Reach-In Refrigeration

The Basics

Reach-in refrigeration has become an integral component in commercial kitchens as these units provide accessibility for perishable items in the front and back of house.

Quick Fact

This equipment serves not just as a storage vehicle but also as a marketing tool and profit center showcasing grab and go items.

Cleaning and Maintaining

When properly maintained, reach-ins can last on average 15 years, although some units have been in service as long as 30 years. Here's how to keep them running for longer.

Dynamic Response Refrigeration™ with Smart Control™ Traulsen ITW

By sensing and adapting to real-time kitchen conditions, it can reduce energy usage by 40%, noise by 30%, and ENERGY STAR 5.0 compliance is achieved. This technology optimizes performance, boosts uptime, improves temperature control, and reduces food waste by customizing operation based on a kitchen's high and low-use periods.

Did You Know…

When storing items like wine and chocolate at proper temperatures, operators will often turn to specialized units.

Choosing Reach-in Refrigeration

Consider configuration and storage needs when purchasing a reach-in unit.

By the Way...

For additional storage, smaller undercounter reach-ins take up minimal space, and operators use these units for products that staff require during display preparation or at a point of service.
