TEFCOLD Freezing Counter SA910BT GN1/1 943 mm

A freezing counter keeps prepared food chilled and visible at serving height while maintaining safe storage temperatures. Inside, a refrigeration circuit circulates refrigerant through an evaporator coil. A fan draws air across the coil, pulling heat from the cabinet and lowering the temperature below freezing. The cooled air is then distributed evenly, ensuring consistent temperatures across every shelf. This method prevents ice crystals from forming on food and preserves texture and flavour without drying the product out.

The operator loads the two white wire shelves with gastronorm trays of pre-portioned salads, desserts or cold appetisers. The doors are closed and the unit is switched on. The fan-assisted cooling cycle starts automatically, bringing the cabinet down to the set temperature between -20 °C and -10 °C. An automatic defrost programme periodically melts any frost that builds on the evaporator, draining the water away without manual intervention. The doors can be opened throughout service to replenish or serve items, and the fan continues to circulate cold air to maintain the temperature.

The cabinet is built from stainless steel, forming a durable, easy-clean surface that resists corrosion and stands up to daily use in a busy kitchen. Two white wire shelves, sized to hold standard GN1/1 trays, are positioned inside. Adjustable feet at each corner allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, preventing doors from swinging open or closed unintentionally.

The temperature control sets the operating range between -20 °C and -10 °C, allowing the counter to hold frozen food safely or to chill items just below freezing for a firmer texture. The 0.28 kW power rating indicates the electrical load the unit places on the circuit, suitable for a standard 220-240 V single-phase supply found in most professional kitchens. The 230 litre volume provides space for multiple gastronorm trays, while the 943 mm width fits into a standard worktop run without requiring custom joinery. The 86 kg weight means the unit can be moved by two people or on a sack trolley, but is stable enough to remain in place during service.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel exterior and interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The wire shelves can be removed and washed separately. The automatic defrost system eliminates the need to manually defrost the evaporator, reducing maintenance time. Adjustable feet should be checked periodically to ensure the unit remains level and doors seal properly.

The counter is supplied with two GN1/1 wire shelves and is designed for use with standard gastronorm trays. It is placed in the catalogue under refrigeration and chilled display equipment, specifically in the section for under-counter and counter-top freezing units.
