Stalgast Wheeled Refrigerator D2 for Professional Kitchens

A wheeled refrigerator keeps perishable stock chilled while moving it between prep areas, storage rooms or service points without breaking the cold chain. The unit circulates cold air from an evaporator coil through a fan-driven dynamic system, pulling heat from the stored goods and expelling it at the condenser. This continuous airflow maintains an even temperature throughout the cabinet, preventing hot spots that can spoil food. The refrigeration cycle runs on a compressor that pressurises refrigerant gas, raising its temperature before it is cooled and condensed into a liquid. The liquid then expands through a valve, dropping in temperature and absorbing heat from the cabinet interior before returning to the compressor to repeat the cycle.

To use the refrigerator, unlock the door and pull the profiled handle to open it. Load ingredients onto the six plastic shelves or directly into the compartment; the internal dimensions allow full gastronorm 2/1 trays to be stored. Set the desired temperature between -2 °C and +8 °C using the electronic controller on the front panel, which displays the current reading on a digital screen. The dynamic cooling system starts automatically, circulating air to reach and hold the set point. When the door is released, it closes itself gently, sealing the compartment. The unit defrosts automatically, melting ice from the evaporator and evaporating the condensate to keep the interior dry. For manual defrosting, the controller offers a separate programme.

The cabinet is built with a stainless steel interior and exterior, forming a rigid shell that resists corrosion and wear. Between the inner and outer skins, 6 cm of foam insulation slows heat transfer, reducing the energy needed to maintain the set temperature. Four casters at the base allow the refrigerator to be rolled across the floor; the front pair includes brakes to secure the unit in place. A pollen filter in the airflow path keeps circulating air clean, while internal lighting illuminates the compartment when the door is open.

The 0.44 kW power rating indicates the electrical load the refrigerator draws from a 230 V single-phase circuit, a standard supply in professional kitchens. The 1300 L volume provides space for large quantities of ingredients, while the 188 kg weight reflects the mass of the steel construction, insulation and refrigeration components, requiring two people or a trolley to move it safely. The 1480 mm height, 830 mm width and 2010 mm depth determine the footprint the unit occupies on the floor, fitting through standard kitchen doorways and aligning with worktop heights for easy access.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads that can scratch the finish. The plastic shelves can be removed and washed separately. The pollen filter should be checked monthly and replaced when clogged to maintain airflow. The automatic defrost system reduces manual upkeep, but the condensate tray should be inspected periodically to ensure it is draining properly.

The refrigerator is available in a 1185 L variant, offering a smaller capacity while retaining the same construction and features.

The unit is categorised under wheeled refrigeration in the professional catering equipment catalogue.
