Energy-Saving Commercial Island Freezer with Side-to-Side Sliding Glass Doors
Features
- Side-to-Side Sliding Glass Doors
- 85mm High-Insulation Cabinet
- Automatic Hot-Gas Defrost
- R290 & Secop Refrigeration
- 595–955L Frozen Storage
The CQH Series Energy-Saving Combination Island Freezer is designed for supermarkets, hypermarkets, frozen-food stores and other retail environments requiring convenient product access and reliable low-temperature merchandising.
Unlike the front-and-back opening CQV series, this model features side-to-side sliding glass doors. The lateral sliding mechanism provides smooth access to frozen merchandise while keeping the cabinet enclosed to reduce unnecessary cold-air loss.
Operating from -18°C to -22°C, the freezer is suitable for frozen food, meat, seafood, ice cream and packaged frozen products. It uses R290 refrigerant, Secop compressors and Dixell/Elitech temperature controllers for dependable commercial operation.
An 85 mm thick insulated cabinet, automatic hot-gas defrost and self-evaporating condensate system help reduce routine maintenance while supporting efficient freezer operation. Food-grade pre-coated aluminum interiors and divider baskets provide an organized, easy-to-clean storage environment.
Five configurations are available with effective capacities ranging from 595L to 955L.
Features
Side-to-Side Sliding Glass Doors
The freezer uses horizontally sliding glass panels that move left and right for convenient access.
Compared with hinged doors, the sliding structure requires no outward opening clearance, making it suitable for busy supermarket aisles and center-floor installations.
85mm Energy-Saving Cabinet
The cabinet uses an 85 mm thick insulated structure to reduce heat transfer between the frozen interior and the surrounding store environment.
According to the supplied product information, the design can achieve up to 40% energy savings, depending on operating conditions and the basis of comparison.
-18°C to -22°C Frozen Storage
The low-temperature range is designed for commercial frozen-food merchandising.
It is suitable for products whose required storage conditions fall within -18°C to -22°C.
R290 Refrigeration System
All models use R290 refrigerant, providing an efficient commercial refrigeration solution for supermarket freezer applications.
Secop Compressor
Secop compressors provide stable cooling performance for continuous retail operation.
Automatic Hot-Gas Defrost
The hot-gas defrost system automatically removes accumulated frost, reducing the need for manual defrosting and simplifying routine maintenance.
Self-Evaporating Condensate System
Defrost water is automatically evaporated during normal operation, reducing the need for staff to manually empty a drainage container.
Food-Grade Pre-Coated Aluminum Interior
The internal cabinet uses food-grade pre-coated aluminum, providing a clean and practical surface for frozen-food storage.
Internal Divider Baskets
Built-in baskets divide the storage space into separate merchandising zones.
They are useful for organizing different frozen product categories and improving stock management.
Aluminum Alloy Handles
The redesigned aluminum alloy handles provide a convenient grip and support smooth sliding-door operation.
External Price Label Holder
Price labels can be positioned externally for easier customer identification and clearer retail merchandising.
Integrated Support Wheels
Built-in castors make it easier to reposition the cabinet during installation, cleaning or store layout changes.
LED Interior Lighting
LED lighting improves visibility inside the freezer and makes frozen products easier for customers to locate.

Application Scenarios
Supermarkets
The freezer can be installed in center aisles, frozen-food sections or promotional areas for high-visibility frozen merchandising.
Frozen Food Retail
Suitable product categories include:
- Frozen vegetables
- Frozen dumplings
- Frozen pizza
- Ready meals
- Frozen snacks
- Packaged frozen foods
Meat and Seafood
Divider baskets help organize different packaged frozen meat and seafood products within the same cabinet.
Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts
The -18°C to -22°C temperature range makes the cabinet suitable for many ice cream and frozen dessert products when their specified storage temperature falls within this range.
Hypermarkets
The CQH-19L and CQH-22L provide larger capacities for high-volume retail stores.
Convenience Stores
The more compact CQH-15L and CQH-15D models can support frozen food and ice cream merchandising in stores with more limited floor space.
Promotional Frozen-Food Zones
The horizontal island format is well suited to seasonal campaigns, promotional packs and high-turnover frozen merchandise.
Why Choose Side-to-Side Sliding Glass Doors?
The door structure is one of the main differences between this CQH series and other island freezer configurations.
The glass panels slide horizontally rather than opening outward, which offers several practical benefits:
- No outward door clearance required
- Easy access from the customer side
- Improved aisle utilization
- Clear product visibility
- Reduced cold-air escape compared with an open freezer
- Convenient operation in busy retail environments
This makes the cabinet particularly suitable for supermarket center-floor and frozen-food merchandising areas.
Energy-Efficient Frozen Merchandising
Maintaining temperatures below -18°C can require substantial refrigeration energy.
The CQH series combines several design features intended to reduce unnecessary energy loss:
- 85 mm insulation
- Enclosed sliding glass doors
- Automatic hot-gas defrost
- R290 refrigeration
- Controlled electronic temperature management
- Self-evaporating condensate handling
Together, these features provide a practical solution for commercial frozen-food display where both operating efficiency and customer accessibility are important.
Organized Frozen Food Storage
The freezer includes internal divider baskets to separate merchandise into clearly defined sections.
This can help retailers improve:
- SKU organization
- Product category separation
- Replenishment efficiency
- Inventory visibility
- Customer product selection
For example, one cabinet can be divided into frozen meat, seafood, vegetables and prepared-food sections.
