What should you consider when buying an under bench fridge?

We have been working with restaurants for years. And we know that every establishment has its own particular needs and requirements. And before you bring in a big investment like a fridge, you need to consider some important factors: Fridge capacity The first thing you need to know is what your fridge will do. Will it act as a storage place that won’t be opened much, or will it be an active part of your cooking process? Depending on the scope of your kitchen, your fridge should be able to cope with your busiest service. All commercial units will have an overall net capacity, which refers to the usable space in the refrigerator. Make sure you check this before buying a fridge. A compact fridge is convenient for storing fewer items while keeping them fresh, like ready-to-use food or even drinks. Whereas a bigger 4-door fridge will serve as a workstation with handy storage. Size and space Underbench fridges have a space-saving design. All of them are meant to fit under standard worktops or act as a workstation themselves. The size of your fridge will depend on how much space you can spare in the kitchen and what kind of prep area you need. Door type The last factor to consider is the type of door you want. You can either have solid door fridges that are ideal for raw ingredients, or glass doors for display items like drinks and desserts. Solid doors would be suitable for the kitchen space, while glass door fridges can be used for the front of house.

Why should I get a commercial under bench fridge?

A commercial under bench fridge or under bench freezer is a valuable addition to any commercial kitchen, providing extra storage space for food and drink. Under bench fridges and freezers can be used to store chilled or frozen ingredients, as well as prepared dishes ready for service. With a compact under bench fridge or under bench freezer, you can make the most of limited space and keep your ingredients close at hand, all the while keeping your kitchen looking neat and tidy. A larger under bench fridge or under bench freezer is perfect for storing larger quantities of food and drink and preparing food that needs more ingredients or prep time. Under bench fridges and freezers are also available with features such as glass doors, which allow you to see what is inside without opening the door and losing precious cool air.

Are under bench fridges noisy?

Under bench fridges are designed to operate quietly, providing minimal disturbance in a busy kitchen environment. They feature soundproofing materials and advanced compressor technology that reduces noise levels. However, noise perception can vary from model to model, so it's advisable to check the product specifications or consult with our experts to ensure the chosen under bench fridge meets your desired noise criteria.

Are under bench fridges suitable for all types of commercial kitchens?

Indeed, under bench fridges are versatile and suitable for various commercial kitchens. From small cafes and restaurants to large-scale catering establishments, these fridges adapt well to different settings.

Can under bench fridges be easily cleaned and maintained?

Can under bench fridges be used as standalone units or as part of a larger refrigeration system?

Under bench fridges offer the flexibility to be used as standalone units or as part of a larger refrigeration system. For smaller operations, a single under bench fridge can fulfill the storage needs. However, in larger kitchens or establishments with high storage requirements, under bench fridges can be complemented with other refrigeration units, such as upright fridges or chest freezers, to create a comprehensive and efficient cooling system. The decision depends on your kitchen's size, menu variety, and anticipated storage demands.

How do I determine the right size and capacity of an under bench fridge for my kitchen?

To determine the appropriate size and capacity of an under bench fridge, consider factors such as your kitchen's available space, menu offerings, and storage requirements. Measure the dimensions of the area where the fridge will be placed, ensuring there is sufficient clearance for ventilation. Assess your food inventory and estimate the volume of items that need to be stored.

Q: Does an under counter fridge need ventilation?

As a rule, yes, all fridges need sufficient ventilation to work properly unless the manufacturer’s manual specifically mentions that this is not required. Some models are front breathing only. Generally, you need to leave a gap between the ventilation systems and walls to allow the fridge to work efficiently and prevent overheating. Ideally, leave a 20-30cm gap between the wall and the back of your under bench fridge. With under counter fridges, you don’t need to worry about any kind of overheating since many of them serve as worktops or are designed to fit into compact spaces. Whether you want to keep your vegetables and fruits fresh, or keep food chilled for a long time, or just need a handy place to store your condiments and spreads, under bench fridges are here for you!
