Cold Room Cooling Units
Cold Room Cooling Units
Cold room cooling units from Landig, the German manufacturer with over 40 years of refrigeration engineering behind them. Plug-in, stainless steel, and built to cool cold rooms from 8m³ up to 23m³ - whether you're hanging game, maturing cheese, storing wine, or running a busy farm shop.
We supply two ranges. Side mounted units fit through the cold room wall and suit most standard builds. Ceiling mounted units drop into the ceiling, saving wall space and keeping the cold room unobstructed. Both ranges use the same LaPlus circulating air system and come in three power classes, so you can size the unit to your room instead of buying more cooling than you need.
Every unit arrives pre-charged with refrigerant and ready to install. No refrigeration engineer needed on day one - plug it in and run.
Side mounted vs ceiling mounted - which do you need?
The decision usually comes down to your cold room layout.
Choose a side mounted chiller unit if:
- You have a flat, insulated wall at least 8cm thick with space to cut in a 390 × 310mm (or 390 × 451mm) opening
- Your cold room is accessed from one side and wall space isn't at a premium
- You want the simpler, more common installation

Choose a ceiling mounted chiller unit if:
- Your cold room is tight on wall space or accessed from multiple sides (common in butchery rooms and walk-in larders)
- You want the cooling unit out of the way for cleaning and hygiene
- Aesthetics matter - retail cheese rooms, wine cellars and farm shop displays benefit from the cleaner look

Choose a cooling unit by cold room size
All Landig cooling units come in three power classes. Match the unit to your insulated room volume:
- 700W (LS 700 / LD 700) - cold rooms up to 8m³. Suits a small walk-in larder, a home game fridge, or a boutique cheese or charcuterie room.
- 1100W (LS 1100 / LD 1100) - cold rooms up to 12m³. The most common choice for farm shops, small butchers, breweries, and mid-sized game larders.
- 2000W (LS 2000 / LD 2000) - cold rooms up to 23m³. For commercial butchery, high-volume game processing, larger cheese maturing rooms, or wine storage cellars.
Performance figures assume an ambient temperature of +25°C. In hotter rooms (plant rooms, summer storage, south-facing buildings) cooling capacity drops - size up if in doubt.
Cooling units by industry and use case
The temperature range on these units - 0°C to +15°C standard, or −5°C to +15°C on request - covers nearly every chilled storage application in UK food, drink and floristry. Here's what they're used for.
Butchers and butchery cold rooms
Stainless steel housing, R290 refrigerant, and forced air circulation give consistent 2–4°C hanging temperatures for beef, lamb, pork and cured meats. Evaporator-free interior means more usable hanging space per m³. Pair with a rail system and hanging hooks for a complete butchery cold room.
Game processing and deer larders
Built for the same workload as Landig's professional game fridges, just scaled up for walk-in game larders. Hold carcasses at 2–4°C for controlled hanging and ageing. The 2000W model easily handles a full week's stalking output in a commercial estate larder.
Farm shops and farm larders
Quiet enough for customer-facing areas, hygienic stainless steel for easy daily cleaning, and energy-efficient R290 to keep running costs down. A 1100W unit covers most farm shop cold rooms; step up to 2000W if you're combining chilled storage with a display area.
Cheese storage and cheese maturing rooms
Set the unit to the maturation temperature your cheese needs - typically 8–12°C for hard cheeses, 10–14°C for soft. The LaPlus circulating air system distributes cold evenly, which matters for affinage. For a dedicated cheese cave, ceiling mounted is often preferred for hygiene and aesthetics.
Charcuterie rooms and curing chambers
Hold a precise temperature anywhere from 8°C to 15°C for the curing and drying stages. The electronic temperature control is accurate enough for artisan charcutiers, and the evaporator-free design means no drip onto your product.
Wine storage and wine cellars
Long-term wine storage wants a stable 10–14°C with gentle air movement. Landig's circulating air cooling runs quietly and evenly - no hot spots, no compressor surges. A 700W unit will cool a small private cellar; 1100W or 2000W for commercial wine storage or a wine shop back-of-house.
Artisan and craft breweries
Craft brewers use cold rooms for cold crashing, lagering, and packaged beer storage. Hold fermenting tanks at 1–4°C for lagering, or keg storage at 2–6°C. The R290 refrigerant and evaporator-free design suit brewhouse hygiene standards.
Florists and flower storage
Cut flowers hold best at 2–5°C with steady humidity and gentle air movement. The LaPlus circulating air system avoids the dry spots that kill bloom life in cheaper units. A 700W or 1100W unit suits most florist cold rooms.

Installation and structural requirements
Before you order, check your cold room meets these conditions:
- Fully insulated - floor, walls and ceiling, minimum 8cm sandwich panels
- Proper insulated cold room door fitted
- Wall thickness at the cut-out point: no more than 200mm (side mounted) or 250mm (ceiling mounted)
- Cold room volume within the unit's rated capacity (see sizing above)
If you're building a cold room from scratch, look at our self-assembly larder kits - designed to work directly with these cooling units.
Frequently asked questions about cooling/chilling solutions
What's the difference between side mounted and ceiling mounted Landig chiller units?
Both deliver the same cooling performance and come in the same three power classes. The choice comes down to layout. Side mounted units fit through a wall and are simpler to install. Ceiling mounted units drop into the ceiling, saving wall space - useful for tight rooms, multi-access butchery cold rooms, or cheese and wine rooms where aesthetics matter.
Can one unit cool different temperatures for different products?
Each unit runs at a single set temperature between 0°C and +15°C (or −5°C to +15°C on request). If you need different temperatures for, say, a cheese room and a meat store, use separate cold rooms with a unit in each.
Do I need a refrigeration engineer to install it?
No. The units are pre-charged and plug-in. You will need a builder or carpenter to cut the wall or ceiling opening to the correct size, but the unit itself slides in and seals against the gasket. No gas work required.
Is there UK service and warranty support?
Yes. Every unit comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, and Tarrant Refrigeration provides UK advice and support. Manufacturer service stations are also available across the network.
What refrigerant do these use?
R290 (propane) - a natural refrigerant with very low global warming potential and better energy efficiency than older synthetic gases.
