How Commercial Meat Display Counters Work

Ever wondered how these clever counters keep your meat looking fresh all day? The magic happens through powerful refrigeration systems that maintain a consistent temperature between 0-5°C—perfect for preserving meat without freezing it. Cold air circulates around the display area, with many models using a 'cold air curtain' that flows across the open front, creating an invisible barrier between ambient room temperature and the chilled display. Curved or straight glass panels provide clear visibility while containing the cold air, and LED lighting enhances product appearance without generating heat. Most units feature separate refrigerated storage underneath—brilliant for restocking during busy periods without disrupting display temperature!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Meat Display Counters

Always pre-chill your counter for at least 30 minutes before loading with product, and arrange meats with darker cuts at the back and lighter items at the front for maximum visual impact. Clean thoroughly daily with food-safe sanitiser, and don't overload displays—air circulation is crucial for temperature consistency. Consider using butcher paper or meat trays to separate different products, and rotate stock regularly, bringing older items to the front while maintaining an abundant appearance.
