Ice cream chest freezer TEFCOLD IC202SC

An ice cream freezer maintains a deep, steady cold to preserve texture and flavour in frozen desserts. A compressor circulates refrigerant through coils, pulling heat from the cabinet and expelling it outside. The process keeps the interior at sub-zero temperatures, preventing ice crystals from forming and ensuring smooth, creamy consistency. Because the unit must work harder in warm kitchens, it is built to handle higher ambient temperatures without losing performance.

The operator loads tubs or scoopable containers onto the two wire baskets, then closes the lockable glass lid. A digital thermometer displays the current temperature, allowing precise monitoring without opening the cabinet. LED lighting illuminates the contents, making it easy to locate items during service. Once set, the freezer runs continuously, cycling the compressor to hold the chosen temperature between -24 °C and -14 °C. The lock secures stock overnight or during breaks, while the brake-equipped castors allow the unit to be moved for cleaning or repositioning.

The cabinet is constructed from insulated panels, with a white exterior and a glass lid that slides open. Inside, two wire baskets organise stock, and the refrigerant R600a is used for cooling. The digital thermometer is mounted on the front panel, and the LED lighting runs along the interior sides. Four castors with brakes support the unit, two of which lock to prevent rolling.

Controls consist of a digital thermostat that sets the target temperature within the -24 °C to -14 °C range. The display shows the current temperature, and the lockable lid prevents unauthorised access.

A 0.2 kW power rating indicates a modest electrical load, suitable for standard kitchen circuits. The 220-240 V, 50 Hz voltage matches UK mains supply, requiring no special wiring. The 165 litre net capacity holds multiple tubs or bulk containers, while the 46 kg weight allows two people to move the unit when empty. The 720 x 630 x 892 mm footprint fits through standard doorways and under most worktops, and the climate class 5 rating ensures reliable operation in warm kitchen environments.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior and baskets with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then drying thoroughly. The glass lid slides off for deeper cleaning, and the castors should be checked periodically to ensure they roll freely and lock securely. The refrigerant charge is sealed and requires no maintenance.

The IC202SC is a single model with no variants. It is designed for professional catering use and is not a spare part for other equipment.

This freezer is listed in the refrigeration section of the professional catering equipment catalogue.
