MCF8701

Overview

The Atosa MCF8701 is a single-section, glass-door merchandiser freezer for commercial kitchens and food-service spaces that need frozen storage with visible contents. Its 19.1 cu. ft. interior offers upright storage, while the glass swing door and LED interior lighting let staff see products without opening the cabinet. The unit is 27 inches wide and has a bottom-mounted compressor.

The freezer uses a self-contained, air-cooled refrigeration system and a Dixell digital temperature controller to maintain a stated operating range of -8°F to 0°F (-22.22°C to -17.78°C). Stainless steel construction inside and out gives the cabinet a wipe-clean finish, and the bottom-mounted compressor is noted as suitable for hotter areas in busy kitchens.

Key Features

Freezer performance

A heavy-duty Embraco compressor powers the refrigeration system. The manufacturer identifies R290 refrigerant for this model. The system is self-contained and air-cooled, and the Dixell digital temperature controller manages the freezer’s stated temperature range. The product information describes the refrigeration system as energy efficient and reports that the Embraco compressor can reduce noise and vibration and save up to 40% more energy compared with other types.

Visible, organized storage

The cabinet provides 19.1 cu. ft. of capacity and comes with four epoxy-coated wire shelves. The coating is intended to help resist rust and corrosion in moist environments, and each shelf has a stated load capacity of up to 155 lb. The glass door and interior LED lights provide a view of stored products, useful for staff selecting stock and for merchandising frozen items.

Door and cabinet details

The single swing-style door is self-closing when left open at an angle under 90°. If opened beyond 90°, it stays open to make loading easier. A recessed handle keeps the door front uncluttered, and a standard stainless steel door lock can limit access to stored food and drinks. Flexible magnetic door gaskets help maintain the interior temperature and keep dust and debris out; the product information describes these gaskets as NSF approved.

The interior and exterior are stainless steel, which the product listing describes as easy to clean and maintain. Four pre-installed 4-inch swivel casters support moving the cabinet, and two casters have brakes for added control when the unit is positioned.

The self-closing feature brings the door closed when it is left open under 90°; at openings greater than 90°, the door stays open to assist with loading. The recessed handle provides access, and the door lock can be used when access to contents needs to be limited.
