Pizza Prep Refrigeration

The pizza prep refrigeration collection covers 65 pizza prep fridges and refrigerated preparation counters for pizzerias, restaurants, pubs, clubs and takeaway kitchens. These units hold gastronorm pans of toppings in a chilled top section over a refrigerated base that stores dough trays and back-up stock. Coldline, Atosa and Thermaster are among the brands in the range.

Size the counter by the number of doors below and the width of the topping well above, because that sets how many toppings a pizzaiolo can reach without turning away from the bench. Check whether the top section is refrigerated or insulated, since a refrigerated top holds toppings at temperature through a long service. Bench depth matters, as a deeper counter gives room to stretch and dress a base in front of the well.

• Warranty handled here: We process the claim with the manufacturer; you keep cooking.

Pizza prep refrigeration care and longevity

• Inspect door gaskets fortnightly: A torn or compressed gasket forces the compressor to overrun and triples the energy bill.
• Clean condenser coils: Vacuum the front grille every two weeks. Greasy kitchens block coils within days and trip high-temp alarms.
• Don't block return-air paths: Stacked product against the back wall starves the evaporator and warms the load.
• Run a defrost cycle on schedule: Manual-defrost units need a planned cycle; auto-defrost still benefits from a quarterly deep service.
• Verify temperature with a calibrated probe: Onboard displays drift; check actual product core with a Hanna or Testo probe weekly.
• Plug into a dedicated circuit: Sharing a circuit with a dishwasher or induction hob causes nuisance trips and compressor wear.
