Since 1906, Hussmann has provided innovative products, services and solutions for preserving and merchandising fresh foods. It is recognised throughout the world as a leader in manufacturing, selling, installing, and servicing display equipment and refrigeration systems for customers in the retail food industry. It also provides a variety of services to help food retailers become more efficient and effective. Hussmann serves several key markets, including supermarkets, mass merchants, convenience stores, drug stores, dollar and discount stores, and foodservice operations.
In Oct 2018, Hussmann unveiled a new refrigeration system that is charged with environmentally safe propane (R290). MicroDS-equipped merchandisers are water-cooled, self-contained, hermetically sealed and are charged with up to 150 grams or just 5.3 ounces of propane — slightly more than a half-cup.
The new line is available for low and medium temperature merchandisers, the kind consumers would commonly see inside the 236,000 grocery, supercenter, dollar, convenience and drug stores throughout North America to refrigerate perishable foods, such as meat, produce and dairy products.
The water-cooled microDS Monoblock was featured at the FMI Energy and Store Development Conference.
Embraco’s R290 variable-speed compressor has reduced freezer energy consumption in Hussmann freezers by up to 29% and temperature variation by up to 35%, compared to fixed-speed compressors.
