Check out Australia’s premier range of under bench freezers for your commercial kitchen.
For commercial kitchens with limited space, an under-counter freezer is an ideal solution. With their ability to tuck neatly beneath counters or worktops, under bench freezers maximise available floor space without becoming an obstruction to your staff. When paired with an under-counter fridge, these units make sure frozen and chilled ingredients are kept nearby and accessible.
A commercial under bench freezer is designed to survive daily use in busy catering areas and is more powerful than a household counterpart. For kitchens with fitted worktops, you could not find a better way to utilise space and have ingredients nearby. While double-door and bigger units are longer but have a significantly higher storage capacity, single-door under bench freezers can neatly fit into small spaces.
These are the top FAQs for Under Bench Freezers in 2023
What is a commercial under bench freezer and how is it different from a regular freezer?
A commercial under bench freezer, also known as an undercounter freezer, is specially designed for use in commercial kitchens. Unlike regular freezers, these units are compact and can fit underneath countertops, maximizing kitchen space efficiency. They are built to withstand heavy-duty use and are equipped with powerful compressors, ensuring optimal temperature control for food storage.
Why should I buy an under bench freezer?
An under bench freezer is a multipurpose appliance that allows you to conserve space while having an additional capacity for your frozen foods. The bench workspace on top means that you can use this area for food preparation. In a busy café or restaurant, under-bench freezers are very useful for clearing away clutter and trip risks and making life easier. Not to mention, you will quickly notice when stock is running low because the freezer is right under your workspace.
The under bench worktop freezers are available in sizes from 200L to 500L (Both GN size or Patisserie tray sized door options available), so there's one for every size kitchen space. The internal corners are rounded to make them easy to clean, and they have lockable doors and (some have) internal lighting to make it easier to see what you're looking for when you're in a hurry. Most models also come with castor wheels so they're easy to move around.
Do under-counter freezers need ventilation?
Just like any other commercial freezer, commercial under-counter freezers need ventilation on the sides around the cooling system. Proper ventilation is essential for commercial under-counter freezers to function properly and keep food fresh. If the freezer is not properly ventilated, the lack of airflow will cause more heat to build up inside, causing the freezer to work harder and use more energy. Additionally, the build-up of heat will also cause the cooling system to work harder, requiring more icing up on the cooling system and therefore frequent defrosting.
In most cases, commercial freezers require ventilation on the sides and rear. Certain models are specifically designed to require front ventilation only, meaning the freezer can butt-up right against walls, as it only takes in air from the front. Always read the product description and manual before purchasing and make sure you have the right freezer for the right application and space in your kitchen.
How can I choose the right under bench freezer?
There are a few things you'll want to keep in mind when choosing a commercial under bench freezer for your business. First, think about the size of the space you have available. You'll also want to consider how much storage capacity you need. If you're only going to be using the freezer occasionally, a smaller model may be sufficient. However, if you anticipate needing to store large quantities of food, you'll need a larger commercial freezer, like a triple-door freezer.
Four door under bench freezers generally are not available, as we have found in the past that it is very difficult to get the fourth door compartment as cold as the other sections. For this reason, most brands do not produce or import this size freezer and the largest models are generally 3 doors or 1.8m length only. If you require more frozen space, we recommend getting two x two door freezers which will ensure all compartments are adequately cold.
You also have to consider what you will be storing in the freezer. They can be used for almost anything—food, drinks, or anything else that needs to be kept cold. For food, you’ll need a freezer with more storage, depending on the size of the trays, boxes or other containers used. For other products, you’ll need a freezer with shelves or removable drawers. For Ice cream and other foods generally stored in GN trays, these are compatible with GN size freezers, so the trays simply slide in and out in place of the shelves, very convenient!
You can also consider other features, such as internal lighting and lockable doors. Ultimately, the right choice for your business will depend on your specific needs and budget. Restaurant Equipment Online has commercial under bench freezers that cater to every size, capacity and price point. You can easily find a model that suits your kitchen. And you can even place these appliances in the front-of-house area.
Are under bench freezers a good value for money?
Absolutely! Under bench freezers offer excellent value for money due to their durability, energy efficiency, and space-saving design. By investing in a high-quality unit that meets your kitchen's needs, you ensure that your ingredients remain fresh, minimize food waste, and optimize operational efficiency. The initial investment pays off in the long run, making under bench freezers a wise choice for commercial kitchens.
Are under bench freezers energy-efficient?
Yes, most under bench freezers are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Look for models with high-quality insulation and efficient compressors to minimize energy consumption. Our range includes several energy-efficient options that not only help reduce utility bills but also contribute to a sustainable kitchen environment.
Are under bench freezers suitable for storing different types of food?
Absolutely! Under bench freezers are designed to accommodate a wide range of food items, such as meats, seafood, frozen desserts, and vegetables. They provide excellent temperature control and can maintain optimal freezing conditions, preserving the flavor, quality, and freshness of your products.
Can an under bench freezer be used in any commercial kitchen?
Absolutely! Under bench freezers are versatile and suitable for various commercial kitchen settings, including restaurants, cafes, bars, and catering businesses. Whether you run a bustling restaurant or a cozy bakery, these units provide excellent freezing capabilities for all your perishable goods.
Can I use an under bench freezer as a standalone unit or as part of a freezer system?
Under bench freezers can function as standalone units or be integrated into a larger freezer system, depending on your kitchen's requirements. Some establishments find it beneficial to have multiple units strategically placed throughout the kitchen for easy access, while others may opt for a centralized freezer system. Determine your specific needs to make an informed purchasing decision.
How can I determine the quality and durability of an under bench freezer?
When assessing the quality of an under bench freezer, consider factors such as the materials used in its construction, the reputation of the manufacturer, and customer reviews. Look for units made with durable stainless steel or high-quality aluminum, as these materials ensure longevity and ease of cleaning. Investing in a reputable brand with positive feedback from other users is key to obtaining a durable product.
How do I ensure proper maintenance of an under bench freezer?
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. It involves cleaning the interior regularly, defrosting when necessary, and checking the condenser coils for dust buildup. We recommend referring to the manufacturer's instructions for specific maintenance guidelines. Investing in a unit with user-friendly features simplifies maintenance tasks, saving you time and effort.
What features should I consider when purchasing an under bench freezer?
When shopping for an under bench freezer, consider features such as adjustable temperature control, interior lighting, removable shelves, and lockable doors. Additionally, take note of factors like noise level, warranty options, and brand reputation. By assessing these aspects, you can make an informed decision and ensure that the unit meets your kitchen's needs.
What size of under bench freezer should I choose for my kitchen?
The size of the under bench freezer you should select depends on your kitchen's specific needs. Consider factors such as the volume of food you need to store, available space, and the layout of your kitchen. We offer a range of sizes, from compact models with smaller storage capacities to larger units that can accommodate higher volumes of food. Assess your requirements carefully to determine the best fit.
