A Self-Serve Centrepiece for Your Floor
The Omcan 48573 is a 73" refrigerated island showcase with an open top that invites customers to reach in and help themselves. Designed to stand in a central location, it puts grab-and-go desserts, sandwiches, salads, bottled drinks and specialty items on display from every side of the aisle. The 73" model creates a substantial central island for grocery, deli and hotel markets.
Glass on Four Sides with an Open Top
Layers of clear glass enclose all four sides while the top stays open, giving shoppers an unobstructed view and easy access from any direction. The black exterior and slim frame create a luxurious, modern look that adds value to the products inside and draws attention across the store.
Precise Temperature for Fresh Product
A digital temperature controller and display hold the case between 2°C and 10°C (35.6°F and 50°F), keeping cakes, pastries and prepared foods fresh and ready to sell. A ventilated cooling system distributes cold air evenly across the 8.6 cu. ft. (243 L) display, and automatic defrost keeps it running at peak performance.
Brilliant LED Illumination
Internal LED lighting brightens the entire display, making colours look vibrant and helping your products stand out from across the room. Quiet operation means the island can sit in the middle of the floor without disturbing customers.
Ideal for Grab-and-Go Programs
Use the island to feature packaged salads, sandwiches, parfaits, cut fruit and desserts near the entrance or checkout. Because customers serve themselves, staff spend less time behind the counter and more time restocking, and featured products get seen by every shopper who walks by.
Efficient and Easy to Move
Drawing just 540W on a standard 110-120V circuit, the 48573 uses eco-friendly R290 refrigerant for efficient, low-cost operation. Casters let you reposition the island for seasonal promotions or cleaning. It is cETLus and ETL Sanitation certified and covered by 2 years parts and labour plus 5 years compressor warranty.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from operators.
What is an island refrigerated display case used for?
An island case stands on its own in the middle of a store so customers can shop it from every side. The open top on the Omcan 48573 makes it ideal for self-serve grab-and-go items like desserts, sandwiches, salads and bottled drinks, and it is often used to feature promotional or high-margin products.
Does an open top case keep food cold?
Yes. Cold air is heavier than warm air, so it settles in the well of the case, and the ventilated cooling system keeps it circulating evenly. The 48573 holds 2°C to 10°C (35.6°F to 50°F). For best results, place it away from heat sources, direct sunlight and strong air vents, and keep products below the load line.
What sizes is this island showcase available in?
The series comes in 37 1/2" (48570), 50" (48571), 61" (48572), 73" (48573) and 85" (48604) widths, all 37 1/2" deep with the same features. The 48573 is the 73" model with 8.6 cu. ft. (243 L) of capacity.
