Freezer Table with Granite Top

A freezer table with a granite top is a premium solution for patisseries and dessert preparation areas where it is not only necessary to store frozen products but also to work actively with frozen mixtures on the surface without the risk of them melting quickly. BHS offers this solution across Europe.

Advantages of a granite top for a freezer table

A freezer table with a granite top provides benefits that stainless steel cannot offer. Natural cold accumulation — a freezer table with a granite top: granite accumulates cold from the freezer section below and maintains a low surface temperature; frozen products do not melt as quickly as on stainless steel. Ice-cream preparation — a freezer table with a granite top is ideal for portioning ice cream, glazing frozen cakes and setting chocolate decorations directly on the granite surface. Durability — a freezer table with a granite top: granite withstands intensive use, metal tools and heavy containers without scratching; it lasts longer than stainless steel in an intensive patisserie environment. Aesthetics — a freezer table with a granite top looks more elegant than a standard stainless steel unit; it is suitable for visible patisserie work areas. See also Freezer Table with Lift Mechanism.

Applications of a granite top in patisserie

A freezer table with a granite top provides unique possibilities for preparing frozen desserts. Processing frozen cakes — a freezer table with a granite top provides a cool work surface for glazing frozen cakes; the glaze sets faster and more evenly on the cool granite surface. Chocolate decoration — a freezer table with a granite top allows you to create chocolate decorative elements that need to set quickly; granite speeds up the setting process. Processing frozen dessert surfaces — a freezer table with a granite top provides a stable and cool work surface for preparing frozen mousse cakes, parfaits and terrines. Portioning and plating — a freezer table with a granite top is effective for portioning desserts from larger frozen blocks into individual servings.

Technical characteristics and dimensions

A freezer table with a granite top is available in various sizes and configurations. Freezing compartment — a freezer table with a granite top with a standard freezing compartment from -18°C to -24°C; a powerful compressor maintains the freezing temperature under intensive use. Granite thickness — a freezer table with a granite top with a 20–30 mm thick granite slab; the mass ensures heat accumulation and resistance to mechanical stress. Width — a freezer table with a granite top is available in 700–1500 mm width; choose according to the area of the patisserie preparation zone.

Cleaning a granite top in freezer conditions

A freezer table with a granite top requires cleaning procedures adapted to granite.

Sealing — treat the granite of a freezer table with a granite top once a year with a food-contact-safe granite sealer; this keeps the surface hygienic and non-absorbent. Stain prevention — clean chocolate, fruit and other product stains from a freezer table with a granite top immediately; unsealed granite absorbs colours. Cleaning the freezer section — the cleaning of the freezing compartment and condenser of a freezer table with a granite top is identical to that of a standard freezer table; defrost and clean regularly.
