Refrigerated counters
Refrigerated counters keep ingredients and prepared dishes at safe temperatures whilst keeping them accessible during service. These units sit at working height, making them essential for prep lines, pastry stations, and front-of-house display in restaurants, cafés, and catering kitchens.
Choose from static or fan-assisted cooling, with capacity ranging from 4 to 10 gastronorm pans. Most models are 1200–2000mm wide and fit standard worktop heights.
Refrigerated counters are chilled display and storage units that sit atop existing worktops or run as standalone prep stations. Essential for delis, fish counters, pastry prep and ingredient access in high-volume kitchens. Capacity ranges from 4 to 10 gastronorm pans; widths from 1200mm to 2000mm.
When selecting a refrigerated counter, consider your kitchen layout and the volume you need to hold chilled. Static cooling suits lower-throughput operations; fan-assisted models maintain more stable temperatures in busy kitchens and warmer environments.
Check the gastronorm pan capacity (1/4 or 1/3 size) to match your prep workflow, and verify worktop dimensions fit your available space. Look for models with easy-access storage below the counter surface and efficient insulation to reduce running costs.
