What is the difference between static and ventilated deli cases?

A static, or gravity-coil, case cools by letting cold air fall gently from coils over the product, which keeps humidity higher and slows drying of sliced meat and cheese. A ventilated case moves air with fans for quicker, more even temperature, which suits packaged goods and counters that are restocked often. Choose by how much unwrapped product you display.

Can raw meat and cooked deli items share one showcase?

Raw and ready-to-eat products are usually kept apart to prevent cross-contamination, and many health units expect separate display areas or clear separation, with raw meat kept below or away from ready-to-eat food. Butchers and delis selling both often use separate cases or a divided case. Check the arrangement with your local public health unit.

Commercial Deli/Meat Showcase in Canada

Deli and meat showcases are refrigerated serve-over cases that present sliced meats, cheeses, salads and fresh cuts behind glass, with staff serving from the rear. Delis, butcher shops, specialty grocers, European markets and supermarket counters use them where the product sells itself on sight. Staff usually load and serve through doors at the rear, and many models add refrigerated storage beneath the display deck.

About commercial Deli/Meat showcase products

Before you buy

Choose gravity-coil cooling for unwrapped meats and cheeses, which dries product less, or forced-air cooling where packaged items and quicker temperature recovery matter more.
Check that the front glass lifts or tilts for cleaning, since fingerprints and splatter build up on the inside of the glass as well.
Measure the display depth and the height of the working side at the rear, so staff can reach the front of the deck without leaning over the product.
Confirm whether the case needs a floor drain connection or collects melt water in a pan, so the install site is ready before delivery.
