Energy-Efficient Refrigeration System with Digital Controls

This unit operates using a 1 1/4 hp compressor and R290 refrigerant. This specialized refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3, making it an environmentally-responsible choice for your business. This air curtain has digital controls to make it easy to keep an eye on the interior temperature. The unit has a temperature range of 33-40 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, this unit has an automatic defrost cycle, so your staff doesn't need to spend valuable time clearing out ice.

Perforated Back Panel

Avantco units contain a perforated back panel to ensure that air moves freely throughout the unit, keeping food and drinks cool. With increased ventilation, this unit uses less energy than comparable models. Also, the perforated back panel prevents the user from blocking airflow if the merchandiser becomes overfilled.

Durable and Easy to Maintain

For outstanding durability, this air curtain merchandiser is made of coated steel inside and out. To help maintain the cold interior temperatures, this unit has foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation. The insulation also adds structural strength and rigidity. A drain pan heater helps evaporation of condensation, and an optional drain is included that can be utilized if the unit is producing excess condensation. Plus, it has casters to make it easy to move the unit away from the wall for cleaning and maintenance.

Customer Q&AAsk a Question

Can I put warm items in my air curtain merchandiser to chill them?

This unit is intended for maintaining cold product temperatures, but not for making warm items colder. For best results, items loaded into this unit should be pre-chilled to proper serving temperatures, and ambient conditions should not exceed 75 degrees Fahrenheit / 55 percent relative humidity.

Do I need to connect the drain on the back of the unit?

No, the unit comes standard with a drain pan heater to evaporate away normal amounts of condensation. The external drain is only needed if your unit is producing excessive condensation, most often caused by high humidity.

Does Avantco warrant this item for use in a food truck?

Avantco warrants new equipment sold to food truck customers to be operational for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery if installed and maintained correctly.

I haven’t heard of R-290, R-600a, R-513a, or R-448A refrigerant before. What is it?

R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.

What type of environment is best suited for this merchandiser?

It is important to install this unit in a location that is not near a doorway or in direct sunlight. This merchandiser is intended for use in temperature controlled environments that stay below 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 55% relative humidity. Note that malfunction due to improper environmental conditions is not covered under the unit's warranty.

Can this item fit through a standard height 80" doorway ?

Due to the height of this item, it may not be able to fit through a standard 80" tall doorway when standing upright. Please consider the best means of entry before purchasing, or measure your entryway to ensure that you will be able to bring your order inside if the item cannot be carried on its side.

Thing is junk we had it for 4 years and have had it fixed and repaired multiple times, now finally told today that we need to get a new one cause there are holes all over the coils and its just not worth fixing it.

Avantco is the worst company. This fridge stopped working after one year of service.

This fridge is used everyday at our coffee shop. For saying that it is a pretty good fridge. My only complaint is that if its a warm day out and you don’t have the plastic screen down the items inside will begain to get warm. If its a very hot day and the plastic screen in down it still has a hard time staying cold. In saying this I will say that we keep are shop pretty open and fresh air is always coming through so that could be the problem. For how much this is, it does a pretty good job.
