Commercial Refrigerator Freezer Combos

Commercial refrigerator freezer combos provide the benefits and convenience of two pieces of equipment in one unit and come in a range of sizes to meet low-, medium-, and high-volume storage needs. To maintain separate temperature zones, a commercial fridge freezer combo has two or more independent interior sections, each with its own door. This design helps conserve cold air and reduce temperature fluctuations in neighboring sections when a door is opened.

Commercial refrigerator freezer sections may be divided vertically, horizontally, or both, and the doors may be solid or glass. Solid doors are great for conserving cold air and can lead to reduced energy consumption over time; glass doors are slightly less efficient when it comes to temperature conservation but provide a clear view of everything stored in the industrial fridge freezer. A commercial side-by-side refrigerator freezer can be built low to the ground with a worktop surface where staff can prep and assemble food within arm's reach of the ingredients they need. This type of unit streamlines workflow by cutting down on the amount of time and energy staff must expend running back and forth from workstation to the walk-in.

Regardless of which commercial freezer and refrigerator you choose, it's important to select a model that can accommodate all your ingredients without being overcrowded. Packing too much product in any fridge impedes the cabinet's airflow and overworks the compressor. Pay attention to the unit's cubic-foot capacity, its number of shelves, and how those shelves can be configured to ensure the unit you choose can meet your operation's storage needs. If you're shopping to replace an existing commercial refrigerator freezer combo, make sure to choose a replacement with as much or more storage space than the unit you're replacing.
