Ice Cream Display Cabinet TEFCOLD IDA500-W1+

An ice cream freezer holds product at deep-freeze temperatures by circulating cold air around fixed evaporator coils. The coils draw heat from the cabinet, lowering the air temperature until it reaches the set point. Static cooling keeps the air still, preventing dehydration and ice build-up on exposed surfaces, which preserves texture and appearance without the need for a fan or moving parts. The operator loads the included baskets with tubs or scoopable product, then slides the curved glass lids open to place the baskets inside. Once the lids are closed, the internal LED lighting remains on, illuminating the contents through the glass. The temperature controller maintains the cabinet between -23 °C and -16 °C, a range that keeps ice cream firm yet scoopable. Strong castors allow the unit to be moved across the floor for cleaning or repositioning without lifting. The cabinet is finished in white and constructed with a curved glass sneeze guard at the top. Sliding glass lids seal the display area, reducing cold-air loss when the freezer is opened. Storage space beneath the baskets provides additional room for stock or accessories. The R290 refrigerant circulates silently through the sealed coils, keeping every scoop of ice cream at the exact creamy texture without frost build-up on the sliding glass lids. Controls consist of a thermostat that sets the target temperature within the stated range. The LED lighting is always on when the unit is powered, requiring no separate switch. A power rating of 0.215 kW indicates the electrical load the freezer places on the circuit. The 230 V/50 Hz voltage matches standard UK single-phase supply, allowing the unit to be plugged into a dedicated socket without special wiring. The temperature range of -23 °C to -16 °C suits storage of ice cream, gelato and sorbet, but is not cold enough for long-term frozen food storage or blast freezing. The net weight of 119 kg means the freezer can be moved by two people using the castors, while the gross weight of 126 kg includes packaging for transport. The footprint of 1544 mm wide by 694 mm deep fits within a standard worktop run, leaving space for adjacent equipment. Cleaning involves wiping the glass lids and sneeze guard with a damp cloth, removing the baskets to wash them separately, and sweeping or mopping beneath the unit. The castors should be checked periodically to ensure they turn freely. The IDA500 is supplied in white with LED lighting and a full set of baskets. No other colours or configurations are listed for this model. The freezer is categorised under professional ice cream equipment in the TEFCOLD range.
