Atosa VRX GN1/4 x 7 Glass Salad Bench Countertop Prep Fridge 1500/330 ESL3883

The Atosa VRX ESL3883 is a 1500mm countertop prep fridge with a glass sneeze canopy, built for salad bars, kebab shops, pizza stations, and food trucks where prep ingredients need to stay cold and visible at the pass. The compact 330mm depth and refrigerated bank of 7 × GN 1/4 pans make it perfect as a stand-alone prep unit or as a bolt-on above a marble-topped pizza prep fridge.

Key features

• 7 × GN 1/4 pan capacity — holds a standard bank of prep ingredients (pans sold separately, standard GN 1/4 size fits any third-party pan)
• Glass sneeze guard canopy — meets food-service hygiene requirements at the pass and keeps ingredient visibility for staff
• Italian Dixell digital controller — precise temperature control with front digital readout
• Stainless steel exterior + interior — full 304-grade build for wipe-down cleaning and daily commercial handling
• Static cooling system — suited to consistent prep-pan cooling; no forced air dry-out of ingredients
• 1500 × 330 × 435mm footprint — narrow depth fits standard pass benches

Specifications

Installation notes

Frequently asked questions

Q: What GN pan size does this fridge take, and how many fit? A: The VRX ESL3883 holds 7 × GN 1/4 pans (standard Gastronorm 1/4 size, approximately 265 × 162 mm per pan). Pans are sold separately so you can choose polycarbonate (for cold salad prep) or stainless steel (for heavier wet ingredients). Any third-party GN 1/4 pan will fit.

Q: Can I put this on top of a pizza prep fridge to add more toppings? A: Yes — the VRX range is designed to pair with Atosa's marble-topped pizza prep fridges, adding a refrigerated second tier of ingredient pans above the benchtop. Confirm the lower fridge's top-load rating and width (1500mm) match before ordering.

Q: Is the glass sneeze guard removable for cleaning? A: The glass canopy lifts off for end-of-day cleaning and can be washed in a standard sink. Check the supplier's cleaning guide for the correct angle — forcing the glass off the wrong way can chip the edges.

Q: How cold does it get, and is it good for raw protein like sliced chicken? A: The VRX is engineered for prep-bank temperatures (typically 2–8 °C holding, per Atosa specs). For raw protein, ensure the ingredient is pre-chilled in your walk-in or upright fridge before going into a VRX prep pan, and don't hold it longer than the time stated in your food-safety plan.

Q: Will it fit in a standard food truck counter? A: Yes — the 330mm depth is the key selling point for food trucks where counter depth is tight. The 1500mm width suits mid-sized trucks; smaller trucks may need the 900mm or 1200mm VRX variants (same range, different widths).

Q: What's the warranty? A: 2 years parts and labour is the stated Atosa cover. Some listings also reference extended parts-only cover — confirm the exact terms with our sales team at 1300 000 927 before purchase if extended parts matter for your purchase decision.
