Coldline DP-160-FSG 26" 4-Tub Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet Freezer with Flat Sneeze Guard, 5.5 Cu. Ft.

SKUDP-160-FSG BrandColdline

The Coldline DP-160-FSG Ice Cream & Gelato Dipping

The Coldline DP-160-FSG is a 26 inch ice cream dipping cabinet freezer that showcases four three gallon tubs at dipping depth and stores two more below, for six tubs on hand in 5.5 cubic feet of frozen space. Scoop shops, candy stores, dessert bars, and cafeterias use dipping cabinets because the tubs sit down in the cold well at scooping height, with interior LED lighting that makes the flavors easy to read through the glass. This FSG version adds a factory-fitted flat-front glass sneeze guard, so the cabinet is ready for customer-facing service the day it arrives.

Showcase Tubs up Front, Backup Tubs Below

The tub racks hold four standard 10 inch by 10 inch three gallon tubs in the serving position, and the well below them stores two backup tubs already at temperature. When a flavor runs out mid-rush, the scooper swaps in a frozen-solid replacement in seconds instead of selling soft ice cream from a tub that just left the walk-in freezer. The cabinet pulls down to a -15°F to 8°F range, letting you tune hardness to your product, harder for gelato pans in transit, softer for easy scooping at the counter.

Flat Glass Top with Sliding Doors and a Built-In Lock

Two glass doors slide over the flat top, so the server opens only the half of the cabinet they are scooping from and the rest stays sealed. Flat glass also gives you usable top surface for cone dispensers and topping shakers, something curved-glass cabinets give up. The built-in lock secures the whole case at close, which matters when the cabinet lives in a shared lobby or a school cafeteria line.

Flat-Front Glass Sneeze Guard

The clear flat-front sneeze guard angles up from the top rail, putting a code-friendly barrier between customers and open tubs while they lean in to pick a flavor. Because the panels are flat rather than curved, sightlines stay undistorted and replacement glass is simpler to source. The guard raises the cabinet height to 52 inches, still low enough for a server of average height to scoop comfortably over the top.

Simple Controls and a Rear Drain Plug

A manual thermostat handles temperature without electronics to fail, and the rear drain plug turns defrost day into a hose-and-drain job instead of a bail-with-buckets one. White powder coated steel outside and white precoated steel inside wipe clean and keep the cabinet looking bright in front of customers. An eco-friendly R290 system with a 1/4+ HP compressor does the freezing, a coated wire basket adds space for novelties, and four preinstalled low profile casters let you roll the cabinet out for cleaning, with brakes to plant it in place during service. It runs on a standard outlet with a 71 inch cord.

    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.
