Engineered for busy commercial bars, front-of-house service stations, and food prep lines, this heavy-duty underbar chiller maintains a strict 2°C to 6°C temperature range while delivering an easy-to-clean prep counter.
The unit is constructed with commercial-grade 430 satin-finish stainless steel across the top, front, and sides, insulated with high-density injected polyurethane foam for dependable thermal efficiency. Heavy-duty self-closing hinges and magnetic perimeter gaskets ensure an airtight seal after every grab. Equipped with an internal auto-evaporation drainage system, bright internal LED lighting, and lockable heavy-duty castors, this plug-and-play workstation offers convenience, hygiene, and durability for South African food service operations.

Q: What is the main benefit of the “hamper” (rear splashback) on this glass-door underbar unit?
A: The hamper is an integrated vertical rear stainless steel lip that sits flush against your kitchen or back-bar wall. It stops liquid splashes, bottles, garnishes, and food debris from falling down behind the cabinet, ensuring clean, hygienic operations and preventing grease or grime accumulation against back walls.
Q: How do glass doors improve service efficiency in a busy bar or kitchen?
A: Glass doors allow bartenders and staff to locate specific drinks, wines, or prepped items before opening the fridge. This significantly reduces the time doors remain open, keeping internal temperatures consistent, lowering electricity usage, and speeding up beverage service during peak trading hours.
Q: Does this underbar fridge need to be connected to a floor drain?
A: No plumbing or drainage connection is needed. The unit is equipped with an internal auto-evaporation pan located near the condensing unit, which uses the compressor’s natural operating heat to evaporate defrost meltwater automatically, keeping floors completely dry and hazard-free.
Designed for high-traffic food service and hospitality environments, this hamper-top display chiller prevents bottles, food crumbs, and liquids from sliding down behind the unit into hard-to-reach floor spaces. Its double-glazed tempered safety glass doors allow bartenders and kitchen staff to check inventory levels at a glance without opening the doors, reducing cold air loss and lowering compressor run-times.
Breakthrough technology replaces a conventional thermostat with an advanced electronic energy management system to cool quicker and maintain a more consistent temperature, while saving precious electricity.
By combining EMD control with ECM fans, electronic expansion valves and high-performance coils, we are able to further reduce energy consumption while improving cooling performance.
Our innovative swift swop™ technology enables easy replacement of the refrigeration deck without unpacking the contents of the fridge and without any skilled labour.
