The MINI Freezer Display Case is a compact deep-freezing unit for displaying and selling frozen ice cream, frozen desserts or portioned frozen products in limited space — suitable for small shops, café counter areas, cash desks, event kiosks and HoReCa businesses across Europe, where a full-size chest showcase does not fit or is not justified. The mini format with a glass cover and LED lighting ensures a visually appealing product presentation in a small area. BHS offers this equipment as part of the Freezers range.
The MINI Freezer Display Case typically occupies only 0.5–1.0 m² of floor space but provides efficient storage and display of frozen products at 18°C and below. BHS helps select a model based on capacity, design and installation location requirements. Also see the Freezer Chest Showcase for the full commercial equipment range.
The MINI Freezer Display Case is the ideal solution for businesses where the sale of frozen products is a secondary function rather than the main business — for example, a café with an ice cream corner, a mini shop by the cash desk or an event kiosk with frozen products. The mini format optimises space without compromising visual presentation and product storage capacity.
MINI Freezer Display Case construction
The MINI Freezer Display Case is typically a small horizontal or slightly sloped unit with a sliding glass or transparent cover. The interior is equipped with LED lighting to ensure visual product presentation. The compressor is located at the bottom or side of the unit, maintaining a temperature of −18°C or lower. The internal capacity is 50–150 L, sufficient for 30–80 portions of ice cream or several packs of frozen products. The unit is equipped with a digital temperature display and automatic defrosting. Most models have wheels for easy movement. The exterior design is available in various colours to match the brand or shop style.
When and where a MINI display case is needed
In a café where ice cream is an additional product, a small MINI display case by the cash desk or counter ensures impulse ice cream sales to customers who choose a dessert while waiting. In a mini shop or convenience store at a fuel station, a MINI display case by the cash desk allows the sale of frozen snacks, ice cream or semi-finished products. At an event kiosk or festival, a compact unit ensures the sale of frozen products with minimal space. In a hotel foyer or lobby bar, a MINI display case with frozen desserts complements the coffee and snack range. BHS advises on model and capacity selection based on the business specifics.
Energy and HACCP
MINI Freezer Display Cases are equipped with energy-efficient compressors and insulation systems that ensure low energy consumption for small capacities. LED lighting minimally increases the heat inside the unit. HACCP requirements dictate product storage at −18°C and below, regular temperature checks and documentation. The glass cover and interior surfaces must be cleaned regularly with a disinfectant, especially after spills. During defrosting, the unit temporarily raises the temperature — it is not recommended to load new products at this time. BHS advises on maintenance requirements.
HoReCa usage scenarios
In a café with a tea and coffee menu, a small MINI Freezer Display Case by the cash desk sells frozen cake slices, ice cream and frozen fruit desserts to customers in a self-service format. In a mini shop, a 60 L MINI display case is sufficient for offering ice cream, ice cream bars and frozen semi-finished products by the cash desk. At an event kiosk, the unit is the main solution for selling frozen products outdoors or in a small space. Also see Ice Cream Equipment for ice cream preparation and Freezer Chest Showcase.
Frequently asked questions
What is the capacity of the MINI display case for ice cream? Depending on the capacity and portion size — a 60–100 L unit holds approximately 40–80 portions of ice cream or 20–30 packs. BHS can provide a precise capacity calculation based on the specific product size.
Does the MINI display case operate from a standard socket? Most MINI Freezer Display Cases operate from a standard 230V/50Hz electrical socket — no additional electrical installation is required. Energy consumption is low — typically 100–250 W, which is significantly less than larger freezers. This makes the MINI display case cost-effective even for small businesses.
