Upright Double Door Freezers
For professional kitchens managing significant volumes of frozen stock, our Upright Double Door Freezers offer the perfect blend of massive storage and industrial-strength performance. These units are engineered to maintain deep-freeze temperatures (18C-22C}) while standing up to the heat of a commercial cooking environment. Connacht Catering’s range includes high-efficiency models with thick insulation and self-closing doors to keep running costs manageable. Whether you are storing bulk meats, prepared bases, or seasonal produce, these freezers provide the visibility and organization necessary to reduce waste and streamline your kitchen workflow.
How to Choose the Right Upright Double Door Freezers
Focus on recovery time and insulation thickness. In a double-door unit, more cold air escapes when opened, so a powerful fan-assisted cooling system is vital to bring temperatures back down quickly. Look for "No-Frost" technology to eliminate the need for manual defrosting, which is time-consuming for large units. Verify the climate class to ensure it can perform in a hot kitchen (Climate Class 4 or 5). Finally, consider models with built-in alarms that alert staff if the door is left ajar or if the temperature rises above safety limits.
Care & Maintenance
-
Ice Management: Even with auto-defrost, check for ice buildup around the fans and clear it immediately.
-
Clear Clearance: Maintain at least 10cm of space around the unit for heat dissipation.
-
Probe Calibration: Test the internal thermometer quarterly to ensure the safety of your frozen inventory.
-
Hinge Lubrication: Periodically check the heavy-duty hinges to ensure the doors close automatically and tightly.
