Excellence Refrigeration Ice Cream & Gelato Freezers in Toronto & Canada

Excellence Industries has built commercial coolers and freezers for 70 years in Plant City, Florida, with production of more than one million units a year and customers like Nestlé, Ben & Jerry's, and Whole Foods. Why choose Excellence over a dipping cabinet brand like Master-Bilt? Excellence has more than 50 years of experience with self contained refrigeration, and covers everything an ice cream shop needs, from flip top and gelato dipping freezers to display and storage chest freezers. Excellence freezers come with a 1 year parts and labour warranty plus 5 years on the compressor part, handled by Excellence. One standout is the Excellence UCS-41HC Solid Door 42-Inch Storage Chest Freezer. It reaches minus 45°C and has 4 inch thick insulation, an acoustic alarm, and a lockable door. We also carry the Excellence HFF-8HC Flip Top Ice Cream Dipping Freezer, which holds 19 three gallon tubs under 4 stainless steel flip lids, plus gelato dipping freezers like the Excellence HBG-7HC 44-Inch Gelato Dipping Freezer. Excellence freezers are typically special order with an estimated lead time of 1-2 weeks. Phoenix Food Equipment ships Excellence from Vaughan across Toronto, the GTA, and the rest of Canada and the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What is the warranty on Excellence Refrigeration products?

Excellence handles its own warranty. Every Excellence freezer we carry comes with a 1 year parts and labour warranty plus 5 years on the compressor. After the first year, the compressor coverage is for the part only, so the labour to replace it isn't included. We can assist with any brand that isn't in-house, so if you have any questions, or your freezer arrives defective, damaged, or not what you ordered, contact us at sales@phoenixfe.ca or 1-833-669-8003.

What's the difference between a flip top and a glass display ice cream dipping freezer?

A flip top model like the Excellence HFF series has a stainless steel top with flip lids and holds anywhere from 4 to 33 three gallon tubs, so it's great behind the counter. A glass display model like the HBD or HBG series shows off your flavours under LED lighting, with sliding glass doors and a sneeze guard. The HBD models also store extra tubs below, like the HBD-8HC, which displays 8 tubs and stores 6 more.

Is Excellence a good brand for ice cream freezers?

Yes. Excellence has 70 years of experience building coolers and freezers, produces more than one million units a year, and supplies names like Nestlé, Ben & Jerry's, and Whole Foods. Most models we carry use R290 refrigerant, and all are ETL or UL certified. We carry Excellence flip top and glass display ice cream dipping freezers, gelato dipping freezers, display chest freezers, and ultra low temperature storage chest freezers.
