Commercial Horizontal Refrigerators Suppliers

Commercial Horizontal Refrigerator Manufacturing at Bingluo

Jiangsu Bingluo Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. has built commercial refrigeration equipment in China since 2006, and the horizontal refrigerator line sits at the center of our cold storage range. We produce the Commercial Horizontal Refrigerator in direct-cool and air-cooled series for restaurant kitchens, supermarket back rooms, hotel pantries, bakeries, dessert shops and milk tea preparation areas.

Each unit is configured around the working temperature, the type of food or beverage stored, the available floor footprint and the way staff open and close the lid during service. Our production base in the China-Jiangsu-Dianshan Lake Development Zone covers more than 30 acres with a 12,500 m² standardized factory building, and the commercial refrigerator production line runs under an Industry 3.0 management system.

Range and Positioning in the Horizontal Refrigerator Family

The horizontal format places the storage compartment below a flat or slightly sloped work surface, so the unit doubles as a prep station. Our range covers two cooling architectures and two stainless steel grades, giving project teams a clear starting point for kitchens that need either fast recovery after frequent lid opening or steadier long-run holding.

How the Two Cooling Methods Differ in Service

Direct-cool units place the evaporator in contact with the cabinet walls, so cold transfers through the liner without a fan. This suits kitchens where the lid stays closed for longer periods and where a simpler internal layout is preferred. Air-cooled units circulate chilled air through the compartment, which helps restore temperature quickly after the lid is opened during a busy prep shift.

• Direct-cool: fewer moving parts in the cold path, steady holding for wrapped goods and bulk ingredients.
• Air-cooled: faster recovery under frequent access, more even temperature across shelf positions.
• Both series: LED digital temperature control, thickened insulation layer and an automatic return door that closes itself after use.

Materials, Shelves and Daily Handling

The exterior is available in 201 or 304 stainless steel. Grade 304 is the usual choice for wet prep zones, dairy handling and areas cleaned with stronger detergents; grade 201 serves dry storage and back-of-house positions where the surface is less exposed to moisture. We confirm the grade against the cleaning routine and the surrounding equipment before the order is released.

Thickened adjustable shelves increase the load each level can carry and let staff set spacing around gastronorm pans, dough trays or beverage crates. The automatic return door reduces the chance of a lid being left open during a rush, which protects the cold chain and limits compressor run time.

Application Fit Across Foodservice Formats

• Restaurant and hotel kitchens: under-counter or worktop placement for prep ingredients, sauces and portioned proteins.
• Supermarkets and convenience retail: back-room holding of chilled stock before shelf replenishment.
• Bakeries and dessert shops: chilled holding of cream, butter, fruit and finished items before display.
• Milk tea and coffee bars: paired with our Bar Equipment and Ice Maker lines to form a complete front-of-house setup.
• Hospitals and institutional catering: reliable chilled holding where temperature discipline is part of the daily routine.

Configuration Choices We Confirm Before Production

A horizontal refrigerator is a fixed-footprint item, so the configuration conversation is mostly about dimensions, cooling method, steel grade and internal layout. We build each proposal around the actual installation position rather than a generic catalogue size.

• Overall length, depth and height, including clearance for the lid swing and door return.
• Direct-cool or air-cooled architecture, matched to access frequency and ambient kitchen temperature.
• 201 or 304 stainless steel, selected against the cleaning chemicals and humidity in the room.
• Refrigerate or freeze mode, with the target holding temperature stated in °C.
• Shelf count and spacing for the pans, trays or crates used on site.
• Voltage, frequency and plug type for the destination market.

Utilities, Installation and Operator Safety

Horizontal units need a level floor, a stable power supply and enough ventilation around the compressor compartment to reject heat. In tight kitchens, the unit should not sit against a heat source such as an oven or fryer, and the lid path should stay clear of prep traffic. We provide the electrical rating and clearance guidance with the order documents so the site team can prepare the position before delivery.

• Confirm supply voltage and frequency against the site distribution board.
• Keep the condenser area unobstructed and clean it on a scheduled basis.
• Use the automatic return door as intended; do not prop the lid open during service.
• Load shelves within the stated capacity and keep raw and ready-to-eat items separated.

Quality Control, Documentation and Support

Our factory operates seven production lines, including a dedicated commercial refrigerator line, and we maintain our own laboratory and testing equipment for product verification. Raw materials are inspected on receipt, components are manufactured to drawing, and finished units are checked for cooling performance and control function before packing.

Support covers pre-sales solution design, online installation guidance, commissioning checks, remote or on-site technical help, preventive maintenance and original spare parts. Warranty options of three years, five years or longer are available, and we can review operating data to suggest energy-saving settings.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

A precise proposal depends on a small set of project inputs. When these are supplied, we can match the model, steel grade and internal layout to the installation and issue a quotation with the correct electrical and dimensional data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the direct-cool and air-cooled horizontal refrigerators?

Direct-cool units transfer cold through the cabinet walls without a fan, which suits steadier holding and simpler internal layouts. Air-cooled units circulate chilled air to recover temperature faster when the lid is opened often. Both are available in 201 or 304 stainless steel with LED digital control.

Can one unit switch between refrigeration and freezing?

Yes. The multi-mode controller allows switching between refrigerate and freeze operation. We confirm the required holding temperature at order so the unit is set and tested for the intended duty.

Which stainless steel grade should be specified for a wet kitchen?

Grade 304 is the usual specification for wet prep zones, dairy handling and areas cleaned with stronger detergents. Grade 201 is suitable for dry storage and back-of-house positions with less moisture exposure. We match the grade to the cleaning routine and the surrounding equipment.

Can dimensions and shelf layout be customized for a project?

We build customized horizontal refrigerators and freezers, and our R&D team can develop units from customer samples. Length, depth, shelf count and spacing are agreed against the installation drawing before production begins.

What support is provided after delivery?

Support includes online installation guidance, commissioning checks, remote or on-site technical help, preventive maintenance and original spare parts. Warranty options of three years, five years or longer are available, and we can advise on energy-saving settings based on operating data.

How do I request a quotation?

Send the installation room conditions, products stored, target temperature, footprint, steel grade, voltage and quantity. Our team will return a configuration and quotation matched to those inputs.
