The new Reveal™ Merchandiser cooler incorporates the legendary quality, sleek design, and exceptional facings and packout for which Zero Zone is known, but in a package without glass doors.

Press Release
North Prairie, WI – March 3, 2016—Zero Zone, Inc. is pleased to introduce the Edge XT Distributed System, an outdoor version of our well-known Edge Distributed System line.
Distributed refrigeration systems are used by small retail format stores that do not require a large refrigeration rack to cool the small number of refrigerated display cases and walk-ins in their facilities. Distributed systems are also very popular with larger supermarket chains, who prefer several smaller distributed systems rather than pumping all the refrigerant through one or two
very large systems. The decreased refrigerant charge of smaller distributed systems minimizes environmental impact for the retailer.
Carl Petersen, Marketing & Advertising Manager for Zero Zone, noted, “Since its introduction in 2008, the indoor Edge™ Distributed System has been a go-to work horse for food retailers who wanted to have the convenience of a compact refrigeration system located in a back room of their stores. We now give them that same option, but for placement outdoors, either on the roof or on a concrete pad behind the store.”
Available with either scroll or reciprocating compressors, the Edge™ XT can be used to help optimize operating efficiency and conserve space within the store. Durable hinged doors allow for easy access and help protect the equipment. A weather-tight control panel and a sturdy galvanized exterior ensure that the Edge™ XT will deliver many years of reliable service.
The Edge™ XT also features integrated condenser coils, available in either micro-channel or ‘fin & tube’ varieties. Easy access top-mount fans are available with single speed or variable speed ECM motors.

North Prairie, WI – March 27, 2014—The Zero Zone Crystal™ Merchandiser line of medium-temp reach-ins has now been expanded to include the new Crystal™ Merchandiser freezer.
Carl Petersen, Marketing & Advertising Manager for Zero Zone, noted, “With the proliferation of the medium-temp Crystal™ Merchandiser cases, customers have been asking ‘when can we see a low-temp version of this versatile display case?’.
I’m pleased to announce that the answer to that question is ‘now’. The new Crystal™ Merchandiser freezer includes the legendary open appearance and the exceptional facings and packout of the original, but now offers those benefits for the display of frozen food and ice cream.”
Energy efficiency has been a hallmark of Zero Zone engineering efforts since its founding over a half-century ago. The new Crystal™ Merchandiser freezer was designed with that same commitment. The 30-inch by 74-inch doors on the new case allow a panoramic view of the products displayed.
The meat department manager at a Midwest supermarket commented: “I look forward to gaining better energy savings with these new cases.” He already uses the medium-temp Crystal™ Merchandiser for the display of all his fresh meat products, and after adding the low-temp Crystal™ Merchandiser lineup, he said he really appreciated “having a more uniform look to my meat department.” He continued, “I gained one shelf all the way across the entire case [lineup] when we changed over to the new [freezer] cases.” He likes the extra capacity and facings because he doesn’t “have to keep overstocking the back freezer.”
At another store that uses the Crystal™ Merchandiser for all of their refrigerated and frozen natural and organic foods, the department manager said of the new freezer case, “I think the accessibility is wonderful. The doors stay open, it’s easy to fill, and the bottom shelf is slanted so it’s just so much easier for shoppers to see what they are buying. It just looks really good.”

Press Release
North Prairie, WI – April 1, 2013—The Zero Zone Crystal™ Merchandiser, a leading reach-in, medium-temperature display case, is now available in eight- and 12-foot lengths, accommodating merchandisers who prefer four-foot planogram segments. Retailers now have a glass-door alternative to open cases with more size options, but with the same energy reduction—up to 84%—as the original Crystal Merchandiser (RVMC30) with 30” X 74” CoolView™ Doors.
“Our original Crystal Merchandiser has become one of our best-selling cases, due to its energy savings, clean look and appeal to shoppers,” said Carl Petersen, marketing and advertising manager for Zero Zone. “These new cases offer those same benefits, but give our customers more options and flexibility with their merchandising plans. So far, we’ve received extremely positive feedback from retailers.
The first of the new Crystal Merchandiser (RVMC24) cases with 24” x 74” CoolView™ French-style doors have been installed at Don’s Quality Market in Seymour, Wisconsin. Randy Reed, co-owner of the store, made the decision to purchase the new cases based upon experience with the original Crystal Merchandiser. Over the last three years, Reed had installed the Crystal 30” door cases in the dairy, deli and produce departments to increase energy savings.
“Our dairy numbers are up, and we’re able to offer our customers a greater variety,” said Reed. “Just the look of the case itself sells the product better. Plus, it’s easier to face the merchandise. After just a few hours of operation, our customers were approaching me and complimenting the new Crystal Merchandiser cases. They’re really a win-win for both the store and for the customers.”
In addition to the original 30-inch door Crystal Merchandiser and the new 24-inch French-door version, the line also includes a deep model that can hold four 30-packs of 12 oz. cans of beer from front to back. The Crystal Merchandiser Line is available as remote cases or as Hybrid cases, with a condensing unit kit mounted on top of the case. The cases are also available with rear-load doors for stocking from walk-in coolers. For more information about the entire Crystal Merchandiser Line, visit www.zero-zone.com.
