What is the difference between 5 cake cabinets?

Cake cabinets play an important role in daily bakeries. There are five common types of styles: island, table, table under, barrel and refrigeration. The first four are mainly divided according to their uses, and the last one is a functional difference. Let's take a closer look.

Functionally, the island, countertop and barrel cake display cabinets all have refrigeration function, usually 2-8℃, mainly by air cooling system. The advantage of this is that there is no fog and frost, and the refrigeration effect is fast and good, which can solve the problem of temperature drop caused by frequent opening of doors.

In terms of use, different styles of cake cabinets are different in different scenarios. In order to maximize their effect, it is best to choose the right style, which is to say, no waste and accurate positioning.

For instance, island-style cabinets are bulky. If their full capacity isn't utilized, they waste space and take up considerable area in small bakeries. What's the optimal solution? When budgets allow, customizing cabinets to specific dimensions ensures efficient space utilization and enhanced user experience. For tighter budgets, arranging multiple floor-level cake cabinets offers better cost-effectiveness. Display cabinets positioned strategically under workstations provide flexibility – whether adjusting quantities or repositioning items, these floor-mounted units allow seamless modifications.

The platform display cabinet is relatively different from the counter display cabinet. It is placed under the counter. Its important differences are large volume, rich functions, good display effect and wide range of scenes. It is generally used in coffee shops, bakeries and small supermarkets.

Tabletop display cabinets, also known as cake display units, are designed for compact placement on countertops. Their small size and lightweight construction make them ideal for showcasing specialty cakes and other food items in limited quantities, delivering optimal presentation results. These units often feature refrigeration capabilities. For example, the COOLAMA tabletop series includes models like T90A, T90C, M430, and MB600, all utilizing R134a refrigerant. After 200 merchants tested these units in 2024,80% of user reviews praised their exceptional performance.

Additionally, cylindrical cabinets can also be used for cake storage. The main difference lies in their cylindrical design, which allows 360-degree visual inspection of the interior. Functionally, they offer refrigeration capacity of 2-8°C and adjustable shelf heights from 4 to 6 layers. The bottom features rubber casters, and the cylindrical glass cabinet is also a floor-standing model (see R105 model). Another variant, the T218 series, adopts a vertical square structure with angular display cabinets, also belonging to the cylindrical series but in white color and design.

The above are the differences of the five common commercial display cabinets, their main function is refrigeration and display, not only suitable for cakes but also other refrigerated food.
