What Exactly Are Freezing Displays, Counters, and Islands?

Freezing Displays are refrigerated merchandising units designed to display frozen goods while maintaining the essential freezing temperatures (typically -18°C / 0°F or colder). They enable customers to easily browse frozen products while preserving quality, texture, and food safety.

• Freezing Counters: Compact, waist-high units suitable for small spaces like cafés, convenience stores, and bakeries — combining frozen storage with counter workspace.

• Freezing Islands: Larger, walk-around freezer units commonly seen in supermarket aisles or large retail spaces, allowing 360° product access and maximum visibility.
