Maximize back-of-house efficiency and durability with this heavy-duty solid door commercial chiller. The stainless steel door underbar fridge is precision-engineered to withstand demanding kitchen environments while maintaining a strict 2°C to 6°C cold chain. Built with high-grade 430 stainless steel and solid insulated doors, it minimizes heat transfer, reduces compressor load, and provides an ultra-rugged worktop surface for high-volume prep work.
The unit features heavy-duty top and bottom door hinges built to endure constant opening cycles, along with ergonomic built-in door handles for quick access. Integrated with a smart auto-evaporation system, it automatically dissipates condensate water without requiring external drainage lines. Complete with heavy-duty brake castors for easy mobility and cleaning, this plug-and-play underbar unit is a workhorse built for the demands of the South African hospitality sector.

Electrical Configuration: Standard 220V–240V / 50Hz single-phase plug-and-play setup
Q: What is the main advantage of solid stainless steel doors over glass doors for kitchen use?
A: Solid stainless steel doors offer superior insulation because the injected polyurethane core blocks radiant heat from nearby ovens, fryers, and cooktops much more effectively than glass. They also hide kitchen prep clutter and are easier to wipe down in busy culinary settings.
Q: Can the flat stainless steel top be used as an active food preparation table?
A: Yes. The top surface is fabricated from heavy-gauge 430 satin-finish stainless steel and reinforced underneath with high-density foam, making it sturdy, sanitary, and fully rated for food prep, plating, or placing countertop equipment.
Q: Does this underbar fridge require plumbing for drainage?
A: No external plumbing is required. The unit is equipped with a built-in auto-evaporation pan that collects defrost condensate and uses excess heat from the compressor to evaporate the water automatically, keeping your kitchen floors dry and compliant.
Designed specifically for high-capacity commercial bars, restaurant back-of-house kitchens, and catering prep stations, this plain-top underbar chiller delivers uncompromised thermal efficiency. Unlike glass-door units, its high-density polyurethane-injected solid stainless steel doors provide maximum insulation against hot cooking lines and busy kitchen ambient temperatures.
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.
