How to choose Reach-In Refrigerators and Freezers?

Nearly every commercial kitchen will need the storage a commercial reach-in refrigerator offers; finding the right one can make a big difference in how smoothly your kitchen runs. The wide variety of commercial reach-in refrigerator on the market can make deciding on one seem daunting, but this same diversity means you can find a reach-in refrigerator that suits your needs perfectly without any unnecessary features.

1. Size

The dimensions and storage space of a unit should be your first consideration. Storage space is often less important than shelf or pan capacity since a large interior with poorly placed shelving can mean lots of wasted space and higher energy costs.

On the other hand, enough empty space must be left for air to circulate and maintain the proper temperatures, so if you are wavering on which size to purchase, estimate high because an overfilled refrigerator won’t last long. Be aware of how much physical space you have to work with in your kitchen, including the installation space and any doors or halls the refrigerator must pass through to get there. Significantly, maintain enough space for the compressor to dissipate the heat.

2. Compressor Location

All commercial refrigerator compressors are mounted on either the top or bottom. A top-mounted compressor is generally more expensive, it is less likely to get clogged with grease and need maintenance for the high location. In kitchens where there may be lots of dry ingredients, such as bakeries, a bottom-mounted compressor may become clogged when flour and other ingredients settle near the floor and are pulled in by the compressor.

But there are always disadvantages attached to advantages. Top-mounted compressors have to work harder than bottom-mounted compressors because heat rises, meaning the air a top-mounted compressor pulls in will be warmer. Besides, bottom-mounted compressors offer slightly less storage space, but because the bottom shelf is higher, the storage it offers is easier to access.

3. Doors

Commercial refrigerator come with swing doors and sliding doors. This choice is decided by the space available to you, because they typically get longer with each additional section. Full-length doors swing open. Half doors also swing open, which can enable you to open the upper and lower half separately and reduce cool-air loss when the doors are open to conserve energy.

If you are concerned about the doors swinging open to block traffic, sliding doors may work better for you. These doors are great for narrow aisles, but only one side can be open at a time. All these doors are available in solid constructions, which are easier to clean and provide better insulation, or glass, which offers visibility and can decrease the time the doors are open by enabling users to locate what they need before they open the unit.
