Various bars, restaurants and grocery stores have refrigeration requirements; this is where a Deli case comes into play. These versatile display and storage cases offer great benefits to the users; various eatables can be easily stored by setting different temperature (depending on the type of product). As a businessperson, there are certain things that should be known before buying these cases

These cases are built with two well-known materials, which are glass and stainless steel. If one is using glass case then there is a need to keep a close check on the stock levels and the preservation conditions of the eatables. On the other hand, the cases made up of stainless steel do not take much time to clean and they are germ-free as well. They also have the advantage of going well with the other machines.

It is very important to know the size of the Deli Case and this can only be determined by the owner. It has to be seen that a commercial case is bought which can easily be accommodated as per the space. The best way is to measure the area where the case has to be placed. There has to be some space in front of the case so that it does not cause any hindrance while walking, even with the door wide open.

It is very important that the reputation of the company have been thoroughly checked before making a final decision. A good and well- known company will offer the finest customer support service. Be a smart buyer and purchase a case from a certified shop or dealer. One can also consult their friends and family members if they know any store or supplier, who can provide top-notch after sale services.

If the supplier is genuine, he will be more than happy to provide assistance by offering comprehensive warranty on the case’s parts, discounts and even free installation. Make sure that one is not buying used cases, even if one is planning to buy a second hand case. The equipments or the spare parts of the used cases are costly.

Choose a case, which is attractive and incorporates all the expected requirements. Most online websites dealing in glass cases have display picture for the buyer that helps to narrow down the search. Care should be taken not to invest in an overtly attractive glass case that may steal the attention from the contents on display. Proper lighting is also necessary in order to make the contents of the display case visible.
  2. Measurements – While buying a display glass case consider the measurements such as the length and width of the glass case depending on the contents to be displayed. If the contents are of bigger quantities and need to be displayed then it may require bigger cases. On the other hand, collections that are of medium sizes may require medium sized cases. The buyer should also bear in mind any future expansions that may require more display space.

At that time, stopping oneself from not entering in the store is something next to impossible. Unbeknownst to many of us, these specially engineered bakery refrigerators have various uses.

In this article, we will be learning about the advantages and qualities of these cases.

Advantages of having these cases:
  • Protection: from the hazardous elements: these refrigeration systems not only assure correct temperature which is required by the baked items, but also provide them protection from various elements like fungi and will also protect from being decayed or poisonous, due to improper product cooling. Along with item’s protection, these cases do provide protection to the work of baker as well. A beautifully marveled cake, if not handled properly, will be of no use.
  • Easy access and an open invitation: the cases, if facing towards the road the pathway, will serve as customer enticer. Bakers, who spend their hours on baking wonderful and tempting cakes or mouthwatering pies, have to be shown and sold. A baker cannot invite everyone, but these road facing cases can, in short, they are customer enticers.

  • Before buying a case, do check the specification of that with EISA standards for those as they must meet with them. Sometimes the manufacturer sells these cases only with top lights and are devoid of shelf lights, therefore do check it properly as lighting is an essential factor considered in Energy Independence and Security Act, 2007) EISA standard.
  • The whole cooling system depends on thermostats, condenser, extra defrost cycle and Styrofoam insulation and turning a blind towards them before buying these cases simply means mistake of the millennium.

What you must check before buying Reach in Coolers



Every one of us visits departmental stores, wine and liquor stores and grocery stores for buying our day to day edible necessities. You must have noticed that most of the edibles like milk, chocolates, frozen fruits, juices, sparkling drinks, butter, ice creams and beers, that are supposed to be stored under constant temperatures, are kept behind the chilling doors. These chilling doors are actually ‘reach in coolers’, especially designed for protecting these products from getting decayed. In this article, I would like to mention some very informative points about these coolers that I extracted from an interview.

Unlike refrigerators, that work with the freezer generated cold air; these reach in coolers work in completely different formula. These coolers work on the cold temperature produced by the blowing of number of fans and condensers. In reach in coolers, these fans are programmed automatically to turn on and off, and this is what keeps the temperature constant.

What you should check before buying a reach in cooler?


  • Do check the quality of thermostats and condenser: The second important element of these coolers is thermostats which assures that temperature level of a cooler and never let temperature crash. In case the temperature exceeds the value fixed by thermostats, the condenser brings it down and assures the consistency of temperature. That is why, before buying reach in coolers one must check the basis of thermostats and condenser.
  • Do not forget to check the cooler for extra defrost cycle: Before buying a reach in cooler, do check that whether that cooler is equipped with an extra defrost cycle or not? This extra defrost cycle never lets condenser to hit the bottom line of lowest temperature under any circumstance and assures the optimal temperature. This extra defrost cycle is an integral, ingenious and useful part of the cooler.
  • Inspect the Styrofoam insulation: you are not supposed to turn a blind eye toward the most important thing, the Styrofoam insulation that keeps the outer temperature to disrupt the inner temperature. This is the thin layer that protects food and keeps it healthy and safe.
  • Do check EISA standards before buying reach in coolers: before buying a cooler, keep a close eye on EISA (Energy Independence and Security Act, 2007) standards that were introduced on January 1st 2009. Some standards about doors, lighting, insulation, motors and glass were brought in by federal government.

Buying reach in coolers is a wise decision to take, but buyers must keep the above mentioned points in mind before making a dea.
