How Commercial Refrigerated Prep Counters with Doors Work

Refrigerated prep counters are clever bits of kit that combine cooling technology with practical workspace. They use powerful compressors to circulate refrigerant through the unit, maintaining a consistent temperature between 2-8°C in the storage compartments below the worktop. The doors provide quick access to chilled ingredients stored in gastronorm containers, while the refrigeration system uses fans to distribute cold air evenly. Most models have digital controllers that let you set precise temperatures, with automatic defrost functions ensuring they keep running smoothly. It's essentially your worktop and fridge merged into one efficient station—brilliant for maintaining your cold chain during busy service!
