Keep ingredients within reach while making full use of your preparation area. The XU Series stainless steel refrigerated counters combine a practical work surface with refrigerated or frozen storage underneath, helping commercial kitchens bring preparation and ingredient access into one workstation.
Available in 900, 1200, 1500 and 1800 mm widths, the range offers effective capacities from 136 to 426 litres. Every model shares a 760 mm depth and 850 mm height, making it easier to select the counter length that suits your kitchen layout.
Choose an R-series refrigerator with a 0°C to +10°C range or an F-series freezer with a listed temperature of −18°C. Ventilated cooling, a HUAYI compressor and a Carel temperature controller support the refrigeration system, while high-density foam insulation helps limit heat transfer into the cabinet.
Adjustable internal shelves accommodate different storage arrangements. Self-closing doors, removable door gaskets and automatic defrost simplify everyday operation and cleaning around a busy preparation station.
