Durable and Energy-Efficient Milk Cooler
Serve milk directly from a milk case cooler on a cafeteria line, or use a milk refrigerator as backroom storage in high-volume locations. Our unique lid arrangement offers the lowest serving height in the industry — only 16″ from the floor to the bottom of the opening when the lower lid is open. A long-lasting aluminum interior is standard in a Powers milk refrigerator for the most efficient cold wall cooling. Lids can be locked with a long shank padlock between the upper and lower handle.
Additional features of a Powers Commercial Milk Refrigerator:

- Powder-coat or stainless steel exterior finish
- 1/5 HP condensing unit
- Energy Efficient R-290 Hydrocarbon Refrigerant

With a Powers Equipment milk refrigerator, milk can be served directly from the case in the serving line so customers can help themselves, or it can be used in a back room for milk storage when you need additional cold milk to be available and accessible.
Certified and Energy-Efficient Milk Coolers:
Every milk case refrigerator is certified by a third-party NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) to meet NSF/ANSI Standard #7 for food safety and UL/CSA standards for safety. Our milk coolers are low maintenance and provide the lowest cost of operation meeting the strictest standards because we are certified as meeting the Energy Star energy-efficiency requirements. The coolers operate quietly because they do not have an interior fan. Our milk refrigerators are cold wall cooled, include a stainless steel top, lids, hinges, and latches, and feature a heavy-gauge, aluminum interior. A Powers milk cooler also has an easy-to-clean interior incorporating removable plastic bottom drainage pans and a vinyl gasket that can be removed for easy maintenance.
Keep Milk Fresh Longer with Commercial Milk Coolers
Milk should be stored at a temperature of 40 degrees. Every rise of 5 degrees beyond that reduces the milk’s shelf life by half. Reducing spoilage not only protects consumers but reduces waste, thereby saving money.
A Powers Equipment milk refrigerator is your quick and reliable solution to keeping milk fresh and easily accessible to customers, students, and employees.

Commercial Milk Refrigerator for Schools, Healthcare & Food Service
Commercial milk refrigerators keep milk fresh and cool throughout the day, avoiding spoilage and waste. A lot of individuals favor commercial milk refrigerators over regular kitchen refrigerators because they are specifically designed to store and serve hundreds of cartons of milk straight from the shipping carton or crate. That way, you can load the milk into the refrigerator without having to unpack it.
Commercial milk refrigerators are a great option for any self-serve, convenience, or grab-and-go food service restaurant. While they’re most widely found in school cafeterias and healthcare environments (they are often referred to as school milk refrigerators), they’re also a great choice for any convenience store or self-serve food service establishment.
These milk coolers are perfect for schools that need to be able to quickly transfer the refrigeration device to the kitchen when the lunch hour ends, as well as healthcare services and nursing homes that need in-room delivery. Milk refrigerators with heavy-duty, built-in casters are available for purchase at Powers, allowing you to conveniently roll the machine anywhere you need to distribute fresh milk.
Milk coolers, which are commonly used in educational institutions, must be designed to withstand the constant wear of regular use while maintaining cooling efficiency to ensure that a cold carton of milk is served to all the students in line. The custom milk refrigerators at Powers are made of stainless steel, which makes them very sturdy and corrosion-resistant, allowing them to last a long time.
At Powers, commercial milk coolers are available in a variety of heights to satisfy people of all sizes and ages, and they can hold several crates of milk at once. Cartons can be arranged on shelves lined at the base of the aluminum interior of some units. For ease of access, a foldable stainless steel door that folds up or down is available.
FAQs For Commercial Milk Cooler
Powers milk refrigerators are available in three sizes: 33″, 47″, and 59″ wide (models 681, 569, and 780). All units are 31″ deep and 40½″ tall, so you can choose the footprint that best fits your serving line or storage space.
Capacity depends on model size and case type. The 33″ model holds up to 8 cases of 13×13 (16 qt.) crates, the 47″ model holds up to 12, and the 59″ model holds up to 16. Larger case sizes (13×16 and 13×19) hold slightly fewer crates per unit — see the spec table above for exact counts by model.
The main difference is width and storage capacity. The 681 (33″) is the compact option with 2 bottom racks and 11.2 cu. ft. of volume, the 569 (47″) offers 3 racks and 16.7 cu. ft., and the 780 (59″) is the largest with 4 racks and 21.4 cu. ft. All three share the same depth, height, and 1/5 HP condensing unit.

Yes, all Powers milk refrigerators are Energy Star certified, meeting strict energy-efficiency requirements while keeping operating costs low.
Unlike standard commercial refrigerators, milk coolers are purpose-built to store and serve milk directly from shipping cartons or crates — no unpacking required. Features like a low serving height (16″ from floor to opening), cold wall cooling, and a stainless steel and aluminum interior are designed specifically for high-volume milk service in cafeterias, healthcare facilities, and convenience stores.
Milk should be stored at 40°F. Every 5-degree rise above that cuts the milk’s shelf life in half, so consistent cold storage is essential to prevent spoilage and reduce waste.
