Celcold CEF70 71"W 13.7 cu. ft. Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet

Celcold has operated as a premier proprietary brand of commercial refrigeration under the Celco Inc. umbrella since the parent company’s founding in 1975. Based in Mississauga, Ontario—Celco was established by an equipment technician to provide service-oriented infrastructure for the Canadian foodservice industry. Over 50 years, Celcold has evolved from a boutique refrigeration line into a primary national provider of cold-storage solutions, specifically engineered to withstand the rigorous thermal demands of high-volume commercial kitchens and retail environments.

The brand's technical identity is defined by its focus on environmental sustainability and high-performance component selection. By 2026, most Celcold units utilize R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, a natural gas with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3 and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). A hallmark of their engineering is the use of Embraco compressors and larger fan motors, which facilitate rapid temperature recovery times during peak service periods. Their reach-in and undercounter lines are typically constructed with a full stainless steel exterior and a bright white aluminum interior with coved corners, meeting strict NSF Standard 7 requirements for food safety and ease of sanitation.

Innovation within the Celcold portfolio is categorized into two distinct segments: Celcold Refrigeration and Celcold Essential. The core refrigeration line features high-efficiency condensate hot gas loops for energy-saving evaporation and bottom-mounted compressors that operate in the coolest areas of the kitchen to maximize lifespan. Conversely, the "Essential" line focuses on the retail and impulse-purchase market, specializing in angle-top display freezers and curved-glass novelty cabinets. These units are engineered with sliding glass lids and internal lighting to enhance product visibility while maintaining stable temperatures between -18°C and -22°C for frozen treats and ice cream.

The product range is comprehensive, encompassing:

• Reach-In Units: Single, double, and triple-door configurations with vaulted, self-closing doors that remain open at 90° for easy loading.
• Preparation Tables: Including sandwich, salad, and pizza prep units with insulated covers and heavy-duty poly cutting boards.
• Specialized Equipment: Chef bases, back bar coolers, and undercounter refrigerators designed for low-profile installation.
• Ice Cream Dipping Cabinets: Featuring frost-resistant designs and specialized storage for tubs below the display level.

The strategic value of Celcold lies in its robust Canadian support network and its "service-first" warranty structure. Operating out of a 20,000+ square foot warehouse in Mississauga, Celco ensures rapid deployment of equipment and genuine replacement parts through a nationwide network of 17 market specialists. The brand offers one of the strongest warranties in the Canadian market, typically providing three years of parts and labor coverage and five years on the compressor. This combination of technical reliability and domestic logistical strength makes Celcold a foundational partner for independent restaurants, national franchises, and institutional facilities seeking to minimize their equipment's total lifecycle cost.
