Refrigerated Tables

A refrigerated table is one of the most popular cold equipment units in a professional kitchen. It combines a standard work table height (900 mm) with a chilled storage area underneath, allowing the chef to work and store products in one place. The refrigerated table is a standard in HoReCa kitchens – it optimises workflow and reduces cold chain interruptions. BHS offers a wide range of refrigerated tables to restaurants, cafés and bars, providing the ideal refrigeration solution for every workstation.

Types of refrigerated tables

The BHS catalogue includes several refrigerated table options tailored to different applications. Refrigerated Table with Drawers – with 2 to 4 drawers, ideal for organising products by category, popular in meat and fish workstations. Refrigerated Table without Drawers – with sliding doors or a transparent glass façade, offering more storage space. Refrigerated Table with Granite Top – particularly suitable for pastry work, cheese preparation and products requiring a cooler work surface. Refrigerated Table for Beer Crates and Bottles – with increased width for crates, ideal for bar storage. Low Refrigerated Table for Equipment H-650mm – can be installed under a work surface or equipment.

HACCP and hygiene

A refrigerated table is a direct HACCP work area – products are stored, taken out and processed in one place, which requires a high hygiene standard. The work surface of the refrigerated table must be cleaned after every shift or in case of any contamination. The stainless steel interior surfaces without gaps ensure easy disinfection. The temperature must remain stably below +4°C throughout the storage period. Important: in refrigerated tables with drawers, the stainless steel drawers must be emptied and washed separately at least once a week. BHS equipment complies with food safety standards and is suitable for daily intensive use in the HoReCa sector.

HoReCa usage scenarios

In a meat workstation, a refrigerated table with drawers stores prepared meat, marinated products and fish fillets right next to the cutting board – minimising time spent outside the cold. In pastry and pizza kitchens, a refrigerated table with a granite top provides a cool work surface for dough work. In salad kitchens, a refrigerated table stores salad ingredients and prepared components right next to the assembly area. In bars, refrigerated tables for beer crates or beverage storage ensure quick access for the bartender. BHS helps choose the most suitable refrigerated table configuration, capacity and size for a specific kitchen workstation and the type of products stored.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a refrigerated table last under intensive use? Professional refrigerated tables are designed for 10–15 years of operation with proper regular maintenance and correct usage. The most important maintenance tasks include cleaning the condenser once a quarter, checking the seals and refilling the refrigerant as needed.

Can refrigerated tables be placed next to hot equipment? It is not recommended – constant heat from a nearby stove or grill increases the compressor load and accelerates wear. It is advisable to install a small thermal partition or leave at least a 10–15 cm gap. If this is not technically possible, choose a refrigerated table model with enhanced cooling and higher compressor power.
