TEFCOLD RK710G Upright Chiller with Ventilated Cooling

An upright chiller keeps perishable food at safe holding temperatures by circulating cold air evenly around every shelf. A fan draws warm air over an evaporator coil, where refrigerant absorbs the heat and carries it away. The cooled air is then pushed back into the cabinet, maintaining a steady temperature throughout. This ventilated cooling prevents hot spots and ensures consistent chilling without manual rotation of stock.

The operator loads trays or containers onto the adjustable wire shelves, closes the reversible glass door to seal the cabinet, and sets the desired temperature between +2 °C and +10 °C. The self-closing mechanism ensures the door shuts securely after each access, reducing energy loss. A lock secures the contents during service or overnight. Strong wheels allow the unit to be moved for cleaning or reorganisation without lifting.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitising. The interior features three white wire shelves sized to hold GN2/1 gastronorm trays, allowing standardised storage of prepared ingredients or plated dishes. The reversible glass door can be hinged on either side to suit the kitchen layout.

Controls are minimal: a thermostat sets the temperature within the +2 °C to +10 °C range, and an internal light illuminates the contents when the door opens. The 0.315 kW power rating indicates the electrical load the unit draws during operation, suitable for a standard 220-240 V single-phase supply.

A 597 litre volume provides ample space for bulk storage of chilled ingredients, while the 740 mm width and 850 mm depth fit within standard worktop or floor layouts. The 2010 mm height allows stacking of full-size trays without clearance issues. The 143 kg weight reflects the robust construction and the need for a stable floor or reinforced surface.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, removing shelves to wash separately. The wire shelves are designed to allow air circulation while being easy to lift out for thorough sanitising. The refrigerant R290, a hydrocarbon, is used in a sealed system that requires no user maintenance beyond regular coil cleaning to maintain efficiency.

The RK710G is placed in the catalogue under professional refrigeration for catering kitchens, where ventilated cooling and gastronorm compatibility are essential for bulk storage and workflow efficiency.
