Chest freezer showcase TEFCOLD NIC301SC

An ice cream freezer keeps product at the deep sub-zero temperatures needed to preserve texture and prevent melting between service. A refrigeration circuit circulates a low-boiling-point refrigerant that absorbs heat from the cabinet and expels it outside. The refrigerant used here is R290, which condenses and evaporates at the pressures the system maintains, cycling continuously to remove heat faster than room air can replace it. The result is a stable, uniform cold zone that holds ice cream at the firmness required for scooping and serving.

The operator loads tubs or bulk containers onto the powder-coated white liner, then closes the flat sliding lids to seal the cabinet. A digital thermometer displays the current temperature, allowing the operator to confirm the freezer is within the -24 to -14 °C range before stocking. The included basket provides additional organisation for smaller items or toppings. When the freezer is in position, the castors with brakes lock to prevent movement during use.

The cabinet is constructed with a powder-coated white inner liner that resists moisture and staining. The flat sliding lids run smoothly and can be locked to secure contents. A digital thermometer is fitted to monitor the internal temperature without opening the lid. The freezer stands on four castors, two of which have brakes to stabilise the unit once positioned.

The controls consist of a digital thermometer that shows the current temperature, allowing the operator to verify the freezer is maintaining the required range. The sliding lids can be locked to prevent unauthorised access.

A 218 litre volume provides space for bulk storage of ice cream tubs or multiple smaller containers. The temperature range of -24 to -14 °C is suited to long-term storage of ice cream, maintaining the correct consistency for serving. The 0.119 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical supply, requiring a standard 220-240 V, 50 Hz circuit. The 62 kg weight allows the unit to be moved on its castors but requires two people to lift if needed. The 1030 x 650 x 885 mm footprint determines the floor space the freezer occupies in the kitchen.

Cleaning involves wiping the powder-coated inner liner with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove spills or residue. The sliding lids should be cleaned regularly to ensure smooth operation. The castors require occasional checking to confirm the brakes engage properly and the wheels turn freely.

The NIC301SC is a single model with no variants listed.
