A refrigerated display case is a commercial refrigeration unit that combines product cooling at the correct temperature with attractive visual presentation for the customer. BHS offers a wide range of refrigerated display cases – vertical, wall-mounted and corner versions – for shops, self-service zones, fuel stations and HoReCa catering establishments across Europe.
BHS refrigerated display case range includes energy-efficiency class versions with glass doors, LED lighting and an adjustable temperature of +2–+8°C. Single-door, double-door and multi-door configurations are available for large-volume self-service zones.
A refrigerated display case is one of the most common refrigeration units in food retail and catering – it serves customers in a self-service format, ensuring beverages, dairy products, juices and prepared foods are available at the correct temperature around the clock. BHS offers refrigerated display cases for all shop and HoReCa applications – from small corner shops to large food retail centres.
Types and configurations of refrigerated display cases
Vertical refrigerated display cases with glass doors – the standard for self-service zones with 1, 2 or 3-door configurations. Open refrigerated display cases without doors – a greater impulse purchase stimulus, but higher energy consumption. Wall-mounted refrigerated display cases – installed against the wall, making economical use of floor space. Corner configurations – effective use of corners in open retail zones. Mini refrigerated display cases – compact countertop versions for cafés and fuel stations. BHS offers refrigerated display cases in various sizes, configurations and energy-efficiency classes for retail and HoReCa.
Temperature and product range
The operating temperature of a refrigerated display case, typically +2–+8°C, is suitable for a wide range of products: beverages (juice, water, beer, soft drinks), dairy and fermented products, prepared cold dishes, sandwiches and dessert products. Different zones with varying temperatures – optimal for beverages at +2–+4°C, for dairy products at +4–+7°C. LED lighting enhances the visual appeal of products and reduces energy consumption. An energy-efficiency class of A+ and above ensures lower electricity consumption during prolonged operation. BHS helps select a refrigerated display case with the correct temperature range, size and energy-efficiency class.
HACCP requirements for refrigerated display cases
Products stored in a refrigerated display case must meet HACCP temperature requirements – food that requires cold storage must be kept below +4°C throughout the storage period. Regular temperature checks and documentation are mandatory. The interior of the case, shelves and rubber seals must be cleaned at least once a week with food-safe disinfectants. Damaged glass doors or leaks must be addressed immediately – a rise in temperature compromises food safety. BHS refrigerated display cases comply with European food safety standards. Temperature alarm systems alert staff to critical temperature fluctuations, preventing product spoilage.
HoReCa application scenarios
In a small food shop – two or three-door refrigerated display cases for the beverages and dairy products section. At a fuel station – single or double-door refrigerated display cases for beverages and sandwiches. In a café – a refrigerated display case for cold beverages and desserts with display on the customer side. In a hotel corridor or foyer – a compact refrigerated display case for guest self-service beverages. BHS helps select the most suitable refrigerated display case model for each HoReCa and retail format, product range and space.
Frequently asked questions
Which energy-efficiency class is recommended for a refrigerated display case? A+ and higher-class refrigerated display cases are significantly more economical – energy savings can reach 30–50% compared to a standard model. In the long term, an A++ investment pays off in electricity bills.
Are open refrigerated display cases without doors effective? Open display cases increase sales by 15–25% compared to versions with doors, but consume 30–40% more electricity. The balance between energy costs and increased sales must be assessed for each specific retail location and product range.
