Invention relates to a smart refrigerator for storing and distributing pharmaceutical products, consisting of a refrigeration device connected to a power source equipped with a casing and at least one shelf, at least one container for storing pharmaceutical products placed on at least one shelf, temperature sensors and a control unit with access to a computer network, characterised in that the container (5) for storing pharmaceutical products is essentially a cuboid equipped with a lid (3) coupled to an opening sensor (4) of the lid (3), and a weighing device integrated into a base of the container (5) and consisting of a weighing tray (1) and a strain gauge measuring system (2), the weighing device being connected to the control unit, consisting of a processor or programmable logic matrix connected to the relay device; the control unit comprises a memory and a set of algorithms managing the status of the refrigerator and an integrated notification and alarm system, while a control panel containing an interface and means for user verification connected to the lock mechanism and to the control unit is mounted in a refrigerator door.

A pan chiller system includes a pan chiller unit having a food well, with a plurality of hollow divider rails arranged within the food well to define at least one opening to receive one or more food pans to be cooled, where the plurality of divider rails define a first rail flow path and a second rail flow path. A chilled liquid coolant system chills liquid coolant and moves the chilled liquid coolant into both the first rail flow path and the second rail flow path. A control arrangement is configured for controlling chilled liquid coolant flow such that a first temperature condition maintained in the first rail flow path is different than a second temperature condition maintained in the second rail flow path.

A refrigerated display case (1) with at least one unit composed of a plurality of wall groups, namely a bottom group (11), a rear wall group (12), and a top group (13), which delimit a refrigerated chamber (4) at the bottom, at the back, and at the top, and with a cooling device (5) that has a refrigerant circuit and whose components at least include a compressor (51), an evaporator (50), a condenser (52), and an electric control unit (55). A refrigerated display case that is climate-friendly, efficient, and simultaneously safe to operate is achieved in that propane is contained as a refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit, with a filling capacity of more than 150 g.

A food service system and method for dispensing contents, display the contents within a matrix of food pans suspended within a well member of the food service system. Each food pan is provided with a brim having an upper area extending transverse with respect to a stop element that establishes a dam enabling the contents of the food pan to spread over the corresponding upper area, while confined by the dam at the stop element. Corresponding stop elements of adjacent food pans are placed contiguous with one-another. In this manner, a display and dispensing area of the contents of each food pan is expanded to extend over the upper area of the brim of that food pan and is in close proximity with the display and dispensing area of adjacent food pans so as to enhance the display of the contents to be dispensed at the matrix of food pans within the food service system.

The present application provides a shelf assembly for a display case. The shelf assembly may include a shelf, a pair of shelf brackets with a shelf bracket pocket, and a support rail with a pair of tabs. The support rail extends between the pair of shelf brackets and the tabs of the support rail fit with the shelf bracket pockets of the pair of shelf brackets.

A pusher tray assembly comprises a hanging tray and a sliding tray having a wire track, the sliding tray moveably connected to the hanging tray by fins of a pusher, the pusher slidingly engaged to the wire track for movement between a first position and a second position.

The present invention relates to an open fronted food storage cabinet. The cabinet has a top, rear, base and opposed sides. The top, rear, base and opposing sides define an interior space of the cabinet which is accessible through an opening to the front of the cabinet. The opening is defined between edges of the top, base and opposing sides of the cabinet. The cabinet includes an interior chassis structure comprised of a base panel, a rear panel and a top panel which are mechanically connected to one another. The base, rear and top panels are each formed from a structural sandwich composite material having thermal insulation properties. The rear panel includes an aperture to which a mechanism operable to alter the temperature within interior space of the cabinet is mounted.

A dispenser (1) for dispensing elongate beverage containers (2) having: a housing (3) with a cylindrical housing part (4), a rear-side insertion opening (12) for inserting beverage containers (2) and a front-side removal element (6), open at the top, for removing the frontmost beverage container (2); a guide channel (10) with a sliding surface (11) sloping downwards towards the front for conveying the upright beverage containers (2) from the rear-side receiving opening (12) into the front-side removal element (6); a chiller device (9) for chilling the beverage containers (2); a clamping device (34) for clamping in place an edge region (35) of an advertising film (33) on the exterior of the cylindrical housing part (4), the clamping device (34) having, on a long side of the cylindrical housing part (4), a clamping strip (36) comprising at least one ventilation opening (37) for dissipating heated air from the chiller device (9) to the surroundings.
