Omcan 50116 29 In. Reach-In Freezer, 21.5 cu. ft. (609L), Stainless Steel, 1 Solid Door, Energy Star

SKU50116 BrandOmcan

The Omcan 50116 Reach-In Freezer

The Omcan 50116 is a 29-inch stainless steel reach-in freezer with 21.5 cu. ft. of storage and 1 self-closing solid door, built for restaurant kitchens, bakeries, and institutional food service operations that need reliable frozen storage for proteins, prepared foods, ice cream, and frozen ingredients. The temperature range of -8°F to 0°F (-22 to 1°C) keeps products safely frozen, and the Energy Star certification means it meets strict efficiency standards that lower your utility costs over the life of the unit.

Forced Air Cooling with Embraco Compressor

The forced air cooling system paired with an Embraco compressor circulates cold air evenly through the cabinet so every shelf level holds the same temperature. Embraco compressors are known in the commercial refrigeration industry for reliability and efficient operation, which is why you see them in equipment across restaurant supply catalogs. Automatic defrost runs on a set schedule, so you never have to empty the freezer and scrape ice off the evaporator coils manually. R290 refrigerant with cyclopentane insulation keeps the system efficient while meeting current environmental standards.

3 Plastic-Coated Shelves with Wide-Handle Doors

Each of the 3 adjustable plastic-coated shelves (24.4" x 27") holds up to 88 lb, which means you can stack full hotel pans of frozen product without shelf sag. The plastic coating resists ice buildup and makes cleaning easier when spills freeze onto the surface. Self-closing doors with wide handles are easy to pull open even when your hands are full or wearing gloves, and the positive latch keeps the door sealed between trips. LED lighting inside the cabinet lets you find what you need quickly without holding the door open and losing cold air.

Four casters let you roll the 264 lb unit away from the wall for cleaning. At 29" x 32.2" x 81.7" on a standard 115V/60Hz/1Ph circuit (NEMA 5-15P plug), it fits into a kitchen line without special electrical work. Maximum ambient operating temperature is 100°F.

    About Reach-In Freezers

    Commercial reach-in freezers are a must for any professional kitchen that needs reliable frozen storage. Restaurants, hotels, caterers, and food trucks all rely on them to keep ingredients and prepared items at safe temperatures and close at hand. These units are built for daily use and hold steady below zero, even in a busy, hot kitchen.

    Reach-in freezers come in 1, 2, or 3 door models. A 1 door unit fits small kitchens or works as a station freezer. Most restaurants use a 2 door model. High-volume kitchens that need the most storage go with 3 doors to keep product accessible during service.

    Glass door reach-in freezers let staff see what's inside without opening the door, which helps keep temperatures steady. Pass-through and roll-in models are available if your workflow needs them. The key is to match the freezer size and type to your actual storage needs.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • 1 Door Commercial Reach-In Freezer: Compact upright for small kitchens or station use. Holds 20 to 27 cubic feet and fits tight spaces.
    • 2 Door Commercial Reach-In Freezer: Most common in restaurants. Balances storage and footprint. Usually 46 to 54 cubic feet.
    • 3 Door Commercial Reach-In Freezer: For high-volume kitchens that need maximum frozen storage. Used in large restaurants, hotels, and catering.
    • Glass Door Reach-In Freezer: Lets staff see product without opening the door. Helps keep temperatures steady during service.
    • Pass-Through Freezer: Opens from both sides. Good for moving product between stations or from prep to service.
    • Roll-In Freezer: Takes sheet pan racks. Used in bakeries, catering, and institutions for freezing large batches fast.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Interior Capacity: Match cubic feet to what you actually need. Most restaurants use a 2 door unit in the 46 to 54 cubic foot range. High-volume kitchens may need 3 doors or more than one unit.
    • Temperature Range: The freezer must hold 0°F or below. If your kitchen is hot, check the ambient rating to make sure it can keep up.
    • Compressor Location: Top-mount runs cooler and is better for hot kitchens. Bottom-mount is easier to service but may not keep up in high heat.
    • Door Configuration: Solid doors insulate better. Glass doors help with visibility and speed. Pick what fits your workflow.
    • Interior Shelving: Go for adjustable shelves that fit your pans and containers. Epoxy-coated wire is standard and easy to clean.
    • Defrost System: Most units use automatic defrost. Make sure the system fits your usage and doesn't cause temperature spikes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What temperature should a commercial reach-in freezer be set to?

    A commercial reach-in freezer needs to hold 0°F or below at all times. Health codes require frozen food to stay at 0°F or colder. If your kitchen runs hot, make sure the freezer can keep temperature under a full load.

    What is the difference between a walk-in freezer and a reach-in freezer?

    A reach-in freezer is an upright cabinet you open to grab items. A walk-in is a room you enter for bulk storage. Reach-ins go on or near the line for quick access. Walk-ins are for holding large amounts of product longer term.

    What is the difference between a 1, 2, and 3 door commercial reach-in freezer?

    Door count sets the storage and footprint. 1 door is compact for small kitchens or stations. 2 doors fit most restaurants. 3 doors are for high-volume kitchens that need lots of frozen storage and fast access during service.
