Section 1 – Model Overview & Specifications:
Model HCMF Series – High Capacity Meat Freezers
The HCMF is a compact, custom freezer designed for short-term grill-side storage of frozen
hamburger patties and secondary grilled product, providing quick and easy access at point-of-use.
Designed to be positioned immediately adjacent to the Grill Station, the HCMF is available in two
sizes, 18-inches wide and 30-inches wide, with a front case-loading door and an insulated, automatic
roll-back top lid that provides quick access, with minimum exposure of frozen product.
Unlike previous grill-side freezers (GSF & FRGSF), HCMF Models have a top mounted condenser
package that provides easy access for regular PM and service access from five sides. HCMF Models
are more energy efficient, provide more storage space, cost less to operate and have the following
specifications and utility requirements:
