displaying raw meats means that you must ensure proper cleaning and maintenance is kept on top of to prevent bacteria and the spoilage of your products.
Full and Half-Height Glass Door Freezer Cabinets
Benefitting from a glass door design, your products are available to browse and purchase with ease.
These freezer cabinets provide the ideal way to preserve your frozen foods whilst also allowing your customers clear visibility of its contents.
Whenever you open the door of your refrigerated display cabinet, it’s likely that some heat will get inside, meaning your compressor needs to operate efficiently in order to maintain the internal temperature required to protect your dairy products – this is why you should always check that your cabinet doors are functioning properly so you can avoid disaster!
Chilled Refrigerated Cabinets
A chilled cabinet displays chilled foods and drinks whilst being kept cool at a consistent temperature.
They work by compressing a refrigerant, and then forcing the refrigerant to expand. The expansion of the refrigerant absorbs energy and then cools the evaporator coils within. A fan then circulates air across the evaporator coils, therefore cooling the air and producing a chilled temperature within the cabinet.
