Migali C-1FG-HC 28 In. 1 Door Glass Door Reach-In Freezer, 21.4 Cu Ft, R290 Refrigerant

SKUC-1FG-HC BrandMigali

The Migali C-1FG-HC Glass Door Reach-In Freezer

The Migali C-1FG-HC is a 28-inch glass door reach-in freezer sized for ice cream parlors, convenience stores, c-store hot-food merchandising, and any operation that wants customers or staff to see frozen product without opening the door. The 21.4 cu ft cabinet runs at -10°F to 0°F under forced air across 3 adjustable stainless shelves, and the LED interior lighting brightens the merchandise without adding the heat load that fluorescent strips put on the cabinet's BTU calculation. Door locks are standard, so the unit doubles as inventory storage when the operation isn't actively merchandising.

Top-Mount Compressor and Forced-Air Plenum

The top-mount compressor pulls heat exhaust upward and away from product, which is the right configuration for grocery and c-store layouts where the floor in front of the unit is high-traffic and a bottom-mount exhaust would blow warm air at customers' feet. An air plenum runs across the back wall to distribute cold evenly from top to bottom of the cabinet, so a half-gallon of ice cream on the bottom shelf stays as cold as one on the eye-level shelf. R290 natural hydrocarbon refrigerant meets DOE 2017 commercial refrigeration efficiency rules. Energy consumption on this model is 3.7 kWh per 24 hours.

Glass Doors with Locks and Pressure-Relief Valve

A double-pane tempered glass door with full vertical view let the customer see what's inside without breaking the cold chain. Door locks are standard so the unit doubles as overnight storage. The 90-degree hold-open feature lets staff prop the door wide for restocking bulk product without holding it manually. An air pressure relief valve in the door frame equalizes interior pressure after the door closes. Without it, the suction created by frost-cold air contracting can lock the door shut and force staff to wait for pressure to equalize before they can re-open.

Recessed Handles and Pre-Installed Casters

Recessed door handles keep the cabinet flush with adjacent units in a multi-door run, so you don't lose floor space to protruding handles. Pre-installed casters let you roll the unit into a placement and lock it level. 3 adjustable stainless shelves let you reconfigure the box for tall items like party-size ice cream tubs or short items like single-serve cups. All-stainless interior with rounded corners wipes clean.

    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.
