Ask a Question About This Product
The TURCO 450L (Model 22TBF3S-PA70) is a drawer-based refrigerated counter designed for pizza prep stations and sandwich assembly lines. It stores 450 litres of topping ingredients, dough balls, and portioned materials at controlled temperature during service. Operated by kitchen staff in pizzerias, Italian restaurants, and high-volume catering facilities.
Commercial Application
Pizza assembly and sandwich prep require frequent access to cold ingredients without breaking the production flow. The drawer layout keeps toppings organised at waist height, reducing reach time and maintaining ingredient temperature stability during repeated opening cycles.
Used throughout service in pizzerias running 100–300 covers per shift. The 450-litre capacity supports batched prep for peak hours, holding dough portions in lower drawers and cut vegetables or proteins in upper compartments. Temperature recovery between drawer openings determines throughput consistency.
