Running a busy kitchen is all about flow and efficiency, and having your key ingredients perfectly chilled and right where you need them is half the battle.

- Cons: Its large footprint and high capacity require a good amount of floor space.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Northern Quarter Bistro in Manchester needed to overhaul its prep station. Their existing refrigeration couldn't keep up with their expanded menu, causing delays and frustrating their chefs during peak service.
"We were constantly running back and forth to the walk-in, which was killing our ticket times. Installing the Inomak 8 drawer counter has put everything we need right on the line. It's completely transformed our service speed and consistency."
David Chen – Head Chef
Since installation, the bistro reports that its service times during peak hours have been reduced by an average of 15%, allowing for higher table turnover.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Position the unit on a flat, level surface to ensure the drawers close properly and the motor runs efficiently.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
- Plug directly into a suitable 13 amp mains socket – avoid using extension leads.
- Allow the counter to run for a few hours to reach its operating temperature before loading it with produce.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces, both inside and out, with a soft cloth and appropriate cleaner daily.
- Regularly clean the magnetic drawer gaskets to ensure a perfect seal, which saves energy and maintains temperature.
- Gently brush or vacuum the condenser coils every month to remove dust build-up, which helps the unit run efficiently.
- Ensure the drawers are not overloaded, as this can obstruct airflow and strain the runners.

Explore more from InomakWhy Forced Air Circulation is a Must-Have
Ever had a fridge where things at the back freeze while items by the door feel a bit lukewarm? That's what happens with basic 'static' cooling. Forced air circulation, which this Inomak counter has, completely solves that problem. Think of it like the difference between a still room and one with a ceiling fan on a hot day. A small fan inside the unit actively pushes the cold air around every nook and cranny. This means every drawer and every corner stays at the exact same, consistent temperature. The result? No dangerous warm spots, less food spoilage, and total peace of mind that your ingredients are being kept perfectly and safely chilled, from front to back.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants: Streamline your prep line by keeping fresh ingredients perfectly chilled and always within arm's reach.
- Hotel Kitchens: Perfect for managing large quantities of prepped food for room service or multiple dining areas.
- Large Scale Catering & Canteens: The huge 583L capacity prep counter makes high-volume meal preparation significantly more efficient.
- Pizzerias & Takeaways: Keep all your toppings organised, fresh, and ready to go during the hectic evening rush.
