Ice Cream Chest Freezer

An Ice Cream Chest Freezer is the most classic ice cream retail solution — a horizontal-format freezer with transparent or opaque lids provides large capacity, easy access and efficient freezing. Suitable for both small kiosks and large grocery stores. BHS offers Ice Cream Chest Freezers for retail and HoReCa businesses across Europe.

Technical parameters of Ice Cream Chest Freezers

An Ice Cream Chest Freezer provides the main functions of a horizontal freezing unit. Temperature range: -18°C and below — maintains the integrity of frozen products in accordance with HACCP cold chain requirements. Horizontal format — large internal capacity for arranging and storing ice cream packaging. Transparent or sliding lids — ensure product visibility and easy access from above. LED lighting — internal lighting improves product visibility when the lid is open. Energy saving — efficient compressor system with optimal freezing energy consumption. Stable and durable construction — designed for intensive commercial use.

Products for the ice cream chest

An Ice Cream Chest Freezer is suitable for a wide range of packaged ice cream. Ice cream bars and popsicles — the most common impulse-buy ice cream format. Waffle cones with ice cream — packaged or semi-finished for retail. Mini ice cream packs — small children's ice creams and popsicles. Frozen dessert packs — sorbet, sherbet and fruit ice cream varieties. Frozen cake slices — portion-sized frozen desserts. Premium ice cream brands — high-quality ice cream products in visually appealing packaging. Seasonal ice cream varieties — summer and holiday-themed ice cream during peak demand seasons. BHS helps calculate the ice cream chest capacity based on the specific range and daily turnover.

HACCP and maintenance

Compliance with Ice Cream Chest Freezer HACCP is critical for maintaining the cold chain. Temperature control — maintaining and documenting -18°C and below at least twice a day; an automatic logger is recommended for active retail. Cold chain maintenance — ice cream may only be placed in the chest from a freezer; thawed and refrozen ice cream must be discarded. Glass lid cleaning — regular disinfection for visual quality and hygiene. Interior cleaning — thorough cleaning and disinfection once a month or more frequently as needed. Preventive maintenance and cleaning of the compressor and condenser — once a year or according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

HoReCa usage scenarios

Grocery store or supermarket — an Ice Cream Chest Freezer as the main element of the ice cream section with large capacity and good product visibility. Fuel station — an ice cream chest as an impulse-buy element for travellers and drivers. Confectionery kiosk or outdoor stand — a compact ice cream chest with large capacity for the summer season. Café or restaurant — an ice cream chest as an additional source of dessert range for the kitchen and retail. BHS supplies Ice Cream Chest Freezers to food retail and HoReCa businesses.

Frequently asked questions

Vertical ice cream display cases with glass doors provide better product visibility. BHS helps choose the optimal format based on space and range.
