Saladettes
Saladettes are compact refrigerated prep tables designed for salad assembly, garnish storage, and cold food preparation. They hold GN (Gastronorm) containers at working height, keeping ingredients chilled and within arm's reach.
Essential for restaurants, hotels, cafés, and catering kitchens where speed and organisation matter. Choose 1-, 2-, or 3-door models depending on your prep volume and available space.
Saladettes are refrigerated prep tables for ingredient storage and salad assembly. They suit delis, cafés, restaurants and catering operations needing chilled access to pre-portioned components. Key spec: GN container capacity determines throughput and footprint—ranging from compact single-door units to three-door professional lines.
When selecting a saladette, consider the number of covers you serve during peak service, the depth of your counter space, and whether you need full-size (1/1 GN) or third-size (1/3 GN) container configurations. Most units run on standard 230V single-phase supply.
Saladettes are more compact than full prep tables, making them ideal for smaller kitchens or as a secondary station. Look for stainless-steel construction, efficient refrigeration, and easy-access drawers or lids. Support stands are sold separately and recommended for stability and ease of cleaning underneath.

Common questions
What's the difference between a 1-door, 2-door and 3-door saladette?▾
Door count reflects capacity and width. Single-door holds ~109L; 2-door holds ~178L across 1360mm; 3-door reaches 1865mm width with 10x1/3 GN capacity. Choose based on ingredient volume and bench space.
Do you stock support stands separately?▾
Yes. Stands are available for 2-door (905mm) and 3-door (1370mm) models, priced from €313.65. Essential if your bench cannot support the unit directly.
What's a GN container and why does it matter?▾
GN (Gastronorm) is the standard tray size for ingredient storage. Saladettes hold multiples—2-door units typically accommodate 6–7 trays; 3-door up to 10. Determines prep speed and ingredient range.
Are these units suitable for high-volume prep?▾
Professional (Pro Line) 2-door and 3-door models support sustained multi-station salad and cold-plate assembly. Compact 1-door units suit smaller operations or secondary prep areas.
Can I buy replacement grids?▾
Yes. Blacksteel grids (325×570mm) are stocked separately at €29.52 each for component replacement or expansion.
