Question 1

What refrigeration equipment does a grocery store need in Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

At minimum: upright display refrigerators for dairy and beverages, a chest freezer for frozen goods, and a reach-in cooler for the back. Deli counters need a refrigerated display case for cheeses and cold cuts. Larger stores add supermarket-type freezers, multi-deck open refrigerators, and walk-in cold rooms. In Lebanon's hot climate, choose energy-efficient models — they run 24/7 and electricity costs add up fast.

Question 2

How do I set up a deli counter in my grocery store?

Accepted Answer

You'll need: a refrigerated display counter (curved or straight glass), a meat and cheese slicer (35 cm for handling large items like mortadella), a vacuum sealer for pre-packed items, a digital scale, and a wrapping machine. Behind the counter, install an undercounter refrigerator for backup stock. IPEC supplies the complete package — from the display case to the slicer to the stainless steel counter.

Question 3

What's the most energy-efficient way to refrigerate a grocery store?

Accepted Answer

Use chest freezers instead of uprights where possible — they lose less cold air when opened. Install strip curtains on walk-in coolers. Choose display refrigerators with LED lighting (uses 80% less energy than fluorescent). Keep condenser coils clean (dirty coils increase energy use by 25%). In Lebanon, where generator fuel is expensive, energy efficiency directly impacts your bottom line.
