Excellence Industries HBG-4HC 29 In. Curved Glass Gelato Dipping Cabinet, 4 Pan Display, Mezzanine Shelf, LED Lighting

SKUHBG-4HC BrandExcellence Industries

The Excellence Industries HBG-4HC Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet

The Excellence Industries HBG-4HC is a curved glass gelato dipping cabinet that puts a four pan flavor board in a footprint just 28 1/2 inches wide. The four 5 liter stainless steel pans come in the box, so a cafe or bakery adding scooped gelato to an existing counter is serving the day the cabinet rolls off the pallet. Lower storage keeps backup pans tempering below the display.

Curved Glass Front with a Mezzanine Shelf

The curved glass leans the display toward the customer, so every pan sits at eye level for the person choosing between pistachio and stracciatella. A mezzanine shelf above the pans stages cones, toppings, or takeaway pints inside the refrigerated envelope, which is merchandising space a flat top case simply does not have. Two sliding glass doors on the operator side let staff scoop without ever breaking the sight line your customer is looking through.

Wide Range Thermostat from -5°F to +40°F

The thermostat spans -5°F to +40°F, so you can hold gelato at its softer serving zone, drop colder for hard-packed ice cream, or warm the well and run refrigerated display in the off season. That range means the cabinet keeps earning its floor space year round instead of idling when the gelato program winds down. Single layer heat reflective lids bounce radiant heat away from the pans overnight.

Cold Wall Evaporator and LED Interior Lighting

Cooling comes from a cold wall evaporator built into the cabinet walls, with no evaporator fan to clog with dust or block when the well is loaded. LED interior lighting brightens every pan without the heat load of fluorescent tubes, so the compressor is not fighting its own light fixture. The circuit pairs R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with a 1/7 HP compressor drawing 1.3 running amps, and the whole cabinet runs on an ordinary 115 volt outlet.

Pans Included, Casters Standard, Options for Service

The four 5 liter stainless steel pans are standard equipment, not an accessory order, and the painted steel interior with white finish takes daily scooping traffic. Casters with two locking roll the cabinet out for cleaning behind the counter line. Excellence offers an optional dipper well for rinsing spades between scoops, a lock and key kit for overnight security, and custom graphics for the white exterior panels.

    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.
