IGLOO Showcase VARIO 1.88 80 L Remote Cold Display Case

A remote-driven cold showcase keeps chilled products visible and accessible while maintaining precise temperatures. The external refrigeration unit circulates refrigerant through the showcase, removing heat from the interior. Dynamic cooling uses a double air curtain to create a consistent cold barrier across the open front, preventing warm air from entering and ensuring even temperatures throughout the display area. This method allows the showcase to operate without a glass door, giving customers direct access to products while still meeting strict temperature standards for food safety. The operator positions the external refrigeration unit in a separate location, connecting it to the showcase via refrigerant lines. Once connected, the system is powered on, and the electronic temperature regulator is set to the desired climate class—3M1 for delicate items like dairy, 3M2 for general chilled goods, or 3H1 for slightly warmer displays. Energy-saving fans circulate cold air evenly, while the mechanical expansion valve regulates refrigerant flow to maintain steady cooling. The digital display shows the current temperature, allowing staff to monitor conditions without opening the unit. Products are loaded onto the five adjustable shelves, which can be repositioned in height and angle to suit different items, from pastries to pre-packaged meals. The bottom base shelf provides additional space for larger or bulkier products. LED overhead lighting illuminates the display, with options for white pastry lighting or a pink tint to enhance the appearance of fresh produce. The showcase is constructed with a coated steel front lower panel, a coated aluminium top panel, and a stainless steel base plinth for durability and ease of cleaning. The interior and display shelves are also made of coated steel, available in various colours to match the shop's aesthetic. A siphoned condensate drain with a 40 mm connecting pipe ensures moisture is efficiently removed, preventing water build-up inside the unit. The innovative top mounting profile system allows for flexible installation, accommodating different store layouts. Controls include an electronic temperature regulator with a digital display for precise climate management. The voltage requirement of 230 V at 50 Hz means the unit connects to a standard single-phase supply, suitable for most commercial kitchens and retail environments. The power rating of 0.109 kW reflects the energy-efficient design, reducing operational costs while maintaining consistent cooling performance. The footprint of 1875 mm wide, 800 mm deep, and 2045 mm high ensures the showcase fits into a variety of retail spaces, from small delicatessens to larger supermarkets. The coated steel shelves and aluminium trim resist fingerprints and smudges, so the unit stays spotless with a quick wipe after each service rush. The stainless steel base plinth and interior shelves can be sanitised regularly to maintain hygiene standards. The condensate drain should be checked periodically to ensure it remains clear and functional. White-pastry or pink LED strips cast even light across every shelf, keeping pastries and deli meats visible without casting shadows that need dusting. The VARIO 1.88 80 L is available in multiple configurations, with options for different panel colours, shelf arrangements, and lighting colours. The remote-driven design allows the refrigeration unit to be placed outside the main display area, reducing noise and heat in the customer-facing space. This showcase is categorised under professional refrigeration equipment for chilled display, designed for retail environments requiring reliable, energy-efficient cooling with flexible installation options.
