Refrigerated Worktables

A worktable with a built-in refrigerator combines a work surface and a cooling unit in one piece of furniture — an efficient solution for kitchens with limited space. Non-standard manufacturing allows precise adaptation of the table's dimensions to the specific space, the refrigerator's position and the work surface equipment. This solution eliminates the need for a separate refrigerator next to the worktable, freeing up space for other purposes.

Advantages compared to a separate refrigerator

A non-standard worktable with a refrigerator combines two functions in one piece of furniture. This is particularly valuable in small kitchens, where the efficient use of every square metre is important. The employee can access cold ingredients directly at the workstation, without moving to a separate refrigeration unit. Non-standard dimensions allow filling a niche between existing equipment or creating an L-shaped work surface. This reduces the number of employee movements and speeds up the food preparation process in every shift.

Configuration options

The configuration of a non-standard worktable with a refrigerator can change many parameters. Table width and length — adapted to the room's dimensions or an existing niche. Refrigerator position — left or right end position or central placement. Drawers or hinged doors in the refrigerated compartment. Work surface equipment — built-in sinks, cable entry holes or racks. Height — usually 850 mm, but adjustable. Models with a freezing function are available for specific needs. Each parameter is agreed with the client during the drawing development phase.

HACCP compliance

The stainless steel work surface ensures compliance with HACCP. A rounded profile is used at the junction between the work surface and the refrigerator, preventing dirt accumulation. The built-in refrigerator maintains a temperature in the 0–10°C range, ensuring compliance with cold storage requirements. Regular surface cleaning and refrigerator disinfection are included in standard sanitary procedures. Stainless steel withstands chemical cleaning agents without the risk of surface damage.

Applications

A worktable with a refrigerator is used in various HoReCa projects. In pizza restaurants — a work surface with a cooling zone for ingredient storage directly at the preparation area. In sushi bars — a cooling zone right next to the cutting work. In small cafés — beverage preparation and cold storage in one piece of furniture. The unit fits into the Non-standard Solutions range alongside other custom-made kitchen elements.

Frequently asked questions

Can the refrigerator be installed in any table position? No — the refrigerator's position affects ventilation requirements. The refrigerator is usually placed in an end position with sufficient air circulation at the back. This issue is addressed during the drawing development phase.

What is the capacity of the built-in refrigerator? Depends on the model and table dimensions. Typical capacities range from 50 to 300 litres. The exact capacity is determined by the configuration and space requirements.

Materials and manufacturing quality

A stainless steel work surface is a mandatory element in professional kitchen equipment. BHS non-standard worktables with refrigerators use the same stainless steel quality standard as catalogue products. Metal thickness is adapted to the load and work intensity. The refrigerator's external surfaces are made of stainless steel or antibacterial plastic material, which withstands regular disinfection. After manufacturing, each table is checked — compliance with the drawing, refrigerator operation check and surface quality. This combination ensures HACCP compliance and a long service life.
