Tefcold PT1300 Three Door Pizza Prep Counter 580 Ltr

The Tefcold PT1300 is a three door refrigerated pizza preparation counter designed to keep toppings, doughs, and sauces at safe working temperatures directly at the point of assembly. With 580 litres of refrigerated storage across three sections and a granite worktop providing a durable, easy-to-clean preparation surface, it is built around the workflow of a busy pizza operation rather than adapted from a general-purpose saladette.

In a working kitchen, the real value of a unit like this is in how it supports service pace. Toppings stay accessible and correctly tempered throughout a shift without needing constant restocking from a remote fridge, and the ventilated cooling system maintains consistent temperatures even when the doors are being opened frequently during a busy period. Automatic defrost reduces the manual intervention required from kitchen staff overnight, which matters in high-turnover environments where maintenance tasks compete with preparation time.

Operationally, the PT1300 offers several practical advantages worth noting:

• Three independent door sections keep ingredients organised by station or topping type
• Granite worktop withstands heavy rolling and cutting use without deterioration
• Self-closing doors reduce temperature fluctuation and energy waste during service
• Adjustable legs allow levelling on uneven kitchen floors
• Tray capacity across all three sections supports high-volume prep without mid-service restocking

As a counter-height unit, it sits at standard preparation height and integrates naturally into a pizza assembly line. It requires a standard mains electrical connection and adequate clearance for ventilation — the exact spacing requirements are worth confirming before installation, particularly in tight kitchen layouts. The unit carries a reasonable footprint for its storage volume, but the combined weight means siting should be considered carefully if the floor loading is a concern.

The PT1300 is well suited to independent pizzerias, fast-casual restaurants with a pizza offering, and takeaway operations running a sustained service. For very high-volume sites producing pizza at pace across multiple stations, it is worth considering whether a unit with greater tray capacity or additional sections would better match the throughput required. For smaller operations, a single or two door prep counter may be a more proportionate fit.
