Fukushima Galilei Launches Vertical Ice Cream Freezer Using Non-Freon Refrigerant

Fukushima Galilei Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka; President: Go Fukushima) will launch a new 'Vertical Ice Cream Freezer' that achieves optimal temperature control for preserving ice cream quality. This product realizes strict temperature control below -27°C to prevent recrystallization and maintain flavor, while adopting non-freon refrigerant R1234yf with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), combining excellent environmental performance with the high quality control demanded by professionals. GRD-186CDX (Representative Model) 【Main Features】 〇 Optimal Quality Control for Ice Cream It has a cooling performance down to -30°C under no-load conditions, and even with a 20% load of the internal volume, it maintains the ice cream core temperature below -27°C during cooling and below -23°C during defrosting. This allows for high-quality storage without compromising the flavor or texture of the ice cream. *Test conditions: Outside air 30°C, humidity 60%, no door opening/closing. 〇 Adoption of Environmentally Friendly Non-Freon Refrigerant R1234yf It adopts non-freon refrigerant R1234yf (GWP: 1), which has an extremely low Global Warming Potential (GWP). As part of the Galilei Group's sustainable vision 'Dramatic Future 2050' and its 'Transition to Green Refrigerants,' the company is advancing its refrigerant conversion. R1234yf is not subject to the Fluorocarbons Recovery and Destruction Law, so there are no obligations for equipment management such as inspections and records. *GWP values are cited from the 2023 Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Ministry of the Environment Notification No. 3 and the 2015 Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Notification No. 54. 〇 10-Year Refrigerant Leak Warranty It includes a '10-Year Refrigerant Leak Warranty' that covers repairs for cooling failures due to refrigerant gas leaks for 10 years. 〇 Lineup (3 Models) •GRD-186CDX (Three-phase 200V, effective internal volume 1,661L) •GRD-124CDX (Three-phase 200V, effective internal volume 1,082L) •GRD-082CX (Single-phase 100V, effective internal volume 635L) 【Main Target】 Supermarkets, convenience stores, hotels, restaurants, ice cream specialty shops, etc. 【Release Date】On sale from June 10, 2026 (Wednesday). 【Target Volume】Annual sales target of 500 units.
