What Makes the Infrico AN Glass Door Freezer Range a Professional Solution for UK Hospitality?
The Infrico AN glass door freezer range is designed for UK hospitality operators who require stable low-temperature performance, high visibility and durable construction. Operating between –18 °C and –22 °C, the AN501BT-CR and AN1002BT-CR provide dependable frozen storage for restaurants, hotels, bars and food production sites. Their heated triple-glazed doors prevent condensation, ensuring clear product visibility even in warm, high-traffic environments.
With ventilated freezing, R290 refrigerant and automatic defrost, these units deliver consistent temperatures and fast recovery during busy service periods. The stainless steel build and hygienic internal layout make the range a strong long-term investment for modern UK foodservice operations.
How Does the Infrico AN Freezer Range Maintain Reliable Freezing Performance in Busy Commercial Environments?
Ventilated cooling ensures an even distribution of sub-zero air throughout the cabinet, preventing warm spots and protecting stock quality. This airflow system helps maintain stable –18 °C to –22 °C temperatures during frequent door openings, common in UK restaurant and hotel kitchens.
The heated triple-glazed glass doors play a key role in maintaining visibility and controlling condensation, reducing the need for manual wiping and helping operators carry out fast product checks without opening the door. Combined with digital temperature control and automatic defrost, the system supports dependable daily operation.
Which Construction Features Enhance Durability and Hygiene on the AN501BT-CR and AN1002BT-CR?
Both models feature high grade AISI 304 stainless steel interiors and exteriors, offering strong resistance to corrosion, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Rounded interior corners reduce dirt traps and simplify daily cleaning routines, supporting UK hygiene standards.
Each door is fitted with a replaceable gasket, ensuring an airtight seal and reducing long-term maintenance costs. Internal LED lighting provides clear illumination across shelves, helping staff locate products quickly while maintaining organisation and food safety.
How Does Heated Triple Glazing Improve Visibility and Energy Efficiency on the Infrico AN Upright Freezers?
Heated triple-glazed doors reduce condensation and frost build-up on the glass, keeping the view clear even in humid or high-temperature kitchen environments. This technology improves product visibility, reduces door-opening time and helps maintain stable internal temperatures.
The glass may appear darker than in promotional images due to its low-emissive coating, which enhances thermal insulation and reduces energy loss through the door surface. This helps the freezer remain efficient while still providing strong visibility.
