Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Pier Bistro in Weston-super-Mare was struggling with a cramped kitchen layout that caused delays during the busy tourist season. They upgraded to the Infrico Pass-Thru Chiller to create a more logical workflow between their small prep area and the fast-paced main kitchen.
"It has completely reorganised how we operate. The prep team can load up the chiller without getting in the way of the chefs on the line. Service is faster, calmer, and much more efficient. I wish we’d done it years ago."
David Chen – Executive Chef
The bistro successfully reduced average ticket times by 20% during peak summer service, leading to higher table turnover.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is placed on a firm, level surface; use the adjustable legs to get it perfectly balanced.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper air circulation to prevent overheating.
- Plug into a suitable 13 amp socket – avoid using extension leads for safety and performance.
- Allow the counter to reach its target temperature for a couple of hours before you start loading it with food.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior surfaces and shelves weekly with a food-safe cleaner and a soft cloth.
- Regularly clean the stainless steel exterior with a specialist cleaner to keep it looking pristine and professional.
- Check the door seals (gaskets) every month for any splits or gaps to ensure they are sealing tightly.
- Gently brush any dust or debris from the condenser coils every few months to maintain cooling efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions

The Infrico Standard: Built for the Demands of the Professional Kitchen
When you choose an Infrico unit, you're investing in more than just a set of specifications; you're buying into a legacy of European engineering focused on reliability and performance. This double door refrigerated prep counter is a prime example. The use of high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel throughout isn’t just for show – it's a commitment to hygiene, corrosion resistance, and a long service life, even in the most demanding kitchen environments. This focus on durability means fewer service calls and less downtime for your business. Beyond its clever pass-through design, the unit incorporates energy-efficient components like R290 refrigerant, reflecting a modern approach to reducing both environmental impact and day-to-day operational costs. It’s a piece of equipment designed not just to do a job, but to enhance your entire kitchen's efficiency and resilience for years to come.

So, what exactly is a 'pass-through' design and why does it matter? In simple terms, it means the unit has doors on both the front and the back. This allows it to be placed between two different kitchen areas, like a wall, creating a magic portal for chilled ingredients.
Think of it like the serving hatch at a classic takeaway, but for your cold storage. The prep team can chop salads, portion desserts, or arrange starters and load them into the chiller from their side. Then, the chefs on the service line can open their side and take what they need, without anyone having to walk around or interrupt each other. It’s a beautifully simple idea that drastically reduces foot traffic, prevents kitchen gridlock, and keeps everyone in their own organised zone.
