Commercial Prep Refrigeration

Prep refrigeration is a bench that happens to be a fridge

These are built around the work rather than around storage: a refrigerated well of gastronorm pans at the top where the hands are, and cold storage underneath for the day's backup. That is why they are sized by bench length rather than by litres. Ours run 435 mm to 2,400 mm wide, with the middle of the range at 1,500 mm.

Salad and sandwich, or pizza

Salad and sandwich prep benches carry a shallower well of smaller pans and are the general-purpose choice for cafés and sandwich bars. Pizza prep benches are deeper, take larger pans and usually carry a raised rail so toppings sit above the dough line. The difference is the depth of the well, and it is not something you can work around later.

Check the depth before anything else

Prep benches are the models most often ordered and then found not to fit, because the constraint is depth as well as width — the cabinet has to clear the counter overhang and the doors have to open in the space you actually have. Filter by depth on the range pages, or send us the run and we will check it.
