Thermaster Two Door Cold Bench Salad Station 6x1/1 GN Pans PG210FA-XB

The Thermaster PG210FA-XB is a refrigerated salad station holding 6 x 1/1 GN pans at +1 to +5 °C, with cassette cooling and cross-flow "blown well" airflow. This is a HOLDING unit, not a chiller. The source is explicit: product must be pre-chilled to below 5 °C before it goes in the top section. It will keep cold product cold; it will not bring warm product down, and loading it warm is how a food-safety record goes wrong.

Why operators choose the PG210FA-XB

• Pre-chill below 5 °C before loading — the well holds temperature, it does not pull it down, so the chilling step has to happen upstream in a fridge or blast chiller. Worth designing the prep flow around, because it is the difference between a compliant temperature log and a failed one
• GN pans are NOT included, and pans and dividers must be fitted AT ALL TIMES — that is an operating requirement from the source, not a suggestion. Running the well with an open gap changes the airflow the cabinet depends on
• The door count is not something we can tell you. This product's title says two door and its own description says three door. Two of our records for the same cabinet disagree, so we are not going to pick one — ask us and we will confirm it with the supplier before you order
• Removable stainless steel board under the pans to catch anything dropped — it lifts out to be washed rather than being a crevice you clean around
• "Blown well" cross-flow fan cooling with a cassette system — the refrigeration deck lifts out as a unit, which turns a compressor failure into a swap rather than a strip-down, and the cross-flow is what keeps the far end of the well as cold as the near end
• Auto defrost on its own control button and automatic condensation evaporation — no drip tray to remember
• 220 mm deep PE chopping board included — in the box
• Digital temperature control and read-out, hinged cabinet doors, and a storage shelf inside the refrigerated cabinet
• Fits GN pans up to 150 mm deep, 1000 L gross
• Ambient rating recorded as "38/50" — 38 °C is the ambient ceiling; the second figure is presumably 50% relative humidity but the source does not write it as a quantity, so we are not going to assert it
• 240 V at 708 W / 10 A, on castors, all stainless steel
• 154 kg
• 2 years parts and labour, plus a further 2 years parts only — but the second period is conditional on registering the product within 14 days of invoice. Register it or you have the 2-year term, not the 4-year one
• The PG150FA-XG is the 4-pan unit with a glass canopy — 1460 mm wide and 1280 mm high

Specifications

Venue suitability

A refrigerated prep bench suits sandwich bars, salad counters, noodle bars and any line assembling to order from chilled components — the well holds the toppings and the cabinet underneath holds the back-up. Because it is a holding unit, it belongs downstream of a fridge, not instead of one.

Installation & delivery

Plugs into a 240 V outlet at 708 W / 10 A. Dimensions are recorded width x depth x height: 2140 x 790 x 845 mm, and at 154 kg it is a delivery to plan rather than a lift. It arrives on castors. The ambient ceiling is 38 °C — our record adds a second figure, "50", which is presumably relative humidity, but it is not written as a quantity so we have published only the temperature. Before it goes into service: this is a holding unit. Product must be pre-chilled below 5 °C before it goes in the top, and pans and dividers must be fitted at all times.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How many doors does it have?

We cannot tell you, and we would rather say so than guess. This product's title says two door and its own description says three door - two of our own records for the same cabinet disagree. Contact us and we will confirm the configuration with the supplier before you order, because on a 2140 mm bench the door layout decides how you load it.

Q: Will it chill food down?

No. It is a holding unit: the source requires product to be pre-chilled below 5 C before it goes into the top section. It holds cold product cold through a service; it will not pull warm product down, and loading it warm is a food-safety problem rather than a slow one.

Q: Are the pans included?

No, and pans and dividers must be fitted at all times - that is an operating requirement from the source, not housekeeping. The well is cooled by cross-flow air and an open gap changes the airflow the cabinet depends on.

Q: How does it compare to the PG150FA-XG?

Size and format. This is the 6-pan bench at 2140 mm, 1000 L and 845 mm high - a flat-topped prep bench. The PG150FA-XG is 4 pans at 1460 mm and 600 L but stands 1280 mm high because it carries a tempered glass canopy and sliding serving doors. So it is not simply a smaller version; one is a display and one is a workbench.

Q: What warranty does it come with?

Two years parts and labour, and then a further two years parts only - but the second period only exists if you register the product within 14 days of the invoice. We state the condition every time because without it the cover is two years, not four. See our warranty information page for the full terms.
