Island-style cake display cabinets refer to display cabinets that are independently placed in the center of the space and can be displayed on all sides. They are mostly used in shopping mall scenes, with a volume of about 3 meters and a generally complex structure.
Why are 3-layer island cake display cabinets expensive?
The price of the three-layer island cake display cabinet is higher, mainly determined by structural design, process, refrigeration system, and brand premium factors. Its materials are composed of glass panels, stainless steel brackets, compressors, and condensers.
Ordinary island display cabinets are not expensive. They use standard materials, craftsmanship, and production to meet the needs of most shopping malls. If they are customized, they will be 1 to 2 times more expensive, depending on the size, craftsmanship, and functionality.
From the design structure, the three-layer design requires 6-9 pieces of custom glass (1 piece at the front and rear of each layer, and some styles also have glass on the side), using ultra-white tempered glass (with a light transmittance of more than 91% and scratch resistance). The cost of a single piece is 2-3 times that of ordinary glass.
Of course, the process complexity is also very high, requiring welding, grinding, seamless splicing and other processes, and the labor cost is 40% higher than that of ordinary cabinets.
In addition, island cabinets require air-cooled and direct-cooled dual systems (such as Danfoss and Skopp compressors) due to heat dissipation on all sides, which is 50% to 80% more expensive than a single system. In addition, high-end models are equipped with electronic thermostats and humidity sensors (accuracy ± 0.5 ° C), which increases the cost by 20%.
If you need multi-functionality, such as intelligent defogging, the price will also be higher. Since multi-layer glass is prone to fogging, a built-in electric heating defogging wire is required (the cost increases by about $100 to $150).
Island cabinets often need to be moved flexibly, equipped with heavy-duty universal wheels (bearing more than 200kg), and the cost of a single wheel exceeds $30.
Why is a customized island cabinet expensive? (It is expensive to open a mold)
Island cabinets are mostly non-standard sizes (commonly 1.2m × 1.2m × 1.8m), and manufacturers need to open molds separately. The mold cost is about 900-1700 US dollars, which is divided into the cost of a single unit. Others are processing costs.
The high price of island-style cake cabinets is due to the complexity of the structure, refrigeration technology, functional configuration, and customization costs. When purchasing, it is necessary to combine store positioning and budget, prioritize the refrigeration system and glass material, and avoid paying a premium for non-essential functions (such as full-color control).
