Deli Display Fridges

The name \'deli\' comes from the word delicatessen. Delicatessens are shops that sell meat, cheese, and other food items that are considered to be of high quality. Deli fridges can be found in many places such as cheese shops and supermarkets and other foodservice operations, and are known for their attractive presentation and reliable temperature control.

The lifespan of a Deli Display Fridge depends on the quality of the equipment and how well it is maintained. On average, a good quality Deli Display Fridge can last for 5 to 10 years.

The energy requirements for a Deli Display Fridge depend on the size and type of unit. It is recommended to choose a fridge with a higher energy rating to save on electricity costs in the long run.

The recommended temperature range for a Deli Display Fridge is between 2°C to 5°C, which is ideal for storing perishable food items.

The type of door you choose for your deli case will depend on your specific needs and preferences.

• Front glass: A front glass door allows customers to see the food items inside the deli case, making it easy for them to make a selection.
• Curved or square: The shape of the front glass can affect the overall aesthetic of the deli case. A curved glass door may give the deli case a more modern, sleek look, while a square glass door may give it a more traditional look.
• Hinged or fixed: Hinged doors lift up for easy access for cleaning and maintenance. Some deli cases may also have non-opening front glass doors that are used for display only and the food items are accessed from the back.

When choosing a hinged door, it is important to consider the ease of cleaning. A door that can lift up for easy cleaning will make maintenance much more efficient, especially if you have seafood displays or other types which require daily scrubbing.

Here are some things you may want to consider when shopping for a deli fridge:

• Cooling options: There are usually two cooling options: remote and self-contained.
  Remote cooling systems have their cooling systems separated from the refrigerated cabinets, usually on the property’s roof or in the car park. The refrigerant gas is then piped to the fridge by pipe. The advantages of remote setups are that the noisy compressors, fans and other cooling components are not in the same room as customers and the entire cooling requirement for your shop can be set up more efficiently, from a single large, centralized cooling system.
  Self-contained cooling systems means the compressor and other other cooling system components are located within the fridge itself, usually in the base of the fridge. These fridges and are typically less expensive and require less installation space. The downside is that your customers will hear the droning hums of the fridge compressor and other components.

• Capacity: Deli fridges come in a range of capacities to suit different businesses. If you have a small deli or convenience store, a smaller fridge like this Thermaster Compact Deli Display fridge may be more suitable. Available capacities range from 200 liters to up to 2000 liters and more. The smallest length of deli fridge typically available will be around 1.5m. The largest single cabinet will be around 2.2-2.4m, depending on the brand.
  A good rule of thumb is to choose a fridge that is slightly larger than what you think you will need, to allow for future growth and expansion of your business.

• Supermarkets: Deli cabinets are a type of fridge that can be supplied as a single, stand-alone fridge or one of many modular sections. This means you can have a ‘continuous’ deli fridge line for 8m, 12m, 20m or more, any length that you need for your supermarket. For these types of installations, remote cooling is used 99% of the time and we strongly recommend to get in touch with the team for a bespoke quote for your supermarket setup.

• Temperature: Deli fridges are designed to maintain a temperature between 0-4°C to keep perishable products fresh. Some deli fridges also have adjustable temperature controls, allowing you to tailor the temperature to your specific products. Seafood display fridges are a type of more specialized deli fridge, specifically for fresh seafood which sit on a bed of ice. These will chill cooler than regular deli fridges to maintain the fresh ice.

  - adjustable shelves
  - castor wheels for easy movement and cleaning under cabinets
  - clear glass cabinet for easy product visibility

• Budget: When it comes to budget, deli fridges can range from around $4500 AUD to $15,000 AUD or more per modular piece. For an entire new supermarket installation with 20m+ of deli space, it is not unreasonable to pay well over $500,000!
  The price can vary greatly depending on the size, features, and brand of the fridges. 
• Warranty: It's important to consider the warranty when purchasing a deli fridge. A warranty can provide peace of mind and protection against any potential defects or issues that may arise with the fridge.
