TEFCOLD RIC880X1 Roll-In Cooler for Professional Kitchens

A roll-in cooler brings refrigerated storage directly to the worktop without transferring trays. A powerful fan circulates cold air evenly around the trolley, pulling heat from the food faster than still air can. The refrigeration unit runs only as long as the temperature sensor demands, keeping energy use low while maintaining a steady chill. Automatic defrost cycles clear ice from the evaporator without manual intervention, so the cooler stays at peak efficiency even in humid kitchens. The operator wheels a loaded trolley into the cabinet, closes the door and sets the digital controller to the desired temperature between +2 and +10 °C. A bright display shows the current reading, and the fan starts immediately to circulate cold air around the trays. When the set point is reached, the compressor cycles off until the sensor calls for more cooling. Defrosting happens automatically at intervals the controller determines, melting any frost on the evaporator coils without raising the cabinet temperature. The RIC880X1 is built with a stainless steel exterior and interior for easy cleaning and resistance to corrosion. Ventilated cooling ensures even temperatures throughout the cabinet, and the digital controller allows precise adjustment. An automatic defrost system keeps the evaporator clear without manual intervention. The 220-240 V voltage requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, so the unit plugs into existing kitchen power without special wiring. The 4.24 kW daily energy consumption reflects the cooler's efficient operation, balancing rapid chilling with controlled running costs. At 155 kg, the cabinet is heavy enough to stay stable on the floor but light enough to move with a pallet truck. The 880 mm width and 994 mm depth accommodate a single GN2/1 or 600x400 mm trolley, or two GN1/1 trolleys side by side, fitting standard kitchen layouts without wasted space. Stainless steel walls and shelves wipe clean in seconds, so trolley wheels never track residue into the next prep cycle. The ventilated cooling system requires occasional vacuuming of the evaporator coils to maintain airflow, and the automatic defrost system eliminates the need for manual ice removal. The digital controller's display and buttons should be kept free of grease and moisture to ensure accurate readings. The RIC880X1 is designed for climate class 5, ensuring reliable performance in warm kitchen environments where ambient temperatures can rise. It is listed in the refrigeration section of the professional catering catalogue.
