Ask a Question About This Product
A 196-litre refrigerated prep station designed for topping assembly in commercial pizza kitchens. The unit operates at 220–240V and holds GN 1/4 gastronorm containers at working height. Combines ingredient refrigeration and prep access in a single 100×70×133 cm footprint.
Commercial Application
Used during pizza assembly to keep toppings at safe temperature while maintaining rapid access. The elevated design positions ingredients at operator elbow height, reducing bending during high-volume service. Operators assemble pies directly above refrigerated storage.
Works as a primary prep station in pizzerias running 60–120 covers per shift. Toppings remain at working temperature throughout service without manual ice rotation. The 196-litre capacity supports ingredient volumes for multi-hour peak periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What temperature range does the refrigeration system maintain?
A: The unit maintains +2°C to +8°C in the main storage compartment and top display section. Temperature stability is maintained in ambient kitchen conditions up to 38°C. Digital thermostat allows adjustment within this range.
Q: How many GN 1/4 pans does the top section hold?
A: The top prep deck holds 9 × GN 1/4 gastronorm containers as standard. Alternative configurations with GN 1/3 or GN 1/6 pans can be specified before dispatch. Contact TurcoBazaar to confirm pan layout requirements.
Q: Does the unit require three-phase electrical supply?
A: No. The refrigeration system operates on single-phase 220–240V at 50–60 Hz. Standard UK 13A plug connection is sufficient for installation in existing kitchen circuits.
Q: What is the internal storage volume below the prep deck?
A: The lower refrigerated compartment provides 196 litres of storage. This accommodates bulk ingredient containers, backup topping supplies, and pre-portioned prep during off-peak hours.
Q: Can the unit operate in non-air-conditioned kitchens?
A: Yes. The refrigeration system is rated for tropical ambient conditions up to 38°C. Performance remains stable in kitchens without climate control, provided ventilation clearances are maintained around condenser coils.
