MBM Refrigerator 140TN for Professional Kitchens

A refrigeration unit of this type removes heat from the insulated cabinet and expels it outside, maintaining a consistent low temperature inside. The refrigerating monoblock circulates a coolant that absorbs heat from the air as it passes through an evaporator coil, then compresses and releases the heat outdoors via a condenser. This closed cycle keeps the interior cold without introducing outside air, preserving food safety and extending shelf life.

To operate the refrigerator, the user loads ingredients onto the GN2/1 grids or directly onto the runners. The self-closing door is opened manually and stays at a neutral position when released, preventing accidental closure. Once the door is shut, the automatic defrost programme activates at intervals, melting any frost on the evaporator coil and collecting the condensate in a removable tank. The tropicalised refrigerating unit adjusts its cooling rate to maintain the set temperature even in warm, humid environments.

The cabinet is constructed from AISI series 2 stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The 60 mm thick polyurethane insulation, injected at high pressure without CFC or HCFC, minimises heat transfer and reduces energy consumption. Internal corners are rounded to eliminate crevices where debris could collect, and the removable magnetic gasket allows thorough cleaning without tools. Six white-coated GN2/1 grids are supplied, each resting on U-shaped stainless steel runners that can be adjusted in 17 positions at 70 mm intervals. Castors and a door lock are fitted as standard, enabling secure positioning and movement when required.

The 1400-litre capacity allows bulk storage of prepared ingredients in gastronorm containers, while the temperature range of -2 °C to +10 °C accommodates chilled ingredients, dairy products and ready-to-use items without freezing them. The dual 0.51 kW compressors provide redundancy, ensuring continued operation if one unit requires maintenance. The 230 V single-phase supply matches standard UK commercial circuits, and the 242 kg weight indicates a freestanding unit that can be repositioned with a pallet truck or trolley.

Cleaning involves removing the GN2/1 grids and runners, wiping down the interior with a mild detergent, and rinsing the condensate tank. The magnetic gasket can be lifted off for separate cleaning, and the castors should be checked periodically for debris that could impede movement.
