The Asber ARF-17 Reach-In Freezer
The Asber ARF-17 is a one section reach-in freezer with (1) solid door and 17.0 cu. ft. of frozen storage in a 27-1/2 In. wide cabinet. Bottom mount, self-contained R-290 refrigeration holds -4°F to -8°F in ambient conditions up to 90°F and 65% relative humidity, so ice cream stays scoopable and frozen proteins stay rock solid even when the kitchen is running hot.
Stainless Steel Cabinet With Coved Corner Floor
The exterior front and sides are stainless steel over a galvanized back, and the interior is stainless steel throughout. Compared with painted or aluminum liners that scratch and pit under frozen cases and heavy pans, stainless holds its finish year after year. The interior floor is coved at the corners for sanitation, so defrost wipe-downs are quick and nothing collects where you cannot reach.
2 In. Ecomate Insulation With R-290 Refrigeration
Holding sub-zero temperatures takes more than a big compressor. Asber foams the cabinet in place with 2 In. of Ecomate CFC free insulation, a formula with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of 3, so the 1/2 HP hermetic compressor is not fighting the room all day. The epoxy coated evaporator resists corrosion, the automatic evaporator design uses no paper fins, and the R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant meets DOE energy conservation standards. An electronic controller with digital display keeps the setpoint visible from across the kitchen.
Doors Built for Daily Abuse
Each solid door hangs on stainless steel hinges and seals against a one piece magnetic gasket you can pull off without tools for cleaning or replacement. The in-step door design tightens the seal and reduces frame sweating, which matters twice as much on a freezer. Full length recessed handles give any operator a natural grip, doors lock with a universal key, and LED interior lighting makes it easy to find product in a fully loaded cabinet. On the single door model the door is field reversible, so the swing can match your line layout.
