Glacian HPB1815DD Deep Drawer Pizza Prep Fridge 416L

The Glacian HPB1815DD is the drawer version of the pizza prep range: 1815 mm wide, 416 L, with two sets of drawers instead of doors and a well taking 9 x 1/3 GN pans (pans not supplied). It holds 2°C to 5°C and is rated for a 43°C room.

Why operators choose the HPB1815DD

• Monoblock with a removable condenser filter — the refrigeration is one serviceable block and the condenser filter pulls out for cleaning. A blocked condenser is the usual reason a prep fridge stops holding temperature in a hot kitchen, and this one can be cleaned by the kitchen rather than by a contractor.
• Rated to a 43°C room — that is the ambient temperature the cabinet is specified to keep working in - the number that matters when a prep fridge sits on a pizza line beside an oven.
• 304 stainless inside and out, rounded internal corners — 304 is the grade that resists the acids in tomato and brine; the rounded corners are there so the well can actually be cleaned out rather than just wiped.
• Removable well and sliding pan covers — the well lifts out to reach the places a fixed well hides, and the polycarbonate covers slide rather than lift, so the line keeps working with the covers on.
• R290 refrigerant — a hydrocarbon refrigerant with very low global warming potential. Tell your refrigeration contractor before a service call, as handling differs from the HFC blends.
• Drawers instead of doors — a drawer brings the product out to the cook rather than making the cook reach into the cabinet, and it loses far less cold air per opening than a door swung wide mid-service. This cabinet has two sets.
• A stated 2°C to 5°C holding band — the operating range is specified rather than left as 'refrigerated', which is what a council inspection and a HACCP record need to see.
• Nylon cutting board across the front — included, and it takes overall depth from 760 mm to 830 mm. Set the aisle out to 830 mm.
• The larger cabinet in the range — the HPB1152 is the 1152 mm single-door version with 216 L and a five-pan well.

Specifications

Venue suitability

Suits high-volume pizzerias and pasta kitchens running two cooks on one bench, and any prep line where drawers beat doors because the cabinet is opened constantly through service. At 1815 mm it needs a committed run of bench.
