What to look for in commercial freezers
Bagged ice sales can be a fantastic revenue driver in the warmer months, so how do you make sure you are maximising your opportunities? Premium freezers will retain the integrity of the ice for longer and maximise visibility from more angles, driving sales and repeat customers.
But how do you know what to look out for when looking for the best freezer possible? There's a couple of key things to look for that are consistent qualities of a premium freezer.
Maximised capacity
Space in a store is at a premium, so you need to ensure you are getting a well engineered product that has been built to maximise internal space, allowing you to stock more product at a time and therefore sell more.
Exceptional temperature performance
Sales of ice come when the product has stayed perfectly chilled. Any inconsistencies in temperature can cause the ice to melt and refreeze repeatedly, losing the integrity of the ice. Ensure your ice stays consistent by selecting a freezer with a track record of reliability.
Sustainable storage
It's more important than ever to ensure the equipment your business purchases is kind to the environment and low on energy-consumption. Freezers have traditionally been seen as some of the worst appliance polluters. But that doesn't need to be the case. Look for freezers employing natural refrigerants and those that have been engineered to run efficiently, drawing less energy and saving you money as well.
