Chest freezer showcase TEFCOLD IC401SCEB

An ice cream freezer maintains a deep, steady chill to keep frozen desserts at the exact texture and temperature required. It circulates cold air around the interior, drawing heat away from the product and expelling it outside the cabinet. The refrigerant absorbs warmth as it evaporates inside the coils, then releases it when compressed and condensed, creating a continuous cycle that sustains sub-zero conditions without freezing the air itself solid. This method ensures even cooling throughout the storage space, preventing ice crystals from forming on the surface of the ice cream and preserving its smooth consistency over long periods.

To use the freezer, slide the curved lids open and load the baskets with tubs or trays of ice cream. Close the lids and secure them with the lock to maintain the internal temperature. Set the desired level on the thermostat, which is displayed on the built-in thermometer. The unit will automatically regulate the cooling cycle to hold the chosen temperature between -24 °C and -14 °C. Castors allow the freezer to be moved into position, and the brake keeps it stable during service. When stock needs replenishing, the sliding lids open smoothly without disturbing the cold air inside.

The cabinet is constructed with a powder-coated white inner liner that resists stains and simplifies cleaning. The exterior is finished in white to match standard kitchen equipment. Four castors, two with brakes, support the unit and enable repositioning without lifting. The refrigerant used is R290, charged at 105 grams, chosen for its efficiency in low-temperature applications.

The controls consist of a thermostat that adjusts the temperature within the specified range. The thermometer provides a clear reading of the current internal temperature, allowing staff to monitor conditions at a glance.

A 325 litre volume provides ample space for bulk storage of ice cream tubs, while the 1300 mm width fits through standard doorways and aligns with typical worktop depths. The 66 kg weight ensures stability without requiring permanent fixing, yet remains manageable for two people to move when necessary. The 220-240 V, 50 Hz supply matches the standard single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens, and the 0.141 kW power rating keeps energy consumption low during continuous operation.

Cleaning involves wiping down the powder-coated liner with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The baskets lift out for separate washing. Castors should be checked periodically to ensure they roll freely and the brakes engage securely. The sliding lids require occasional lubrication of the tracks to maintain smooth operation.

The IC401SCEB is a single model with no variants. It is categorised under professional refrigeration for frozen desserts and bulk storage.
