Commercial Gelato Display Cases for Professional Kitchens

Gelato display cases are not the same as standard frozen food cabinets. Gelato must be held at a warmer temperature than hard-pack ice cream (−10 to −14°C versus −18°C) to maintain its characteristic soft, scoopable texture and vibrant colour. Dedicated gelato showcases use precision refrigeration to hold product within this narrow temperature band while angled glass fronts, curved display pans, and internal lighting maximise visual appeal and customer engagement. Key specifications to evaluate include the number of flavour pans (which determines range breadth), showcase width and pan dimensions, operating temperature range, refrigerant type (R290 for energy efficiency and low environmental impact), compressor type, and whether the unit has automatic or manual defrost.

Our Gelato Display Case Range

Atlantic Equipment supplies gelato display cases from Bonvue, Thermaster, Frigomat, and Everlasting. The Bonvue range includes the compact benchtop CGD-03B showcase and floor-standing SGD-12, SGD-18, and SGD-24 models in standard and black (B) finishes, all running on R290 refrigerant with hermetic compressors. Thermaster gelato displays are available in 325L, 415L, and 575L capacities for larger gelaterias. Frigomat's GX series combines gelato production and display in all-in-one units with 2 to 8 freezing pots (air or water cooled), while the Everlasting GEL2000 is a dedicated gelato storage freezer for back-of-house holding.

Gelato Display Cases FAQs

What gelato display cases do you stock?

We stock Bonvue SGD-series floor-standing gelato showcases (12-pan and 18-pan models, in standard and black finish), the Bonvue CGD-03B benchtop showcase, Thermaster gelato displays in 325L, 415L, and 575L, Frigomat GX all-in-one production-and-display units (2–8 freezing pots), and the Everlasting GEL2000 storage freezer for back-of-house gelato holding.

What should I look for when buying a commercial gelato display case?

Key factors are the number of flavour pans (determines how many flavours you can display), operating temperature range (−10 to −14°C for gelato), showcase width and pan dimensions, refrigerant type (R290 is environmentally preferred), glass angle and lighting quality for visual appeal, defrost system, and power consumption. Match showcase size to your floor space and flavour range — a 12-pan unit suits a focused menu; 18+ pans works for a full gelateria.

Which brands of gelato display cases do you carry?

We stock Bonvue (China, distributed by F.E.D, 2-year parts and labour warranty), Thermaster (F.E.D range, popular in Australian gelaterias), Frigomat (Italy, specialist gelato production equipment), and Everlasting for back-of-house storage. All brands are selected for build quality, temperature stability, and suitability for the Australian climate and power standards.

Do you deliver gelato display cases Australia-wide?

Yes, we deliver nationwide. Floor-standing gelato display cases are large freight items delivered via specialist carriers including CFS, Northline, and PFM. Metro areas qualify for free or subsidised kerbside delivery on many models. Large display cases require a pallet jack or forklift for final positioning. Contact us before ordering to confirm site access and delivery requirements.

What is the correct serving temperature for gelato in a display case?

Gelato is typically served from display cases set to −10°C to −14°C, depending on the recipe and desired texture. This is significantly warmer than hard-pack ice cream (−18°C) and is what gives gelato its characteristic soft, creamy texture at point of service. Standard supermarket freezers or ice cream display cabinets are not designed to hold gelato at this warmer temperature, which is why dedicated gelato showcases are essential for product quality.
