SC-FT Series Top-Mounted Glass Door Display Refrigerator

The Realmann SC-FT Top-Mounted Glass Door Display Refrigerator Series provides commercial refrigerated merchandising solutions for supermarkets, grocery chains, beverage retailers, and foodservice operations. Designed with a top-mounted refrigeration unit and a flat-front display cabinet, the series combines substantial chilled storage capacity with accessible product presentation.

Available in three configurations—SC-1006FT, SC-1506FT, and SC-1906FT—the range provides 950L, 1460L, and 1980L usable capacities, with refrigerated display areas of 1.92 m², 2.88 m², and 3.84 m² respectively.

Unlike bottom-mounted or rear-mounted display cabinets, the SC-FT Series positions its refrigeration unit in the upper section of the cabinet. This configuration offers an alternative equipment layout for commercial projects where unit positioning, ventilation, and service access are important considerations.

The refrigerator features double-layer electrically heated Low-E tempered glass doors, combining insulated glazing with an anti-condensation heating function. The Low-E coating helps reduce radiant heat transfer through the glass, while electric heating helps maintain clear visibility by limiting surface condensation.

A fan-forced refrigeration system circulates chilled air throughout the cabinet, supporting a specified operating temperature range of 0°C to +7°C. The system uses R290 refrigerant and Cubigel or Donper compressor configurations, depending on production selection.

An enlarged copper-aluminum finned evaporator incorporates a manufacturer-specified 30% additional design allowance. Inside the cabinet, four adjustable shelf levels, stainless steel shelf supports, and pre-coated aluminum interior panels provide practical merchandising flexibility.

Vertical LED lighting installed along both interior sides improves product visibility, while self-closing glass doors help limit accidental prolonged openings. Integrated door handles maintain a streamlined cabinet appearance.

A self-evaporating condensate system reduces routine manual water disposal, making the refrigerator suitable for busy commercial retail environments.

As a commercial refrigeration OEM/ODM manufacturer, Realmann supports wholesale and project-based inquiries for refrigerated display equipment, including optional PCM or aluminum panel configurations.

The Low-E coating helps reduce radiant heat transfer, while the electrically heated glass helps prevent condensation from obstructing product visibility.

This configuration is useful in commercial environments where refrigerated door surfaces are exposed to humid indoor air.

4. Refrigerated Display Area Up to 3.84 m²

The SC-FT Series provides display areas designed for different merchandising volumes:

The larger display areas support wider product assortments and organized refrigerated merchandise presentation.

5. Fan-Forced Cooling from 0°C to +7°C

A fan-circulated refrigeration system distributes chilled air through the cabinet.

The specified temperature range of 0°C to +7°C supports appropriate chilled beverages and packaged refrigerated products.

Actual operating performance depends on ambient conditions, product loading, airflow clearance, and door-opening frequency.

6. Enlarged Copper-Aluminum Finned Evaporator

The refrigeration system uses an enlarged copper-aluminum finned evaporator with a manufacturer-specified 30% additional design allowance.

The evaporator provides heat-exchange surfaces for the cooling system, while the additional allowance represents a refrigeration design margin.

The figure does not establish a guaranteed 30% increase in energy efficiency or cooling capacity.

7. Four Adjustable Shelf Levels

Each model includes four adjustable shelf levels for flexible merchandising arrangements.

Retailers can adapt shelf positions to accommodate bottled beverages, canned drinks, and suitable packaged chilled products.

8. Stainless Steel Shelf Supports and Pre-Coated Aluminum Interior

The cabinet includes corrosion-resistant stainless steel shelf supports and pre-coated aluminum interior panels.

These materials support routine shelf adjustment, cleaning, and maintenance in commercial refrigerated display environments.

9. Self-Closing Glass Doors with Integrated Handles

The self-closing mechanism helps return glass doors to their closed position after customer access.

This reduces the likelihood of prolonged accidental openings and helps limit unnecessary warm-air infiltration.

Integrated handles provide convenient door access while maintaining a clean cabinet profile.

10. Dual-Side Vertical LED Lighting

Vertical LED lighting installed along both interior sides improves merchandise visibility across the cabinet.

The arrangement helps customers identify chilled products displayed on different shelf levels, supporting clear retail presentation.

11. Self-Evaporating Condensate Management

A self-evaporating condensate system is designed to reduce routine manual water disposal under normal operating conditions.

This simplifies daily handling in retail environments where refrigeration equipment operates for extended periods.
