Thermaster Three Door Sandwich Bar SLB150

The Thermaster SLB150 is a three-door sandwich prep bar with 340 litres gross of refrigerated storage below and a 7 x 1/3 GN pan top above, holding 2 to 8 °C on cross-flow pan cooling. It includes a PE cutting board and gives a 300 mm deep working area. Important: the top is a holding unit, not a chiller — product must be pre-chilled below 5 °C before it goes in, and the pan lid must stay on. Pans are not included.

Why operators choose the SLB150

• The pan top HOLDS, it does not chill — product must be pre-chilled to below 5 degrees C before filling and the pan lid must be used to maintain temperature. Load warm product and the top will not bring it down - this is the single most misunderstood thing about a prep bar
• 340 L gross under the bench — real reserve storage under the prep top, so stock does not live in a separate fridge across the kitchen
• Cross-flow pan cooling — air moves across the pans rather than only around the cabinet, which is what keeps the top of the pan at temperature and not just the bottom
• 300 mm deep working area with a PE cutting board included — a genuine prep surface, and the board is supplied rather than sold separately
• Takes 7 x 1/3 GN pans at 150 mm deep — standard gastronorm, so pans and lids are off-the-shelf. Pans are NOT included - order them with the unit
• Secop compressor with fan-forced evaporator cooling — a named compressor brand a refrigeration mechanic can source parts for
• Digital temperature control with a read-out — you can see the cabinet temperature rather than trusting a dial
• Rounded internal corners, stainless interior and exterior — designed to be cleaned properly, which is what a health inspector looks at
• Auto defrost and self-evaporating drainage — no defrost routine and no drain to plumb
• On castors — rolls out for cleaning behind, which on a 1500 mm unit matters

Specifications

Venue suitability

The SLB150 suits sandwich bars, cafes, delis, pizzerias and noodle shops assembling to order from a chilled pan top. At 1500 mm wide it replaces a bench plus a separate under-counter fridge. Make sure your workflow pre-chills product before it reaches the top.

Installation & delivery

It draws 390 W at 240 V, so no special wiring is required. Drainage is self-evaporating, so there is no waste line to plumb. At 128 kg it is a two-person move and it rolls on castors once in place. Order gastronorm pans separately — the top takes 7 x 1/3 GN pans at 150 mm deep and they are not included. Build the pre-chill step into your prep routine: the top holds temperature, it does not pull product down to it.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can I put room-temperature product straight into the pan top?

No. The manufacturer is explicit that the top is a holding unit and product needs to be pre-chilled to below 5 degrees C before filling. The pan lid must also be used to maintain the correct operating temperature. Loading warm product will not bring it down and will push the whole top out of temperature.

Q: Are the gastronorm pans included?

No. The top takes 7 x 1/3 GN pans at 150 mm deep, and they are ordered separately. The PE cutting board and the pan lid are included.

Q: How much storage is under the bench?

340 litres gross, laid out as one level of shelving plus a floor across the three doors.

Q: Does it need special wiring or plumbing?

Neither. It draws 390 W at 240 V from a standard supply, and drainage is self-evaporating so there is no waste line to run.

Q: What temperature does it hold?

2 to 8 degrees C, controlled digitally with a read-out, using cross-flow pan cooling and a fan-forced evaporator.

Q: What warranty does the SLB150 come with?

Covered for 2 years on parts and labour. A further two years of parts-only cover applies only if you register the product within 14 days of invoice — miss that window and the extension does not apply. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
