Which ActiveCore freezer fits
SKOPE lists 17 upright glass door display freezers, all from its ActiveCore family. Every one stands 2,210 mm tall and 745 mm deep, so the choice comes down to width, door count and how much frozen stock you need on show.
- One door, 740 mm wide, 558 L. For a cafe, deli or service station adding a frozen line.
- Two doors, 1,130 mm wide, 897 L. Suits a convenience store or takeaway.
- Two doors, 1,480 mm wide, 1,202 L. The SKFT1300N models spread two doors across a wider cabinet, giving more shelf width per door.
- Three doors, 1,705 mm wide, 1,399 L. For a grocer or small supermarket.
The SKFT codes come in all four sizes and the TMF codes in three (there is no 1,480 mm TMF). SKOPE gives matching SKFT and TMF sizes the same capacity, dimensions and energy figures, so ask Sam which suits your fit-out. Each size comes plain or as an AC version with a lit sign across the top. All 14 hold -21 °C to -18 °C, and SKOPE describes them as display or storage freezers.
Ice cream freezers
Three TMF models are set up for ice cream: the TMF650N-Ice (610 L), TMF1000N-Ice (980 L) and TMF1500N-Ice (1,396 L). SKOPE lists them at -12 °C to -9 °C, much warmer than the standard models. Tell Sam exactly what will go in before you choose one: packaged ice cream and frozen desserts held for weeks are normally kept at -18 °C or colder, so the setting has to suit the product and how quickly it sells.
What to check before you buy
Height and the way in. At 2,210 mm tall, check bulkheads and signs. Measure the doorway, corridor and any tight corner between the loading bay and the final spot.
Heat around the cabinet. Beside a west facing shopfront window, or in a storeroom with no air conditioning during a Perth heatwave, it runs longer and frosts up faster. Leave clear air space around the cabinet and keep boxes off the top so it can shed heat.
Running costs. SKOPE lists daily energy use from 10.47 kWh on the plain one door model to 31.35 kWh on the three door with a lit sign. The sign itself adds only 0.11 to 0.23 kWh a day. Per litre, the 897 L two door is the most economical in the range, and the three door uses close to three times the power of the one door while holding about two and a half times as much.
Power. Give the freezer its own outlet rather than a power board shared with a drinks fridge or a coffee machine, and ask Sam to confirm the plug and circuit for the model you pick.
Capacity against turnover. Size it for the stock you sell between deliveries, not the most you could ever order.
Supplied and installed by Sam
Sam delivers the freezer, moves it into place, levels it so the doors swing and seal properly, checks the clearances and switches it on. He waits until it has pulled down to temperature before you load stock. If an old freezer is coming out, ask Sam about removing it. If you would rather handle it yourself, the unit can also be sent by courier.
Servicing and repairs
Sam services and repairs ActiveCore freezers, from doors that will not seal to cabinets that frost up or will not hold temperature. Attending costs $75 + GST, then $180 + GST an hour plus parts, and he gives you a fixed price for the repair before he starts. See commercial freezer repairs, scheduled maintenance or all SKOPE refrigeration.
