Polar

Polar fridges and freezers are all-around high-quality, with a mid-range price point, making them a reliable and accessible option for commercial settings. Whether you’re looking for refrigerators, freezers, display units, ice makers or even a slushie maker or ice maker, Polar has a model that’ll match the specifications you want.

After 15 years of making chilled storage, they’ve always had a strong focus on energy efficiency, making for a more sustainable option that also saves you money on power bills in the long term. 

Reliable, versatile refrigeration and freezing are essential in any retail or commercial environment, and Polar delivers on all fronts. Their diverse range is one of their strongest assets, with models for all manner of establishments. Polar has three ranges, each with their own unique specifications that make them suitable for various external temperatures, perfect for the Australian climate.

When it comes to freezers, you have plenty of choice in terms of design. Chest freezers and upright freezers offer variable capacities and footprints, suitable for the size and storage needs you have. They’re ideal for bulk storage in the kitchen to keep everything fresh before cooking.

Similarly, Polar fridges come in a broad range of specifications, from chilled storage solutions like sliding or hinged-door models, along with plenty of options for front of house to display stock or serve customers. If you need salad bar fridges, drinks fridges including options for wine, or merchandise displays, you’ll find the perfect choice here.

They’re reliable, versatile and ensure the freshness and quality of your stock. Not only do they help to display your stock attractively for prospective customers, but they also ensure good hygiene and reduce the chances of food spoilage, saving you money in the long run. 

Regardless of whether you opt for their C-Series, G-Series, or U-Series, Polar fridges and freezers all come with functional, useful features that ensure reliable performance, ease of use and simple maintenance.

Whether you’re looking at something for kitchen storage or for your store front, you can expect a few features across the Polar range. You’ll typically get adjustable shelving for upright models and easy-to-move baskets in their chest freezers. To ensure the optimal temperature is maintained, digital thermostats make it easy to adjust and control your stock.

Modern refrigerants are also common features in Polar equipment, keeping running costs down while also being less impactful on the environment. To add to the energy efficiency, you’ll also find LED lighting in Polar equipment, serving to illuminate everything while using less power - whether that’s for staff preparing food in the kitchen or customers browsing the stock you have on offer.

Another key feature that makes Polar a standout option is the fact that you can set up many of their appliances on your own, saving the need to hire a technician to help with installation. 

As with any appliance, the more power it uses, the more it’ll cost to run it. When it comes to fridges and freezers, which need to be operational all the time as opposed to something like an oven range, which is used less consistently, energy-saving features become more important. By using modern, efficient refrigerants, and features like LED lighting, Polar fridges and freezers keep running costs down. Equally, they have different ranges that can cater to different external ambient temperatures, ensuring you have something reliable but low-cost to run for your establishment. 

Maintaining your Polar fridge or freezer is simple, and each model will come with instructions from the manufacturer to give you specific guidance. Generally, you’ll want to periodically clear your fridge or freezer out fully so you can wipe the inside down.

If you notice ice buildup, many of Polar’s models come with drains, making it easier to de-ice them. Proper care will ensure you not only get the best performance from your Polar fridge but will also extend its lifespan so you get the best return on your investment. 

Polar’s range of commercial fridges and freezers come in a range of series, making it easy to find the one that works for you and your kitchen’s needs. They have three ranges: C-Series, G-Series, and U-Series.

The C-Series is the perfect entry-level, everyday commercial fridge and freezer range. They’re designed for general storage, as opposed to something in a retail setting that’s being opened on a very regular basis. They’re built to work optimally in ambient temperatures up to 32℃.

The next step up is the G-Series, which is built for more heavy-handed and frequent use, either in a commercial kitchen or in a store front. These are built to be tough, including the temperatures they can operate in, with the G-Series capable of delivering reliable chilling and freezing temperatures up to 32℃.

Finally, their top range is the U-Series. It features fridges and freezers with the most resilience and best-in-class specifications. They have forced air cooling for the most consistent and reliable temperatures, ideal for more sensitive food storage like fresh produce or meat products. Along with the greatest reliability, they’re also capable of running with temperatures of up to 43℃, making them ideal for hot kitchens and the intense Australian climate. 

When it comes to selling your menu items or stock, it isn’t just about keeping them fresh - presentation truly matters. Polar fridges, from their display fridges to chilled salad bars, all keep everything fresh while presenting them for customers. Equally, there are plenty of freezers and fridges with glass doors, making it easy for customers to choose what they want to get, backlit by LED lighting for visibility in all areas of the store.

If you regularly change the kind of stock you have in the fridge, Polar fridges also make it easy to fit things the way you want, thanks to their easily adjusted shelves.
