Commercial Walk-in Coolers: What You Need to Know

Commercial walk-in coolers give you the space needed to accommodate high volumes of food coming in and out of your foodservice establishment. Walk-in coolers and freezers can greatly extend the life of your perishable foods, cutting down on wasted food and money. These refrigerators and freezers safely hold food at FDA-required temperatures – below 40 degrees or 0 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively.

Walk-in coolers and freezers are available with compressors mounted on the unit's top, side, or in a remote location. Indoor walk-in coolers and outdoor units are available, with each style offering its own pros and cons. Outdoor walk-in coolers are ideal for operations with limited indoor space but require special considerations that vary depending on climate. These coolers include condensers specifically designed for either refrigeration or freezing. Operators can purchase additional walk-in cooler equipment, such as shelving, separately.

Common Questions About Walk-in Coolers

Does a walk-in cooler need a floor?

Floors aren't always necessary for restaurant walk-in coolers, but it's best to include them. If your refrigerator only needs to handle light foot traffic and is installed above concrete or other materials that aren't damaged by condensation, a specially installed floor may not be necessary. If you choose not to install a floor, the cooler must be sealed to the existing floor. A floor is required for all freezers and any refrigerators that require hand trucks, carts, and pallet jacks.

Can I use my walk-in freezer to refrigerate food?

The refrigeration systems in walk-in freezers are only designed for use at freezing temperatures. You generally won't be able to set your freezer to higher temperatures for refrigeration, so you would need a separate piece of storage equipment for refrigerated foods.

How cold can a walk-in freezer get?

The FDA mandates a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or less for holding frozen food. Most restaurant walk-in coolers are made to hold frozen food at -10 degrees Fahrenheit.

How do I keep warm air from entering my commercial walk-in cooler?

There are a couple options for keeping cool air from escaping from your walk-in coolers when employees walk in and out. Plastic strips are the more affordable option upfront, but investing in an air door that creates a curtain of air to separate environments can lead to long-term energy savings and decreased stress on your compressor's motor. Keeping warm air out of your cooler also prevents food from spoiling while reducing condensation and pooling water. Both air doors and plastic strips can help keep contaminants and pests out of your walk-in cooler, as well.
