Everest EOMH-72-B-35-T 73 In. Horizontal Open Air Merchandiser, 15.2 Cu. Ft., 2 Adjustable Stainless Steel Shelves, Black Exterior, Bottom Mount Blizzard R290

SKUEOMH-72-B-35-T BrandEverest Refrigeration

The Everest Refrigeration EOMH-72-B-35-T Open Air Merchandiser

The Everest EOMH-72-B-35-T is the widest case in Everest's horizontal open air merchandiser line in black, a 73 1/4 inch run that anchors a full grab and go program at a 46 inch cabinet height for stores that want department-scale facing finished in black. An air curtain stands in for doors, so 15.2 cubic feet of drinks, dairy, and prepared food sells in one motion across the open well and two adjustable shelves while the 35°F factory preset keeps the combined average product temperature at 40°F or less. Twin 1/2 HP compressors split the load behind the bottom grille, and front air intake with rear air discharge lets the cabinet anchor a lineup without side clearance gaps.

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.

15.2 Cu. Ft. Open Well with 2 Adjustable Stainless Steel Shelves and Canopy LED Lighting

The open front presents 15.2 cubic feet of facing in a low well topped by two heavy duty stainless steel shelves. Each 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 two bottom mounted, self-contained Blizzard R290 cartridges, each 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 black 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. At 15.2 cubic feet this is the biggest horizontal in the line; the 60 inch EOMH-60-B-35-T covers moderate programs at 12.3 cubic feet, the same case in white ships as the EOMH-72-W-35-T, and an operation that needs more volume per foot of floor is better served by Everest's vertical open air merchandisers, which stack the same footprint to a full-height display wall. 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.

    The Everest Refrigeration EOMH-72-B-35-T Open Air Merchandiser

    About Open Air Merchandisers

    A commercial open air merchandiser is a refrigerated display case with no doors. A downward air curtain keeps the case cold while leaving the contents fully exposed for grab and go service. Open air units move product faster than glass-door coolers because customers can take items without opening anything. Convenience stores, delis, sandwich shops, grocery produce sections, and cafeteria lines use these units to display packaged drinks, sandwiches, salads, fruit, and dairy at the speed of a self-serve cooler.

    The right commercial open air merchandiser depends on display format and floor space. Horizontal units sit at counter height with product on top-loading shelves. Vertical units stand 5 to 7 feet tall with multiple shelves visible across the front. Island units are double-sided for center-of-floor placement in large stores.

    Every open air merchandiser in this collection is electric and built for daily commercial use. Common configurations, buying guidance, and the questions buyers ask most often follow below.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Horizontal open air merchandiser: Counter-height format with product loaded from the top. The most common style of grab and go merchandiser for sandwich and beverage display. Widths from 28 to 80 inches.
    • Vertical open air merchandiser: Standing format with 3 to 5 shelves visible across the front. Built as an open air cooler for convenience store beverage walls, dairy cases, and high-volume grab and go service.
    • Island open air merchandiser: Double-sided unit for placement in the middle of a sales floor. Customers shop both sides of the case. Used in supermarkets, large delis, and produce departments.
    • Open air curtain merchandiser: Standard term for these units in foodservice. The downward air curtain is the cooling mechanism that keeps product cold without doors blocking access.
    • Width options: 28, 36, 46, 60, 72, and 80 inches across the catalog. Pick the width that fits the available run on your line or aisle.
    • Black or stainless steel exterior: Match the store interior or kitchen finish. Black is common for grocery aisles; stainless for foodservice operations.
    • LED interior lighting: Standard on most modern open air merchandisers. Highlights packaging and labels for browse-and-grab purchasing.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Available floor or counter space: Measure the run before ordering. Horizontal units fit on a 28 to 80 inch counter; vertical and island units need dedicated floor space plus clearance for restocking from the rear.
    • Product type and packaging: Bottled drinks, sandwiches, salads, packaged produce, and dairy all work in open air merchandisers. Loose or unpackaged items need a different format with doors or a sneeze guard.
    • Daily volume: Open air units are built for steady traffic. Match shelf depth and overall capacity to your peak-day inventory turn.
    • Air curtain performance: Higher-quality units maintain colder, tighter air curtains. This matters in hot or drafty store environments where ambient air can warm the product.
    • Voltage: Most commercial open air merchandisers run on 115V single-phase. Larger vertical and island units may need 208V or 230V service. Check the spec sheet before ordering.
    • Refrigerant type: Newer units use R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant for energy efficiency and updated EPA compliance. Older R134a units are still on the market but check local code requirements.
    • Self-contained vs remote condenser: Self-contained is simpler to install and most common. Remote condensers move heat outside the store but require refrigeration line installation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does an open air merchandiser keep product cold without doors?

    An open air merchandiser uses a downward air curtain. Cold air flows from a vent at the top of the case, falls across the open front, and returns through a vent at the bottom. The moving air column creates an invisible barrier that holds cold air inside the case while leaving the product fully accessible to customers. The unit works best in stable indoor environments without strong drafts or direct sunlight.

    What is the difference between an open air merchandiser and a glass door merchandiser?

    An open air merchandiser has no doors and uses an air curtain to hold cold air in the case. Customers grab product directly without opening anything. A glass door merchandiser has hinged or sliding glass doors and works like a standard refrigerator. Open air units sell more product per visit because of zero friction at the case but use more energy because they cannot fully seal cold air in. Glass door units use less energy but slow down high-volume grab and go service.

    What kinds of stores and operations use open air merchandisers?

    Convenience stores use them for cold drinks and grab and go food. Grocery stores use them for packaged produce, dairy, and prepared meals. Delis and sandwich shops use them for ready-made sandwiches and salads. Cafeterias and food halls use them for self-serve meals and beverages. Anywhere customers self-serve cold packaged product, an open air merchandiser fits the format.
