Counter freezer with granite worktop Novameta BHS-FM0-N121-94/70/90

A freezing counter keeps food at deep-freeze temperatures while providing a solid work surface above. The refrigeration unit pulls heat from the insulated cabinet below, circulating cold air to maintain a steady temperature between -20 °C and -18 °C. This stops bacterial growth and preserves food safely for extended storage without ice crystals forming. The granite table top gives a stable, hard-wearing area for food preparation or plating directly beside the frozen stock.

The operator loads food into the four full-width drawers, each sliding on runners for easy access. Once the drawers are closed, the unit holds the set temperature automatically. The worktop remains clear for chopping, portioning or assembling dishes, so frozen ingredients can be retrieved and used without moving to a separate station.

The cabinet is built from AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and hygiene in professional kitchens. High-quality insulation reduces energy use and keeps the temperature stable even when the kitchen is warm. The granite top is sealed to the stainless steel frame, creating a seamless surface that resists scratches and stains.

Controls are simple: a thermostat maintains the temperature range of -20 °C to -18 °C, and an indicator light shows the unit is powered. The 230 V voltage requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, and the 4.1 A current draw is typical for a counter of this size. The 0.542 kW power rating reflects the load on the supply, balancing freezing performance with energy efficiency.

The 940 mm length and 700 mm depth give a generous worktop area, while the 890 mm height fits under standard kitchen shelving. The 130 L volume inside the drawers provides ample storage for bulk frozen goods, and the overall footprint suits a busy kitchen where space is organised for workflow. The weight of the unit means it is moved on castors or with a pallet truck, not lifted by hand.

Cleaning follows from the materials: the stainless steel surfaces and granite top are wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasives that could scratch. The drawers can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the insulation and refrigeration unit require no maintenance beyond keeping the condenser coils free of dust.

The Novameta M121 is a single model with a granite table top and four drawers, designed for professional catering environments where frozen storage and worktop space are needed together.
