The ST18 is a 7-litre single-tank cooler designed for chilled ayran, sherbet, and yogurt-based beverages. It uses static refrigeration to maintain service temperature in kebab restaurants, Turkish cafés, and hotel buffet lines. The unit operates with an electromagnetic pump and stainless steel construction for daily commercial use.
Commercial Application
Turkish and Middle Eastern outlets serve ayran and sherbet throughout service hours. This unit holds one beverage type at consistent cold temperature, dispensing on demand without manual ladling. The polycarbonate tank provides visibility for staff to monitor fill levels during peak hours.
The electromagnetic pump delivers portion control at the tap without staff handling the beverage directly. Static cooling maintains temperature during continuous dispensing. Hotels use this model on breakfast buffets where ayran is served alongside juice and water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the usable tank capacity for ayran service?
A: The ST18 holds 7 litres of chilled beverage. This provides approximately 28 servings at 250 ml per portion. Tank refills during service require 8-12 minutes to return to serving temperature.
Q: What temperature range does the static cooling system maintain?
A: The unit maintains beverage temperature between 2°C and 8°C under normal ambient conditions. Static cooling distributes cold air around the tank without agitation. Temperature stability depends on ambient room temperature and refill frequency.
Q: Which refrigerant does the compressor use?
A: The compressor operates on R134a refrigerant, standard in commercial beverage cooling. The system contains a sealed charge requiring no field refilling during normal operation. Refrigerant specifications appear on the compressor housing data plate.
Q: What is the daily cleaning procedure for hygiene compliance?
A: Remove the polycarbonate tank and disassemble the tap assembly. Wash all beverage-contact parts in hot water with commercial detergent. The electromagnetic pump housing requires wiping with food-safe sanitiser.
Q: What is the electricity consumption during operation?
A: The unit draws 400 Kcal cooling capacity from a standard 220-240V AC supply. Power consumption varies with ambient temperature and door opening frequency. The compressor cycles on and off to maintain set temperature.
