Everest EOMH-48-W-35-T 48 In. Horizontal Open Air Merchandiser, 9.7 Cu. Ft., 1 Adjustable Stainless Steel Shelf, White Exterior, Bottom Mount Blizzard R290

The Everest EOMH-48-W-35-T is the 48 inch width of Everest's horizontal open air merchandiser line, a tall-class case that still stops at a 46 inch cabinet so shoppers reach into the open well instead of through a door and staff keep their sightlines across the store. An air curtain stands in for doors, so 9.7 cubic feet of drinks, dairy, and packaged food sells in one motion from the low well and a single adjustable shelf while the 35°F factory preset keeps the combined average product temperature at 40°F or less. The white exterior reads clean at the front of the store, and front air intake with rear air discharge lets the case line up flush beside its siblings.

Doorless Air Curtain Front that Keeps Grab and Go Product at 40°F or Less

There is no door between the shopper and the product. A curtain of refrigerated air holds the open front, so a customer grabs a drink or a sandwich in one motion and the line keeps moving, which is the whole argument for an open case over a glass door at a busy register or lunch rush. The horizontal format adds a second argument: at 46 inches of cabinet height, the case presents product at reach-in level and leaves the view across the store open, which a full-height vertical wall cannot do. The factory preset of 35°F maintains a combined average product temperature of 40°F or less, and an audible overheat protection alarm watches the compressor and condenser coil so a developing problem announces itself before it costs you a well of product. The case is built for air-conditioned interiors where temperature and humidity stay at or below 80°F and 55 percent, and the air curtain does its job as long as the case stays out of direct sunlight and away from ventilation systems, fans, exterior doors, and windows that would disturb it.

9.7 Cu. Ft. Open Well with 1 Adjustable Stainless Steel Shelf and Canopy LED Lighting

The open front presents 9.7 cubic feet of facing in a low well topped by a single heavy duty stainless steel shelf. The shelf is adjustable by both height and angle, sitting flat for stacked goods or slanted downward at 10° so the front facing tips toward the shopper, and price tag moldings run the shelf edge so labels and pricing live where the customer's eyes already are. Shielded LED bars under the shelves and canopy throw bright, high color light at low heat output, with an on/off switch for hours when the store is dark, and the perforated stainless steel back wall keeps refrigerated air moving evenly through the case instead of just past it.

Bottom Mount Blizzard R290 Cartridge that Swaps without On-Site Brazing

Cooling comes from a bottom mounted, self-contained Blizzard R290 cartridge that is fully detachable and replaceable in the field with no on-site brazing. Unlike a conventional sealed system repair that parks a display case while a tech opens the refrigerant circuit, a cartridge swap puts the case back to selling the same visit. The system runs natural, EPA-compliant R290 refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three. Electronically commutated evaporator fan motors pull the case to temperature quickly on less power, a high performance auto-reverse condenser fan supports compressor ventilation and helps keep the condenser coil clean, and the large capacity condenser and evaporator coils are corrosion resistant. The condensate pan maintains itself with no external drain line or electric heater, and air moves in through the front grille and out the rear, so cases line up side by side without ventilation gaps. The unit arrives pre-wired for 115V service with a NEMA 5-20P plug.

Stainless Steel Interior, Shopping Cart Bumper Belt, and a Retractable Night Curtain

The white exterior carries moisture-resistant panels, and the tempered glass is field replaceable, so a cracked panel is a part order rather than a case replacement. Inside, the heavy duty stainless steel interior takes scrubbing, and floor drains let spill cleanup rinse straight down instead of being mopped out of a corner. A front stainless steel bumper belt absorbs shopping cart impact at exactly the height carts hit, the top, bottom, and rear are galvanized steel, and 2.5 inch high-density polyurethane insulation fills the walls. When the store closes, an integrated retractable night curtain pulls over the open front to save energy overnight and put a barrier between product and after hours traffic. The case rolls on 5 inch swivel casters with locks on the front set, with leg stabilizers included, and Everest supports the line through its service agent network.

If the rolling stance does not suit the site, Everest offers interchangeable legs in place of the casters and a 3 inch overall height caster assembly that drops the case for lower sight lines or tighter height budgets.

Keep the boundaries in mind: this is an open front refrigerator for air-conditioned interiors no warmer than 80°F at 55 percent humidity, and it cannot sit in direct sunlight or near vents, fans, or exterior doors that would break up the air curtain. The open front is the point, unimpeded grab and go speed, but an operation that wants product behind glass in a warmer or draftier spot is better served by Everest's glass door merchandiser lines. Within the family, 9.7 cubic feet suits a one bay grab and go set; the 60 inch, two shelf EOMH-60-W-35-T covers a wider run, the same case in black ships as the EOMH-48-B-35-T, and the short EOMH-48-W-35-S drops the cabinet to 41 inches. Power is simple across the whole horizontal line: a 115V connection through a NEMA 5-20P plug on a 9 foot cord, with no 230V circuit to plan.
