Beverage-Air SM49HC-W Description
The Beverage-Air SM49HC-W school milk cooler has a single section to store flat-top cases of milk cartons. Cases sit on a floor rack made of wire to promote airflow throughout the cracks. Its lids self-latch and seal shut with gaskets to retain cold air, and they can be locked to secure product. Equipped with 4-inch plate casters, this unit can be conveniently moved and secured in place with two locking casters. During transport, safety bumpers around the lids help prevent damage to the cabinet if it's bumped into anything.
Temperatures in the Beverage-Air SM49HC-W milk cooler are kept between 36 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit, and they can be adjusted with the electronic controls. To ensure milk doesn't spoil, users can monitor these levels with the external thermometer. This unit is environmentally friendly—it cools with R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant. For efficiency, it defrosts automatically to eliminate ice buildup, and a drain in the center removes water when the ice melts.
