Product Description
The Williams Jade MJC3-SA is a three-door refrigerated counter designed specifically for meat storage in professional kitchen environments. Unlike a standard chilled counter, it operates within the tighter temperature band required for safe raw meat holding, making it a distinct choice rather than a general-purpose workhorse. The 469-litre capacity is distributed across three individually sealed sections, allowing kitchen teams to organise by cut, species, or service period without compromising temperature stability across the unit.
In a working kitchen, the real test of any meat fridge is how well it holds temperature when doors are opened repeatedly during a busy service. The Jade's airflow system is designed to maintain even cooling throughout the cabinet interior, recovering quickly after door openings rather than allowing warm zones to develop. The self-closing magnetic gaskets help here too — doors that seal reliably every time reduce the temperature recovery burden on the refrigeration circuit, which matters both for food safety and for energy consumption over time.
From an operational standpoint, this counter offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Barrel-locked doors add a layer of security for high-value meat stock
- The CoolSmart controller with IP55-rated display is robust enough for humid, busy kitchen conditions
- Self-closing doors reduce the risk of inadvertent temperature drift during service
- Counter-height format allows the unit to double as a prep surface above
- Quiet operation keeps the working environment manageable
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this class, but it is worth confirming that your kitchen layout allows adequate clearance at the rear and sides for condenser airflow. Like all refrigerated counters, performance can be affected by positioning near high-heat equipment such as ranges or fryers — if that is a consideration in your kitchen, it is worth discussing placement before committing. Standard electrical connection is required; no specialist supply is typically needed, but always verify with your installer.
The MJC3-SA is well suited to butchers' preparation areas, hotel and restaurant kitchens with dedicated meat sections, and catering operations where raw meat volumes justify dedicated temperature-controlled storage. For smaller kitchens or lower meat throughput, a single- or two-door configuration may be a more proportionate choice. Equally, high-volume production sites with very large daily meat intake might benefit from a full-height cabinet or a larger counter solution.
If you are working out whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service volume, our team is happy to work through it with you before you proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- As a dedicated meat refrigerated counter, it is designed to operate within the temperature range appropriate for raw meat storage. Mixing raw and cooked products in the same unit raises food safety and cross-contamination concerns — in most professional kitchens, raw and ready-to-eat items are stored separately. If you need to accommodate both, a separate chilled counter or dedicated cooked-meat storage would be the more appropriate approach.
- Refrigerated counters rely on adequate airflow around the condenser to reject heat efficiently, so positioning against a solid wall with insufficient rear clearance can reduce performance over time. Placing the unit directly adjacent to a range, fryer, or other high-heat appliance will also increase the load on the refrigeration circuit. If your kitchen layout makes ideal placement difficult, it is worth discussing the specifics with us or your installation engineer before the unit is sited.
- The three-door format suits operations with higher meat stock volumes or where separating different products — by species, cut, or service day — is operationally useful. For kitchens with more modest throughput or limited run of bench space, a two-door version is likely a more proportionate fit and will take up less floor footprint. If you are unsure which configuration matches your service volume, we are happy to help you work through it.
