EP1 3M Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/3M is a three-door refrigerated counter unit designed specifically for meat storage in commercial kitchen environments. It operates within the temperature range required for raw meat holding, making it suitable for butchery counters, prep kitchens, and any operation where correctly chilled meat storage is a food safety priority rather than an afterthought.
In service, the G3 counter is built to maintain consistent temperatures even in warm or busy kitchen environments, performing reliably in ambient conditions up to 43°C. The Airlines ventilation system manages compressor cooling efficiently, which reduces unnecessary running time and keeps energy consumption in check over a long service day. Recovery after door opening — a practical consideration in any busy prep kitchen — is handled well by the high-performance insulation foam, which retains thermal efficiency over the product's working life.
From an operational standpoint, the G3 generation brings a number of practical improvements worth noting:
- The +stayclear condenser resists build-up, helping to maintain energy efficiency over time without constant maintenance intervention.
- PureControl LED display provides clear temperature monitoring and is connectivity-ready with an optional gateway for remote monitoring.
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers provides durability at the highest-wear contact points.
- A fully floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of lock damage during heavy daily use.
- The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning without disconnecting permanently.
The three-door format provides a substantial working footprint at counter height, so it is worth confirming your available run of worktop and the position of adjacent equipment before ordering. The unit requires a clear condenser airflow path to operate at its rated efficiency — installations in confined or poorly ventilated areas should be assessed carefully. Access for occasional condenser cleaning should also be factored into placement decisions.
This counter is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens, hotel operations, and catering facilities where dedicated meat storage at prep counter height is a practical necessity. It is particularly appropriate where food safety compliance around raw meat temperature control is closely monitored. For smaller operations with lower storage demands, a single- or double-door variant may be a more proportionate choice; for high-volume sites handling significant meat throughput daily, it is worth discussing whether additional or larger-capacity units would serve better.
If you are unsure whether this configuration fits your kitchen layout, workflow, or storage volumes, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

EP1 3M Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the EP1/3M is specifically configured for meat storage, operating within the temperature range required for safe raw meat holding. It is a common choice in hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and butchery prep areas where dedicated, correctly chilled meat storage is a food safety requirement.
- The unit needs adequate airflow around the condenser to operate at its rated efficiency, so avoid positioning it hard against walls or in enclosed alcoves without ventilation clearance. You should also ensure the surrounding floor and counter run can accommodate the unit's footprint and allow access for periodic condenser cleaning. If your kitchen space is tight or the layout is complex, it is worth discussing placement before ordering.
- The three-door configuration provides a longer counter run and greater storage capacity, which suits kitchens with higher meat storage volumes or where multiple sections of a prep line need access simultaneously. If your operation is smaller or your storage requirement is more modest, a single- or double-door counter unit would likely be a more practical and cost-effective fit.
