Freezer Table with Drawers

A freezer table with drawers combines two main functions — storing deep-frozen products and providing a conveniently accessible work surface in one compact unit. Storing frozen products directly beneath the work surface frees up space in the kitchen and speeds up the workflow when products are needed immediately.

How a freezer table with drawers works

The deep-freezing compressor of the unit maintains a temperature of −18°C and below in the drawer compartment located beneath the work surface. Drawers with GN tray supports allow the storage of standardised GN trays with frozen products — pizza toppings, frozen meat, desserts or semi-finished products. Thick polyurethane insulation walls ensure temperature retention even during frequent drawer opening. The digital temperature display on the outside allows monitoring of the freezing status without opening the drawer. The compressor is located at the rear or side of the unit, providing easy access for maintenance.

When and where a freezer table with drawers is needed

A freezer table with drawers is the optimal solution for work stations where frozen products are regularly required. In a pizza restaurant, at the dough preparation station, drawers hold frozen dough portions and topping ingredients directly at the preparation surface. In a pastry kitchen, drawers store frozen cream semi-finished products and dessert bases for quick access. In a fast-service restaurant, at the hamburger or sandwich preparation station, frozen patties and portions are available directly from below without walking away. BHS advises on the optimal drawer configuration based on the workflow.

Difference from a refrigerated table with drawers

A freezer table with drawers maintains a temperature of −18°C and below — deep-freezing, designed for storing frozen products for more than 24 hours. A refrigerated table with drawers maintains a temperature of +2 to +8°C — cold storage for fresh products used within the day. The choice between the two depends on the type of product — frozen patties require a freezer, fresh meat and vegetables require refrigeration. Often, both options are used side by side at the same station in a kitchen.

HACCP requirements

A freezer table with drawers maintains the storage temperature of −18°C and below required by HACCP for frozen products. HACCP mandates regular temperature checks at least once per shift. The inside of the drawers and GN supports must be cleaned with a disinfectant after each shift. Frost build-up indicates that the unit is not freezing efficiently due to the load — regular preventive defrosting is necessary. BHS advises on the maintenance of HACCP-compliant freezing equipment.

HoReCa usage scenarios

In a high-turnover pizza restaurant, a freezer table with 3 drawers holds frozen pizza bases, frozen cheese and topping ingredients directly at the pizza preparation table — a more automated solution than a separate freezer in another part of the room. At a dessert station in a fine dining restaurant, frozen soufflé bases, sorbet ingredients and glazed cakes are available directly at the stove without moving.

Frequently asked questions

Do the freezer drawers come with GN trays? Most models’ drawers are equipped with 1/1, 1/2 or 1/3 tray supports for GN. The exact GN format and internal drawer dimensions are specified in the specifications of the particular model. BHS helps identify the appropriate GN configuration.

How long can products be stored? Frozen products at −18°C and below — according to the product’s freezing period, typically 3–12 months. The unit maintains a constant freezing temperature, ensuring proper product storage.
