TEFCOLD SA920 Saladette Counter for GN1/1 Pans

A saladette counter chills prepared ingredients in an open-top cabinet by circulating cold air with a fan. The fan draws heat away from the pans faster than still air, keeping contents at a steady temperature without freezing. This method preserves texture and colour while allowing quick access during service.

The operator loads GN1/1 pans directly into the open top, sets the desired temperature between +2 and +10 °C, and leaves the unit to maintain the range automatically. Automatic defrost cycles prevent ice build-up, so the cabinet does not need manual defrosting. Two wire shelves organise the pans, and the doors close to retain cold air when the counter is not in use.

The cabinet is constructed in stainless steel for hygiene and durability. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, and the open-top design allows unobstructed access to the pans.

The 220-240 V voltage requirement matches standard UK single-phase circuits, so the unit connects to a typical kitchen supply without additional wiring. The 0.155 kW power rating indicates a modest electrical load, suitable for continuous operation alongside other equipment. The 230 L volume provides space for multiple GN1/1 pans, while the 70 kg weight allows the unit to be moved with a trolley or two people. The 900 mm width fits standard worktop depths, leaving room for adjacent preparation areas.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surfaces and wire shelves with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The automatic defrost system eliminates the need for manual ice removal, reducing maintenance time. The refrigerant R600a is pre-charged at 68 g, so no additional handling is required.

The SA920 is designed for GN1/1 pans and includes two wire shelves in the standard configuration.
