Refrigerated counter with drawers TEFCOLD SA914

A refrigerated counter keeps prepared ingredients chilled without freezing, circulating cold air evenly around each drawer to maintain safe holding temperatures for salads, dressings, cold meats and garnishes. The fan draws air across an evaporator coil, removing heat and lowering the temperature inside the cabinet. This method prevents hot spots and ensures consistent cooling across every shelf, even when the drawers are opened frequently during service.

The operator loads each of the four GN1/1 drawers with prepared food, slides them into the cabinet and sets the desired temperature between +2 °C and +10 °C. The automatic defrost cycle runs without intervention, melting any ice that forms on the coil and draining the water away so the fan can continue circulating air without obstruction. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, keeping the drawers running smoothly and the door seals tight.

The cabinet is built from stainless steel, inside and out, for hygiene and durability in a busy kitchen. The four GN1/1 drawers are the same material, matching the standard gastronorm size used across professional catering equipment. A 230-litre volume provides space for a full service without overcrowding, while the 900 mm width fits neatly into most worktop runs.

Controls are simple: a thermostat sets the holding temperature within the +2 °C to +10 °C range, and the automatic defrost programme handles the rest. The 0.155 kW power rating keeps the electrical load low, suitable for a standard 220-240 V single-phase circuit found in commercial kitchens. At 70 kg, the unit is light enough to move with a trolley but stable once positioned.

Cleaning follows from the construction: stainless steel surfaces wipe clean with a damp cloth, and the drawers lift out for thorough washing. The automatic defrost system eliminates manual defrosting, reducing maintenance to routine wiping and occasional checks of the drain line.

This model is a single variant, the SA914, placed in the refrigeration section under saladettes and cooling counters.
