GEMM Freezer Table GN1/1 THBD/170 A for Professional Kitchens

A freezer table combines refrigerated storage with a worktop, keeping ingredients at sub-zero temperatures while providing a sturdy surface for food preparation. The unit circulates cold air through a ventilated cooling system, pulling heat out of the interior and expelling it at the rear. A compressor drives the refrigerant through coils, lowering the temperature to the set point and maintaining it evenly across every shelf. This method prevents hot spots and ensures food stays frozen without fluctuations, even when the door is opened frequently during service. To use the table, load GN 1/1 containers onto the two included shelves behind each door. Set the desired temperature between -15 °C and -20 °C on the 2.8-inch touch control panel. The unit starts automatically, and the digital display shows the current reading. An automatic defrost cycle activates at intervals, melting any ice build-up with heating elements and evaporating the condensate without manual intervention. When the cycle ends, the compressor resumes cooling, and the interior returns to the set temperature. The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel throughout, including the exterior, interior and worktop. A 50 mm insulation layer separates the inner and outer walls, reducing heat transfer and stabilising the internal climate. Two doors, each with a GN 1/1 shelf, open to reveal the refrigerated compartment. The technical compartment, housing the compressor and condenser, can be positioned on either the right or left side to suit the kitchen layout. The worktop measures 1760 mm long, 700 mm deep and stands 1000 mm high, integrating at standard worktop height for seamless workflow. A 0.791 kW power rating indicates the load the unit places on the electrical supply. It requires a single-phase 230 V circuit with a 50 Hz frequency, the standard for commercial kitchens in the UK. The 320 L capacity allows storage of multiple GN 1/1 containers, keeping ingredients organised and accessible. The 196 kg weight means the table must be moved with a trolley or pallet jack, and the floor must support the load without flexing. The -20 °C temperature range is suitable for frozen food storage, preserving quality and safety over extended periods. Stainless-steel surfaces resist grease and food acids, so a quick wipe after service keeps the unit looking new without scrubbing or harsh chemicals. The automatic defrost system eliminates the need to manually scrape ice, but the condensate tray should be checked periodically to ensure it is clear. The touch control panel can be wiped with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the display. The THBD/170 A model is part of the GEMM freezer table range, configured for GN 1/1 containers and supplied with two shelves per door. The unit meets Climatic Class 5, ensuring stable operation in environments up to +40 °C, such as busy kitchens with high ambient temperatures and humidity.
