Refrigerated counter with drawers Novameta BHS-FP0-E101-94/70/90

A cooling counter combines refrigerated storage with a work surface, letting kitchen staff keep ingredients chilled while they prepare dishes directly on the unit. The refrigeration system circulates cold air through an insulated cavity, drawing heat away from the stored items and maintaining a temperature range that slows bacterial growth without freezing. Central cooling distributes the cold air evenly, preventing hot spots and ensuring consistent temperatures across every shelf and drawer. This method is quieter and more energy-efficient than systems that cool individual compartments separately, and it allows the unit to hold a larger volume without increasing the footprint. The operator loads ingredients into the single door and the drawer below. The door opens to adjustable shelves, while the drawer is fitted with removable dividers that organise gastronorm trays in standard sizes. A perforated insert keeps air circulating around the contents, preserving freshness. The worktop—available in solid wood, stone or stainless steel—provides a stable surface for chopping, plating or assembling dishes. An upstand around the edge stops spills from running onto the floor. Once the ingredients are loaded, the thermostat is set between -5 °C and +8 °C, and the unit runs continuously, cycling the compressor to maintain the chosen temperature. The cabinet is built from AISI 304 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy that withstands frequent cleaning and contact with food acids. The exterior is powder-coated for extra durability, while the interior walls are insulated to reduce heat transfer. The 40 mm solid wood worktop or 30 mm stone worktop adds weight that keeps the unit stable during use. A single door with a magnetic seal and a full-width drawer with telescopic runners give access to the 232 L storage volume. The controls consist of a thermostat dial that sets the temperature within the -5 °C to +8 °C range. The 230 V power requirement matches a standard single-phase circuit, allowing the unit to be plugged into a typical kitchen supply without additional wiring. The 0.293 kW power rating indicates a modest electrical load, keeping running costs low while still delivering sufficient cooling for the 232 L volume. The 940 mm width, 700 mm depth and 900 mm height create a compact footprint that fits beneath standard worktops or against a wall. The weight of the unit, combined with the solid worktop, prevents movement during use, so it does not need to be bolted down. The temperature range of -5 °C to +8 °C covers chilled storage for dairy, meats, seafood and prepared dishes, but it is not cold enough for freezing or for holding frozen stock. The seamless AISI 304 surfaces let you wipe down the entire unit in one motion after prepping dough or plating desserts without trapping flour or syrup in corners. The drawer and its dividers are removable for thorough washing, and the perforated insert can be lifted out to clean beneath it. The worktop—whether wood, stone or stainless steel—is wiped down after each service to prevent cross-contamination. The upstand around the worktop simplifies cleaning by containing spills, and the powder-coated finish resists stains and scratches. Variants include the worktop material—solid wood at 40 mm thickness, stone at 30 mm thickness, or no worktop for installations where the unit is built into existing cabinetry. Additional accessories are an extra stainless steel grid for shelving and an extra stainless steel guide for the drawer. Removable drawer dividers are supplied in pairs and accommodate gastronorm trays in 1/3, 1/6, 1/9 and 2/3 sizes. This cooling counter is listed in the refrigeration section of the professional catering catalogue, under worktop refrigerators.
