Polar U-Series Triple Door Refrigerated Gastronorm Saladette Counter

The Polar U-Series triple door saladette counter is a refrigerated prep unit designed to keep ingredients cold and accessible during service. The glass surround allows staff to see the contents at a glance, while the gastronorm-compatible top accepts standard GN containers — keeping prepped ingredients within easy reach without breaking the cold chain. The unit runs on R600a refrigerant and maintains a working temperature range suited to fresh produce, dressings, and proteins held ready for service.

In a busy kitchen environment, this type of counter earns its place on a pizza or salad prep line where ingredients need to stay at temperature for extended service periods. The three-door configuration provides a generous amount of accessible cold storage beneath the prep surface, giving kitchen teams the capacity to store backup ingredients close to the point of use. The stainless steel construction holds up well under the routine wear of a working kitchen and is straightforward to wipe down between services.

From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are:

• Ingredients held within arm's reach at the prep surface, reducing movement during service
• GN-compatible top accepts standard containers, working with existing mise en place systems
• Three separate doors allow zoned access, limiting temperature disruption when opening
• Stainless steel exterior is durable and easy to clean to food safety standards
• Under-counter storage provides meaningful backup capacity directly below the prep area

At 1795mm wide and 106kg, this is a substantial unit that requires a level, stable surface and adequate clearance for door swing and ventilation. It runs on a standard mains supply. GN containers are not included and will need to be sourced separately to suit your specific prep requirements. The unit is best positioned in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources such as ovens or fryers, which could compromise refrigeration efficiency.

This counter is well suited to pizza restaurants, sandwich bars, salad prep kitchens, and any operation running a structured mise en place service where fresh ingredients need to be held cold and immediately accessible. It is sized for medium to high throughput service. Smaller single or twin-door options exist for kitchens with tighter space or lower prep volumes, and higher-capacity configurations are available for larger operations where a single three-door unit may not be sufficient.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your prep workflow or available space, our team is happy to talk through the specifics before you commit to an order.
