Why Freshness Matters and How Display Cases Play a Role
Food safety is a non-negotiable, but there’s more to freshness than simply keeping items cold. End-users face two major hurdles: inconsistent temperature in the display, especially between front and back shelves, and energy inefficiency that drives operating costs up. Market reports suggest temperature inconsistency and poor cooling contribute to as much as 30% of food waste at retail.
Ojeda’s RDCH-Series addresses these issues with features reps can highlight and end-users will appreciate:
- Curved glass fronts not only ensure elegant, professional display but improve visibility for both customers and staff, making it easier to manage inventory and increase product appeal.
- Low-velocity forced air cooling optimizes airflow for uniform temperature distribution inside the case, helping preserve item quality no matter where they sit on the shelves.
- Energy-efficient R290 refrigerant meets the highest environmental standards, reducing operating costs and aligning with growing consumer preference for sustainable retail operators.
Together, these features reduce spoilage risk, lower waste, and present products in a way that draws customers time and again.
Energy Efficiency: Beyond Cost Savings, Toward Sustainability
Energy expenses are a major concern across multi-unit retailers and single-location delis alike. As the refrigerated display case market explodes toward an estimated $66 billion by 2034, businesses are searching for equipment that both performs and supports sustainability goals.
The RDCH-Series delivers on both fronts by combining:
- Energy-saving R290 systems requiring up to 20% less power than older refrigerant technologies.
- Convertible case technology which allows quick switching between refrigerated and ambient dry modes, so stores cool only what’s needed, enhancing energy efficiency.
- Durable insulation and smart design that support compliance with upcoming eco-friendly standards and provide eligibility for utility rebates, helping dealers ease sales discussions around ROI and regulatory compliance.
Real-World Flexibility for Modern Merchandising
Customer tastes evolve quickly. From traditional deli platters to specialty cheeses, prepared meals, and quick-grab snacks – the ability to quickly adapt manner of display is essential. Static display cases limit product offerings and reduce merchandising agility.
Here, Ojeda’s RDCH-Series stands apart through:
- Flip-of-a-switch transformation between refrigerated and ambient dry case modes—giving operators the freedom to adjust for seasonal or category shifts instantly.
- An integrated 5-amp power receptacle on the back, allowing easy connection of scales, grinders, or other electrical tools, streamlining deli operations and reducing countertop clutter.
- A universal 120V plug-and-play power setup across the line, ensuring fast, low-hassle installation for end-users and easier selling for reps.
- Customizable and modular designs that fit a wide range of layouts and store sizes, supporting diverse client needs in supermarkets, specialty retail, and foodservice.
The Bottom Line: Safety, Efficiency, Versatility, and a Better Retail Experience
By choosing the right deli display case, food retailers and operators see measurable results:
- Up to 30% reduction in food waste through consistent, reliable temperature protection.
