DC-8D

Overview

The Master-Bilt DC-8D is a commercial ice cream dipping cabinet with room for 19 standard three-gallon tubs: 11 in the serving area and 8 in storage. Its 54-inch-wide top gives operators a place to present flavours for dipping while keeping additional tubs inside the cabinet. Four flip lids divide the top into service zones and allow access to the tubs below.

The DC-8D uses a self-contained, cold-wall refrigeration system. The manufacturer’s stated operating temperature range is -10°F to 10°F, and the system uses R290 refrigerant. The cabinet has a 17.3-cubic-foot capacity, a white painted galvanized steel exterior, a galvanized steel interior and a stainless steel top.

Applications

The DC-8D suits ice cream shops, parlours, restaurants and other commercial foodservice settings that serve scooped ice cream. Its 11-tub dipping area supports a selection of flavours at the point of service, while the additional 8-tub storage capacity keeps more product within the cabinet. The flip-lid layout is suited to service counters where staff need access to multiple tubs during service.

With a 54-inch width, this model provides a sizable serving and storage setup. Before selecting it, compare the listed overall dimensions with the available location, and check that the tub capacity and electrical connection match the requirements of your operation.
