At Gelato World, we prioritize the perfect presentation and quality of artisanal products in high-end ice display cases, where the forced air ice display case plays a crucial role. But what exactly is a forced air ice display case? Read on to understand why these cases are the best choice and explore the various advantages of this cooling technology.
What is a Forced Air Ice Display Case?
First, it’s helpful to understand what a forced air ice display case actually is. A forced air ice display case uses forced air cooling (also known as ventilated cooling). This means that a fan is used to evenly circulate cool air throughout the display case. The system works by drawing in air, cooling it in an evaporator containing a refrigerant or coolant, and then pushing the cooled air back into the display space. Learn more about this in our article on different cooling techniques for ice display cases.
The Benefits of a Forced Air Ice Display Case
At Gelato World, we are the exclusive supplier of the premium brand Orion, which offers only forced air ice display cases. Discover why choosing forced air display cases is the best option compared to double airflow ice display cases.
Reason 1:
Most ice display cases have airflow at the back and in the middle of the case, which is very impractical. Once ice enters the display case, cleaning becomes nearly impossible. This not only leads to hygiene issues but can also negatively impact the efficiency and performance of the display case. It is essential to choose a design that allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, like the forced air ice display cases from Orion.
Reason 2:
In a double airflow ice display case, ice trays cannot be stacked high due to inefficient airflow. This results in uneven cooling, which can negatively affect the quality and presentation of the ice. These inconsistencies may cause the ice to become too soft on one side and too hard on the other. Additionally, the fluctuating temperature can cause the ice to melt faster or crystallize, impacting its texture and flavor. This makes it difficult to present your products attractively and deliciously. With even airflow, as in Orion display cases, these problems are avoided, ensuring consistent, high-quality products in the ice display case.
Reason 3:
In double airflow ice display cases, a temperature difference often occurs between the ice at the front and back, which can affect the quality of the ice. In contrast, Orion’s high airflow ensures a uniform cold blanket over the ice, maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the entire display case. This keeps your ice at the perfect temperature, regardless of its position in the case. The continuous cold airflow over the scooped ice makes this cooling technique ideal for cases that are frequently opened and closed in environments with fluctuating temperatures. Additionally, its cost-effectiveness can help lower energy bills. With easy installation and minimal maintenance, this type of cooling system is an excellent option for keeping any display case cool.
Everything You Need to Know About Using a Forced Air Ice Display Case
Orion stands out for its unique use of fans that ensure forced airflow. This technology is so refined that the fan blades are specifically designed for each individual ice display case. Each fan blade is fully tailored to the specific needs of the ice display case, ensuring optimal air circulation and cooling. This customized approach not only guarantees consistent temperature and perfect ice structure but also enhances the energy efficiency of the display cases, making them both powerful and durable.
