Polar U-Series Double Door Pizza Counter Granite Top 428Ltr

The Polar U-Series double door pizza prep counter is a refrigerated preparation station designed specifically for pizza and flatbread operations. It combines a large-capacity refrigerated base with a solid granite worktop — a practical choice for kitchens that need a dedicated, consistently cool surface for dough work alongside chilled ingredient storage directly beneath.

In a busy pizza kitchen, reliable temperature maintenance during service is critical. The U-Series uses forced air cooling to hold a consistent chill across the full internal capacity, even in ambient kitchen temperatures up to 43°C (Climate Class 5). This makes it a practical option for hot kitchens where lesser equipment can struggle to recover quickly between door openings during peak service. The 428-litre total capacity provides meaningful storage for ingredient preparation at volume, keeping toppings, sauces, and portioned dough close to hand without frequent restocking runs.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this unit are:

• Granite worktop stays naturally cool, supporting dough handling without additional chilling measures
• Forced air cooling distributes temperature evenly across the full interior
• A energy rating reduces running costs compared to older or lower-rated equivalents
• Stainless steel construction handles the demands of regular cleaning and heavy daily use
• Climate Class 5 rating means reliable performance in hot kitchen environments

At 1510mm wide and 257kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment that requires proper floor loading consideration and adequate space within the prep line. It is a freestanding unit and should be positioned with sufficient clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. Electrical connection requirements should be confirmed with your installer prior to delivery. The unit uses R600a refrigerant.

This counter is well suited to independent pizzerias, restaurant kitchens with a dedicated pizza section, and takeaway operations turning out consistent volumes through service. It is less suited to occasional or light-use environments where a smaller single-door prep counter would be more proportionate. For very high-volume operations running continuous double shifts, a heavier-duty unit with greater throughput capacity may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your prep line layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you order.
