The ST18 is a 7-litre single-tank cooler designed for chilled ayran, sherbet, and yogurt-based beverages in commercial food service. It maintains consistent cold temperatures using a static cooling system with a silent compressor. The unit is built for kebab shops, Turkish restaurants, hotel buffets, and catering operations serving high volumes of dairy drinks.
Commercial Application
Operators use this cooler to hold prepared ayran and fermented drinks at safe serving temperatures throughout service hours. The 7-litre capacity suits small to medium outlets where space is limited and turnover is moderate. The polycarbonate tank allows visual monitoring of product levels without opening the chamber.
During peak service, the electromagnetic pump delivers consistent flow through the faucet without manual handling of chilled product. The compressor runs continuously to counteract ambient heat in open kitchen environments. Staff refill the tank between rushes and perform daily cleaning after close.
Key Operational Advantages
- 7-litre polycarbonate chamber resists breakage and shows product level at a glance
- Electromagnetic pump with silent reducer motor delivers smooth flow without vibration
- Static cooling system holds temperature across full tank volume without stirring mechanism
- Stainless steel front and side panels resist corrosion in humid dairy service environments
- Silent compressor reduces noise in customer-facing service counters
- Faucet design allows single-hand operation during high-volume periods

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the usable capacity of the ST18 tank?
A: The tank holds 7 litres of prepared beverage. This volume suits outlets serving 30 to 50 portions per service period before refilling.
Q: What temperature range does the cooling system maintain?
A: The static cooling system holds contents between 2°C and 6°C under normal ambient conditions. Temperature stability depends on door position and refill frequency during service.
Q: What refrigerant does the compressor use?
A: The sealed compressor circuit uses R134a refrigerant compliant with UK and EU environmental regulations. Refrigerant service requires a certified technician.
Q: How is the polycarbonate tank cleaned daily?
A: The tank lifts out of the cooling chamber after disconnecting the faucet assembly. Wash with warm water and food-safe detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry before reassembly.
Q: What is the power consumption during continuous operation?
A: The compressor draws approximately 0.4 kW during active cooling cycles. Actual consumption varies with ambient temperature and door-open frequency.
