Commercial Ice Cream Freezers

We carry a range of sizes and specifications, starting with compact countertop ice cream display freezers and going up to freestanding models. You can also find various sizes within both categories, with the largest freezers designed to hold anywhere from 90 to 325 litres of ice cream or gelato.

Choosing the best model for you will come down to how much stock you want to have on hand, how much space you have available in your storefront and how you want to sell your ice cream or gelato. Consider first where you want to keep your ice cream display freezer - whether that’s on the floor with a free-standing model or on the countertop to give away samples, for example. Measure the space you have and make sure to account for the room around it for staff to serve, as well as for ventilation for the fan and motor.

Some ice cream freezers have room for spare, replacement 5 litre tubs underneath, while others only have one layer - which you choose may be dictated by how quickly you turn stock over. If you’re limited in space or want to be able to keep extra stock easily to hand, we recommend looking for a dedicated chest freezer to store extra stock in.

Yes. The brands we carry build these cabinets with modern refrigerants, which use less power and hold your product at temperature. You can also find models with more efficient compressors, which brings operating costs down. The detail for each model is on its product page.

Regular display freezers are what you’d use to store frozen products, whether that’s in a supermarket or shop. They run a few degrees colder, which holds frozen stock hard and would leave ice cream too solid to serve quickly over a counter.

By contrast, dipping cabinets, another name for ice cream or gelato display freezers, are designed to keep your product at the optimal temperature for serving to customers. They have plenty of insulation, moreso than you’d find in a glass door display freezer, that helps hold the bulk of your ice cream at temperature while still preventing it from melting on the surface.

There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to scoop through a frozen, icy layer when you’re serving ice cream or gelato to customers. To prevent this from happening, at the end of each shift we recommend covering the ice cream with something like wax paper or plastic wrap. This prevents any condensation from settling onto the surface of the ice cream and turning into ice, which can impact the flavour, texture and overall quality of your ice cream.

Yes. Whether you need something narrow for a particular corner or something that sits on the countertop, it can be arranged. We’ve partnered with Skope, who can create custom freezers and refrigerators. Enquire online and we can help you get everything arranged, as well as let you know about delivery options.

Yes. Ice cream and sorbet are lighter and airier than gelato, which is denser, and the two hold best at slightly different temperatures, so temperature control matters. Most ice cream display freezers will come with a range between -16 to -22 depending on the size and specifications.

You will see industrial ice cream freezers used for the same kind of equipment. The name changes with the supplier and the region, not the job it does. Compare models on capacity, construction and the specification on each product page, and check the full commercial ice cream freezers range to see every option side by side.
