IGLOO Showcase VARIO 2.50 80H Remote Cold Display Case

A remote-driven cold display case keeps chilled food visible and safe without an on-board compressor. The external condensing unit circulates refrigerant through the showcase, removing heat and maintaining the set temperature while the interior stays uncluttered and quiet. A double air curtain flows across the open front, sealing the cold zone from ambient air and cutting energy use without a glass door. This method allows continuous customer access and clear product visibility, essential for high-turnover retail environments.

The operator loads the six adjustable shelves and the base shelf with chilled goods, then sets the electronic regulator to one of three climate classes: 3M1 for delicate items such as dairy and prepared salads, 3M2 for general chilled produce, or 3H1 for slightly warmer displays like cured meats. The digital display confirms the chosen temperature range, and the energy-saving fans start automatically, circulating cold air evenly across every shelf. LED overhead lighting switches on, casting either white or pink tones to enhance the appearance of pastries or fresh meats. Condensate drains through a siphoned pipe, preventing odours and blockages.

Construction combines coated steel and aluminium for durability and hygiene. The front lower panel and interior shelves are coated steel, available in various colours to match store branding. The front top panel is a coated aluminium profile, while the base plinth is stainless steel for easy cleaning. Shelves adjust in height and angle, accommodating different product sizes and presentation styles. The remote design means the showcase itself contains no compressor, reducing noise and heat output at the point of sale.

Controls consist of an electronic temperature regulator with a digital display, allowing precise setting and monitoring of the internal climate. The 230 V, 50 Hz power requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, while the 0.137 kW rating indicates a low electrical load for continuous operation. The 2500 mm length, 800 mm width and 2245 mm height create a substantial display footprint, suitable for high-volume retail spaces.

Cleaning involves wiping down the coated steel and aluminium surfaces with mild detergent, while the stainless steel base plinth resists stains and corrosion. The siphoned condensate drain requires periodic checking to ensure free flow. Shelves remove for thorough cleaning, and the LED lighting remains cool to the touch, reducing heat transfer to displayed goods.

The VARIO 2.50 80H is part of the IGLOO remote showcase range, designed for integration with external condensing units. It fits within the professional refrigeration category, specifically for open-front chilled food presentation in retail environments.
