Open cooler

Even in this era of the Internet and quick, overnight deliveries, it is still very hard to sell items to people without them being able to see and feel the goods first. Physical presentation is especially important for fresh goods like vegetables and frozen foodstuffs such as meat. Because of this consumer behavior, some end-clients may benefit by purchasing open-air cooler displays, also known as open coolers, open-display coolers, and open-air merchandiser coolers.

What is an open cooler?

An open cooler or open-air cooler is a kind of refrigerator used for the purpose of preserving food through cold temperatures while at the same time allowing customers to see and access the goods that are being stored inside them. Another secondary function and advantage of open-display refrigerators are that they make it easy for store personnel to access store stock to be rotated, moved, and replenished as needed. While it is understandable to suspect that open-face coolers consume more electricity than usual, it is actually not the case. This is because coolers such as the air curtain merchandiser utilize cleverly directed air to make sure that cold air is not wasted disproportionately. Physics is also on the side of these coolers. As most of them take the form of a horizontal open-air cooler, almost all the cooling air stays on top of the goods, and very little is spilled, keeping the items chilled efficiently.

Some types and examples of open coolers

Clients, usually the ones who own convenience stores, supermarket chains, and dessert retailers, have a wide variety of open coolers to choose from. For straightforward refrigeration needs, clients may choose commercial display refrigerators. Meanwhile, convenience store operators may benefit from open coolers for convenience stores. These are smaller than ordinary, to account for the fact that convenience stores usually have limited floor space. Finally, really small shops such as gelato stands, specialty dessert shops, salad bars, and boutique meat shops may find one-door coolers advantageous as these give them the capability to display chilled products in front of a very small storefront.
