Refrigerator BHS-HoReCa R-1-VK-185/80

A refrigerator built to hold entire pallets and mobile trolleys keeps bulk ingredients and prepared dishes chilled without breaking down deliveries into smaller loads. The unit circulates cold air with a fan, pulling heat from the stored items and maintaining an even temperature throughout the cabinet. This forced-air method cools faster and more uniformly than static refrigeration, preventing hot spots that can spoil food or overwork the compressor.

The operator wheels a loaded pallet or trolley into the cabinet, closes the door, and sets the desired temperature between 0 and +5 °C. LED lighting inside the top and along the vertical edges switches on automatically, illuminating the full height of the shelves. Two rows of adjustable shelves allow the height to be tailored to different load sizes, while the bottom section accommodates two standard europallets side by side.

The cabinet is constructed from powder-coated steel, with the same finish on both the exterior and interior edges. This coating resists corrosion and makes the surfaces easy to wipe clean. The forced-cooling system runs continuously once the temperature is set, circulating air to keep every shelf at the same level of chill.

Controls are minimal: a single thermostat sets the temperature range from 0 to +5 °C. The LED lighting operates automatically when the door opens, eliminating the need for a separate switch.

A footprint of 1850 by 810 mm fits the space of two europallets, while the 2225 mm height allows stacking or high shelving. The 300 kg weight means the unit must be positioned on a solid floor and moved with a pallet truck or similar equipment. The 0 to +5 °C range is designed for fresh produce, dairy, and prepared dishes that require chilled storage but not freezing.

Cleaning involves wiping down the powder-coated steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The adjustable shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the forced-air system requires periodic checks to ensure the fan and vents are free of dust or debris.

The R-1-VK-185/80 is categorised as a large-capacity refrigerator for bulk storage in professional kitchens and food-service operations.
