Excellence Industries HBD-10HC 60 In. Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet, 10 Can Display, Sloped Glass Canopy, Wide Range Thermostat

SKUHBD-10HC BrandExcellence Industries

The Excellence Industries HBD-10HC Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet

The Excellence Industries HBD-10HC puts ten 3-gallon cans on the serving line with eight more in storage, all in a 59 1/2 inch wide cabinet. Parlors running double-digit flavor boards get a full lineup at dipping temperature plus a bench of backups, without giving up floor space to a second cabinet and a second compressor.

Serving Temperature from -15°F to +25°F on a Wide Range Thermostat

Dipping is a temperature game. Too cold and scooping bends spades; too warm and the cans turn to soup by mid-shift. The wide range thermostat covers -15°F to +25°F, so you can dial in the exact serving zone for hard-packed ice cream and adjust as amounts and ambient temperatures change through the season. A cold wall evaporator does the cooling through the cabinet walls, with no evaporator fan to clog with dust or block with product, and the circuit pairs R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with a 1/4 HP compressor drawing 2.0 running amps on a standard 115 volt outlet.

10 Cans up Front, 8 Tempering Below

The well holds 10 3-gallon cans at serving level with tub holders keeping each one square to the dip line, and 8 more cans sit in the extra storage section below. Backups temper in the same cabinet at the same temperature, so swapping a dead can takes seconds instead of a trip to the walk-in. LED interior lighting keeps the flavor colors bright under the canopy instead of washing them out the way warm-running tubes do.

Sloped Glass Canopy with Mezzanine Shelf

The curved glass sneeze guard leans the product toward the customer, and the mezzanine shelf above the well adds display space for cones, toppings, or novelty boxes right where people are already looking. Single layer heat reflective lids close over the cans to hold temperature overnight, and optional night covers add another layer of protection for cabinets on an open sales floor. The interior is painted steel, and standard casters with two locking let one person roll the cabinet out for cleaning. Some assembly is required on delivery.

Options from Dipper Well to Custom Graphics

Excellence offers a dipper well to keep spades rinsed between scoops, a lock and key kit for overnight security, and custom graphics that turn the long white front panel into your own billboard. Start with the bare cabinet and add what your counter needs as the program grows.

    About Ice Cream Dipping Cabinets

    Ice cream dipping cabinets are display freezers built for staff-served ice cream and gelato. The curved glass front lets customers see the flavors while staff scoops to order. Ice cream shops, restaurants, cafeterias, and hotels use them to keep product cold, visible, and ready to serve all day.

    Dipping cabinets come in different tub counts to match your menu. An 8 tub cabinet works for most operations with a moderate flavor selection. A 12 tub cabinet is better for high-volume programs or wider menus. Smaller units fit shorter menus or tight counter space. Many models include a sneeze guard, which is often required by local health codes.

    Temperature matters. Hard ice cream is stored between 0°F and 10°F. Gelato is held slightly warmer to keep its softer texture. Make sure the cabinet you choose can hold the right temperature for what you serve.

     

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Standard Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet: A curved glass front display freezer designed for staff-served scooped ice cream. Available in multiple tub configurations to match your flavor selection and daily volume.
    • Ice Cream & Gelato Dipping Cabinet: Holds both hard ice cream and softer gelato at the right temperatures. A practical option for operations that serve both from the same display.
    • Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet with Sneeze Guard: Includes a protective sneeze guard above the display area. A standard feature in high-traffic service environments where staff scoop product directly in front of customers.
    • Small Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet: Compact 4 to 7 tub units for short menus, lower volume, or tight counter space.
    • Mid-Size Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet: 8 to 10 tub configurations. Works well for operations with a moderate flavor selection and steady daily volume.
    • Large Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet: 12, 13, and 16 tub configurations for high-volume operations or menus with a wide flavor selection. Common in dedicated ice cream shops.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Tub Capacity: Match the tub count to your menu and volume. 8 tubs covers most operations. Go with 12 or more for wider flavor selections or high turnover.
    • Temperature Range: Hard ice cream needs 0°F to 10°F. Gelato is held warmer. Make sure the unit holds steady temps under full load.
    • Sneeze Guard: A sneeze guard sits above the display area to protect product from contamination during service. Many models include one as a standard feature. Confirm whether the unit you choose has a sneeze guard built in or available as an add-on.
    • Display Visibility: Curved glass and good interior lighting make flavors easy to see. Clear visibility speeds up service and drives impulse purchases.
    • Footprint and Counter Space: Dipping cabinets take up significant counter or floor space depending on tub count. Measure your area before you order.
    • Ease of Cleaning: Ice cream service creates spills. Look for removable tub inserts, smooth interior surfaces, and accessible drains for daily cleaning.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is an ice cream dipping cabinet?

    An ice cream dipping cabinet is a commercial display freezer built for staff-served scooped ice cream and gelato. The curved glass front lets customers view the flavors while staff scoops servings to order. They are used in ice cream shops, restaurants, cafeterias, and hotels where a staff member serves each customer directly.

    What temperature should an ice cream dipping cabinet be set at?

    Hard ice cream dipping cabinets should be set between 0°F and 10°F. That keeps product firm enough to scoop cleanly while still soft enough to serve. Gelato is held slightly warmer, usually between 10°F and 22°F, to keep its softer texture. If your cabinet serves both, confirm it can hold the right temperature for each, or use separate units.

    What is the difference between an ice cream dipping cabinet and an ice cream display freezer?

    A dipping cabinet is for staff-served scooped ice cream and gelato. The curved glass front lets customers see the flavors while staff scoops to order. A display freezer is for self-serve packaged products like novelties, pints, and bars. Use dipping cabinets for attended service. Use display freezers for self-serve and grab-and-go.
