Features and Price Factors of Countertop Gelato Showcase

The Countertop Gelato Showcase, also known as the tabletop ice cream display cabinet, is a miniaturized commercial refrigeration device mainly used for displaying and preserving ice cream (especially Gelato).

What are the characteristics of the tabletop ice cream display cabinet?

It is suitable for being placed in areas with limited space such as bars and counters, and is commonly seen in coffee shops, dessert shops, or small catering establishments.

The display function usually adopts a transparent glass door or an open design, which can directly display the flavors and colors of ice cream and attract customers.

The temperature control performance maintains a low - temperature environment inside (generally around - 10°C to - 15°C), slowing down the melting of ice cream and maintaining its texture and taste.

The structural layout often has partitioned grids or containers inside, which is convenient for classifying and placing different flavors of ice cream, facilitating access and management.

Compared with large vertical display cabinets, it pays more attention to space - saving and flexible placement, and is suitable for the display and sale of small - batch ice cream.

What are the factors contributing to the price increase of the tabletop ice cream display cabinet?

A variety of factors work together to cause the price increase, and it can be mainly analyzed from the following aspects:

An increase in the prices of production factors such as raw materials, labor, and energy for manufacturing freezers will directly increase the production costs of enterprises. To maintain profits, enterprises often raise product prices, thus triggering a price increase.

When the global market demand for refrigeration equipment or services exceeds the supply capacity, the situation of Demand exceeds supply will drive up prices. For example, during holidays, the demand for accommodation and catering at tourist attractions surges, and prices usually increase significantly.

If the money supply is excessive and exceeds the actual needs of the economy, it may lead to currency depreciation. The amount of freezers or services that a unit of currency can purchase decreases, manifested as an overall increase in the price level, that is, inflation.

In addition, the expectations of consumers or enterprises regarding the future price trend of ice cream cabinets will also affect the current price. If it is generally expected that the price will increase in the future, consumers may rush to buy in advance, and enterprises may hoard goods or raise prices in advance, thus exacerbating the upward trend of prices.

Of course, external factors such as international market price fluctuations, exchange rate changes, and trade policy adjustments may also be transmitted to the domestic market, leading to an increase in the price of ice cream cabinets.

How to choose and maintain an ice cream cabinet?

The selection and maintenance of an ice cream cabinet can start from the following key points:

I. Key points for choosing an ice cream cabinet

Refrigeration performance

Give priority to models with a stable temperature below - 18°C to avoid the melting or crystallization of ice cream, which may affect the taste.

Pay attention to the refrigeration speed and uniformity. Designs with multiple evaporators are usually better.

Capacity and style

For commercial use, choose large - capacity vertical or island - style ones, which are convenient for display and access; for home use, small tabletop ones can be selected to save space.

The transparent glass door needs to be anti - fog to ensure clear display.

Energy consumption and materials

Give priority to models with energy - saving certifications, which are more economical in the long - term.

Choose stainless - steel materials for the inner liner, which are corrosion - resistant and easy to clean; the thickness of the insulation layer of the cabinet affects energy consumption, and the thicker it is, the better the insulation.

II. Key points for daily maintenance

Regular cleaning

Wipe the inner liner and glass door with a neutral detergent every week to prevent the growth of bacteria due to residual sugar.

Clean the condenser (radiator) every month to prevent dust accumulation from affecting the refrigeration efficiency.

Temperature management

Avoid frequent opening and closing of the door to reduce temperature fluctuations; when storing, do not overfill, and reserve space for cold air circulation.

When not in use for a long time, turn off the power, dry the inside, and keep the door half - open to prevent odors.

Component maintenance

Check whether the sealing strip is in good condition. Replace it in time if it is damaged to prevent cold air leakage.

Avoid frequent starting and stopping of the compressor, and place it away from heat sources (such as stoves and direct sunlight).

Following the above points can not only ensure the taste of ice cream but also extend the service life of the equipment.
