IGLOO WELS Refrigerator for Professional Kitchens

A refrigerator of this type maintains a chilled environment by circulating refrigerant through coils, absorbing heat from the interior and releasing it outside. The process keeps food at safe holding temperatures without freezing, preserving freshness while slowing bacterial growth. The closed cabinet prevents warm air from entering, and the insulation reduces the load on the compressor, which cycles on and off to maintain the set range.

The operator loads ingredients or prepared dishes onto the shelves, closes the hinged doors, and sets the thermostat within the +2 to +8 °C range. Vertical lighting illuminates the contents, making items visible without opening the door. The low base deck provides additional storage or can be used as a work surface for organising orders before they are served.

The refrigerator is built with a powder-coated steel frame for durability in a busy kitchen. The sides are finished in ABS, a rigid plastic that resists impact and is easy to clean. Six adjustable shelves allow the interior to be reconfigured for different container sizes, from gastronorm trays to small jars.

The temperature range of +2 to +8 °C is standard for chilled storage in professional kitchens, covering everything from dairy and meats to prepared salads and desserts. The 320 kg weight indicates a floor-standing unit that is moved with a pallet truck or trolley, not carried by hand. The footprint of 1350 mm wide by 750 mm deep fits through standard kitchen doorways and aligns with worktop depths, allowing it to be placed against a wall or integrated into a run of units.

The useful surface area of 3.83 m² plus the 0.73 m² base deck provides ample space for organised storage. Shelves can be removed for cleaning, and the powder-coated steel and ABS surfaces wipe down with a damp cloth. The hinged doors should be checked periodically to ensure the seals remain intact, preventing cold air from escaping.

This model is a single unit with no stated variants. It is designed for use in professional catering environments where consistent chilled storage is required.
