Freezer IGLOO VRM312.1000L

A remote display freezer keeps frozen goods visible while separating the refrigeration unit from the sales floor. The external compressor pumps refrigerant through coils inside the cabinet, pulling heat from the interior and expelling it outside. Ventilated cooling circulates cold air evenly across every shelf, preventing warm spots and maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the display. This method allows the freezer to hold products at deep-freeze levels without frost build-up on the glass or uneven chilling that could shorten shelf life.

The operator loads products onto the four adjustable plastic-coated mesh shelves, each of which can be tilted or repositioned to suit different pack sizes. Once the shelves are stocked, the electronic regulator is set to the desired temperature between -22 and -18 °C. The digital display shows the current reading, while the internal thermometer provides a secondary check. Automatic defrost cycles activate electric heaters at intervals, melting any ice that forms on the coils and draining the condensate through a siphoned pipe. LED lighting illuminates the cabinet in a choice of pastry white or pink, ensuring products remain visible without adding heat to the interior.

The cabinet measures 3123 mm wide, 980 mm deep and 2100 mm high, with an additional 10 mm clearance for installation. Its footprint suits supermarket aisles and self-service areas where floor space is allocated per linear metre. The 1.67 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical circuit, requiring a dedicated 230 V supply to avoid tripping other equipment. The weight of the unit, though not specified, is supported by a stainless steel base plinth with a floor seal, preventing moisture ingress and simplifying cleaning.

Construction combines coated steel and aluminium profiles, with the front panels available in various colours to match store branding. The interior is also coated steel, chosen for durability and resistance to corrosion in a high-moisture environment. Ecological polyurethane foam insulation fills the walls, reducing energy consumption and maintaining temperature stability. A mechanical expansion valve controls refrigerant flow, adapting to the selected temperature and ambient conditions.

Controls include an electronic temperature regulator with digital display, allowing precise settings and monitoring. The display room thermometer provides an immediate visual check, while the automatic defrost system removes the need for manual intervention. LED lighting is switched electronically, with options for different colour temperatures to enhance product appearance.

Cleaning involves wiping the coated steel interior and shelves with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasives that could damage the finish. The condensate drain pipe should be checked periodically to ensure it remains clear, and the floor seal around the base plinth should be inspected for wear. The remote refrigeration unit requires separate maintenance, typically handled by the store's engineering team or an external contractor.

The VARIO M-L 3123 mm is part of the IGLOO VARIO series, designed for supermarkets and large retail spaces. It is powered exclusively by an external refrigeration unit, which must be specified separately. The freezer is categorised under professional refrigeration equipment for retail display.
