Foster Refrigerated Cabinets

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700H is a single-door upright refrigerator offering 600 litres of usable chilled storage. It sits within Foster's EcoPro G3 cabinet range — a line built with energy efficiency and long-term operational reliability as core engineering priorities rather than afterthoughts. Full stainless steel construction meets the hygiene and robustness standards expected in a working professional kitchen.

Consistent temperature retention under the variable conditions of a busy service is what separates a dependable refrigerator from a source of risk. The G3 uses cyclopentane foam insulation to sustain thermal efficiency throughout the cabinet's working life, which reduces unnecessary compressor cycling during heavy service periods. The +stayclear condenser is designed to resist the grease and dust accumulation that is common in commercial kitchens where airflow around equipment is rarely ideal — this helps maintain efficient running and reduces the likelihood of engineer call-outs to restore performance.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, this cabinet offers several practical advantages:

• A-rated energy performance helps keep electricity running costs down across the cabinet's working life
• PureControl LED controller provides a clear, accurate temperature readout with minimal power draw
• Improved Airlines ventilation reduces compressor running time when ambient kitchen temperatures rise
• 304 stainless steel on doors and contact surfaces holds up well at the points subject to the most daily wear
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without disconnecting from the socket

Installation is straightforward, but adequate clearance around the condenser is important — the ventilation system needs sufficient airflow to perform as designed. The cabinet is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it appropriate for kitchens where proximity to cooking equipment or seasonal heat raises background temperatures. It is worth confirming your available floor space and ventilation conditions before ordering, as positioning the unit in a poorly ventilated recess will limit performance regardless of specification.

This refrigerator suits mid-size operations well — restaurant back-of-house, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and contract catering sites where a dependable, energy-conscious upright cabinet is needed without the footprint of a multi-door unit. For high-volume sites with significant chilled goods throughput, a higher-capacity cabinet may be the more practical choice. Where floor space is the primary constraint, a counter or undercounter unit from the same G3 range may be worth considering.

If you are working through your refrigeration requirements and want to talk through which configuration best suits your kitchen's layout and service demands, the team is happy to help.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/3M is a three-door refrigerated counter designed specifically for raw meat storage in commercial kitchen environments. It sits at standard prep counter height, keeping correctly chilled meat accessible during service while supporting compliance with food safety temperature requirements. This is a purpose-built meat unit, not a general-purpose counter fridge, and that distinction matters in kitchens where raw meat segregation is a regulatory obligation.

Temperature consistency under working conditions is where this unit earns its place in a professional kitchen. The G3 is engineered to hold stable temperatures throughout a full service day, including in warm ambient environments where lesser units can struggle. Recovery after repeated door openings — a genuine concern in any active prep kitchen — is supported by high-performance insulation that retains its thermal properties across the unit's working life. The Airlines ventilation system manages compressor cooling efficiently, reducing unnecessary run time during long shifts.

The G3 generation brings several practical improvements worth noting:

• The +stayclear condenser resists build-up, helping maintain energy efficiency without frequent maintenance intervention.
• PureControl LED display provides clear temperature monitoring and supports optional remote connectivity for oversight across multiple units.
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers stands up reliably to the impact and wear of a busy kitchen environment.
• A fully floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of door damage under heavy daily use.
• The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning without a full electrical disconnection.

The three-door format occupies a substantial run of counter space, so confirming available worktop length and the position of adjacent equipment before ordering is sensible. The unit requires unobstructed condenser airflow to operate efficiently — placements in confined or poorly ventilated areas should be assessed before installation, and access for routine condenser cleaning should factor into positioning decisions.

This counter is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens, hotel operations, butchery preparation areas, and catering facilities where dedicated meat storage at counter height is both a practical and regulatory requirement. Smaller operations with more modest raw meat storage needs may find a single- or two-door variant a more proportionate fit. For high-throughput sites handling significant daily meat volumes, it is worth discussing whether additional units or a higher-capacity configuration would better serve the operation.

If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout, your storage volumes, or your compliance setup, our team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2M is a two-door under-counter refrigerator built specifically for raw meat storage in commercial kitchen environments. Rather than pressing a general-purpose fridge into service for meat holding, this unit operates within the temperature range required for dedicated raw meat compliance, sitting at prep counter height where it remains accessible without interrupting kitchen workflow.

The G3 counter range has a solid track record in busy kitchens for holding consistent temperatures through service. Foster's improved ventilation design allows the compressor to run more efficiently in warm kitchen environments — a genuine consideration in kitchens where ambient temperatures can climb substantially during a busy service. The +stayclear condenser resists build-up over time, which reduces the likelihood of engineer callouts and helps the unit maintain efficiency across its working life.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 offers several practical advantages:

• Counter-height design integrates into prep areas without disrupting kitchen layout
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers withstands heavy daily use and cleans down quickly
• PureControl LED display is easy to read in a demanding kitchen environment
• Cyclopentane foam insulation helps sustain thermal performance across the unit's working life
• Helicoil mains lead allows the counter to be moved for floor cleaning without disconnecting

Installation requires a standard mains connection with adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation. The floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of damage if a key is left in the lock — a small but practical detail in a fast-moving kitchen. Before ordering, it is worth confirming the available counter run length and door swing clearance to ensure the unit fits the intended position cleanly.

This model is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and catering operations with a consistent throughput of raw meat that warrants dedicated cold storage at point of use. It is particularly relevant where food safety procedures require the physical separation of raw meat from other chilled produce. For very high-volume operations processing large quantities of meat daily, a larger upright or multi-door solution may be worth considering.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700F is an upright refrigeration cabinet built specifically for fish storage in commercial kitchens. Unlike a general-purpose cabinet pressed into fish duty, this unit is designed from the outset to meet the particular demands of the product category: isolating fish from other refrigerated stock, preventing odour transfer, and maintaining the kind of consistent, disciplined temperatures that fish requires to stay in condition through service.

During busy periods the cabinet is engineered to hold stable temperatures through repeated door openings. Foster's Airlines ventilation system supports efficient compressor operation and contributes to reliable temperature recovery. The +stayclear condenser is designed to resist dust accumulation between planned maintenance intervals — a realistic consideration in any working kitchen. The unit is also rated to perform in higher ambient temperatures, making it a practical choice for kitchens where background heat builds significantly during service.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 platform translates well into kitchen workflow:

• PureControl LED display gives clear, at-a-glance temperature monitoring during service
• Stainless steel doors and covers hold up to heavy daily use and demanding cleaning regimes
• Cyclopentane foam insulation supports long-term thermal efficiency across the unit's working life
• Helicoil mains lead allows the cabinet to be repositioned for cleaning without stressing the connection
• Floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of door damage during high-traffic service periods

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this size, though a few practical points are worth considering beforehand. The EP700F requires a suitable single-phase mains supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. Positioning should also allow rear access for servicing. In kitchens where fish volumes are relatively modest, a smaller dedicated cabinet may be sufficient. For high-throughput fish operations or sites handling multiple species simultaneously, a larger-capacity unit may better suit the workflow.

This cabinet is well suited to fish-focused restaurants, seafood specialists, hotel kitchens, and any operation where fish is held in meaningful volume and isolation from other produce is a genuine priority. It is not intended as a general cold store and should not be used as one.

If you are weighing up whether a dedicated fish cabinet is the right approach for your operation, or want to talk through sizing and placement options, our team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700HL is a full-height, two-door upright cabinet that provides both refrigerated and frozen storage within a single footprint. Each section operates on its own independent refrigeration circuit, with its own temperature controls, so the chiller and freezer compartments can be managed correctly without one influencing the other. For kitchens where floor space is genuinely constrained, it removes the need to accommodate two separate cabinets.

In busy service conditions the independent circuits are a practical advantage — peak demand in one zone does not pull performance from the other. The G3 generation is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which matters in warm or poorly ventilated kitchen environments where standard equipment can begin to struggle during service. Foster's +stayclear condenser is designed to resist the build-up of lint and grease between service intervals, helping the unit sustain efficiency without requiring constant attention.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the cabinet includes several features worth noting:

• Independent refrigeration circuits keep both temperature zones stable regardless of load
• Airlines ventilation system manages compressor heat, reducing running time over long service periods
• PureControl LED display gives clear temperature readings and is connectivity-ready with a gateway addition
• 304-grade stainless steel on doors and covers stands up to daily cleaning and heavy kitchen use
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without stressing the cable

Installation is straightforward for a self-contained upright of this type. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — especially relevant in warmer kitchen spaces. Carrying two independent refrigeration systems and two door seals, both are worth including in any planned preventive maintenance schedule to keep performance consistent.

This cabinet is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, hotel back-of-house areas, satellite prep rooms, and event catering environments where both chilled and frozen storage are needed but a full two-cabinet solution is not practical. Where an operation runs significantly higher throughput with distinct volume demands across both temperature zones, separate dedicated uprights would offer more operational flexibility and redundancy.

If you are unsure whether the capacity split across the two compartments suits your service pattern, our team is happy to work through it with you before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700M is a single door upright refrigerator built specifically for raw meat storage. Unlike a general-purpose chiller, it is configured to hold the lower temperature range required for raw protein, making it a practical choice where food safety compliance, HACCP controls, and the separation of raw meat from other produce are non-negotiable requirements.

In a working kitchen, a dedicated meat cabinet earns its place by removing the compromises that come with storing raw protein alongside other produce. Consistent temperature holding through a busy service — deliveries arriving, doors opening regularly, ambient kitchen heat — is where the EcoPro G3 range is designed to perform. Foster's Stayclear condenser resists dust and grease build-up over time, and the cyclopentane foam insulation supports long-term thermal efficiency well beyond installation day. The airlines ventilation system reduces compressor run time, which in a high-use environment translates to lower energy consumption and reduced wear across the unit's working life.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several design details matter in practice:

• PureControl LED display with straightforward navigation and an optional connectivity gateway for remote monitoring
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers, durable under heavy kitchen use and easy to clean thoroughly
• Fully floating lock that resists breakage if a key is left in, avoiding a recurring maintenance call
• Helicoil mains lead allowing the unit to be moved for cleaning without disconnecting from the supply
• Rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, suited to warm or poorly ventilated kitchen spaces

Installation is straightforward for a freestanding upright of this type. It requires a standard single-phase electrical supply, adequate clearance at the rear and top for ventilation, and a level floor. Position the unit away from direct heat sources — ovens, fryers, or heated pass equipment — where possible, to avoid placing unnecessary load on the refrigeration circuit. Check door swing clearance against your kitchen layout before finalising placement.

The EP700M is well suited to butchers, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and catering operations where a dedicated raw meat refrigerator is required to meet food hygiene regulations. The 600-litre capacity suits medium to high volume sites. For smaller operations with modest throughput, a compact undercounter or smaller upright may be more proportionate. For high-volume sites processing large quantities of raw protein daily, a larger capacity or multi-door configuration is worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your storage volumes, kitchen layout, or compliance requirements, the team is happy to help before you place an order.

The Foster BCT52-26 is a combination blast chiller and blast freezer built for commercial kitchens where cook-chill is a structured, daily production process rather than an occasional requirement. In chilling mode it brings cooked food from 70°C down to 3°C within 90 minutes; in blast freezing mode it takes food from 70°C to -18°C within four hours. Fourteen shelf positions allow a substantial volume of GN 1/1 pans to be processed in a single cycle, which gives the unit genuine throughput credibility in a high-output environment.

In practice, the 52kg chilling capacity positions this as a primary production unit. Kitchens relying on it will be able to schedule repeated chilling cycles across a full production day without the unit becoming a bottleneck. The 26kg freezing capacity is better understood as a secondary function — well suited to periodic freezing runs but not designed to carry continuous high-volume blast freezing demand. Operations with heavy freezing requirements alongside their chilling workflow may need to consider whether a higher-capacity dedicated freezer complements this unit.

Operational advantages worth noting:

• Rapid chilling cycles protect food quality, texture, and moisture retention between production and service
• Supports compliance with UK and European food safety requirements for cook-chill operations
• 304-grade stainless steel interior is straightforward to clean and maintain
• Touch control panel keeps operation consistent and reduces the risk of user error across shift changes
• Flexible shelf configuration accommodates different pan loads per cycle

Installation requires adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser and a level, solid floor capable of bearing the unit's operational weight. Electrical supply requirements should be confirmed with a qualified engineer ahead of installation. Door swing clearance and loading access are worth planning carefully, particularly in more constrained kitchen layouts.

The BCT52-26 is well suited to contract caterers, central production units, large restaurant operations, and institutional catering environments where cook-chill is a regular part of the workflow and the volume justifies a dedicated high-capacity chiller. Kitchens with lighter or less frequent chilling needs may find a smaller unit more appropriate, while very high-output sites running continuous chilling and freezing in parallel may benefit from a heavier-duty configuration.

If you would like to talk through how this model fits your production volumes or kitchen layout, our team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.

The Foster BCT38-18 is a combined blast chiller and blast freezer designed for commercial kitchens where rapid, food-safe cooling forms part of daily service. It accommodates ten GN 1/1 shelf positions across a single cabinet, providing a primary chilling function alongside genuine blast freezing capability for occasions when that is needed. The chilling capacity handles the bulk of typical cook-chill workflows, while the freezing capacity gives the kitchen a practical secondary function without the capital cost of running two separate units.

In regular service, the BCT38-18 brings cooked product down to safe storage temperatures consistently and within the timeframes required under UK food safety legislation. Foster's build quality is well regarded across the industry — the all-stainless construction throughout the interior and exterior holds up reliably under daily cleaning cycles and the general demands of a busy professional kitchen. The touch control panel keeps operation straightforward for kitchen staff without requiring lengthy training.

The practical operational advantages of this unit include:

• Dual blast chilling and freezing cycles supporting food safety compliance as a matter of course
• Ten shelf positions for chilling multiple GN loads simultaneously during high-output service
• Single cabinet covering both functions, reducing equipment footprint and capital outlay
• All-stainless interior and exterior for straightforward daily cleaning and long-term durability
• Intuitive touch controls accessible to general kitchen staff without specialist knowledge

Installation requires an appropriate electrical supply and adequate clearance for ventilation and heat rejection around the condensing section. The unit should not be positioned in a confined or poorly ventilated space, and it should be sited away from direct heat sources wherever practicable. Foster's technical documentation sets out specific clearance and supply requirements, and these should be reviewed before final positioning is confirmed.

The BCT38-18 is well suited to mid-sized catering operations where blast chilling is a daily requirement and blast freezing is occasional rather than continuous — hotel kitchens, hospital and school catering facilities, contract caterers, and restaurants operating a structured cook-chill programme are typical settings. Where large volumes need to be frozen as a routine part of every cycle, or where overall throughput is significantly higher, a unit with a greater freeze capacity would be a more practical choice.

If you're working through whether this unit matches your kitchen's output, layout, or cook-chill workflow, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Foster BCT22-12 is a combination blast chiller and blast freezer designed for commercial kitchens running a cook-chill or cook-freeze workflow. In chiller mode it brings food from 70°C down to 3°C within 90 minutes; in freezer mode it takes food to -18°C within 240 minutes. Both cycles comply with UK and European food safety requirements for rapid chilling. The 22kg chilling capacity is the primary operational rating — the 12kg freeze capacity is best understood as a supporting function rather than a replacement for a dedicated blast freezer.

In practice, this unit is sized for kitchens producing consistent but moderate batch volumes across a daily prep cycle. Care homes, hotel kitchens, school catering operations, and mid-size restaurant or pub kitchens are the environments where it fits most naturally. Six GN 1/1 shelf positions accommodate a practical range of gastronorm pans and trays, keeping integration with existing prep equipment straightforward without requiring a rethink of pan sizes across the kitchen.

Day-to-day, the BCT22-12 offers several operational advantages worth noting:

• Dual chiller and freezer modes reduce the need for two separate units in moderate-output kitchens
• Touchscreen controls are accessible across shifts without requiring specialist training
• Stainless steel interior and exterior supports thorough, efficient cleaning between cycles
• Six shelf positions give flexibility across different pan depths and portion sizes
• Cycle times meet UK and European food hygiene regulations for rapid chilling

On the installation side, this is a self-contained unit, but it does require adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser — worth confirming against your kitchen layout before ordering. Placement away from cooking equipment and direct heat sources will help maintain consistent performance, as ambient temperature does affect refrigeration output. The unit runs on a single-phase supply; confirm the specific electrical requirements with your installer before commissioning.

The BCT22-12 is well suited to operations where blast chilling is a daily requirement and blast freezing is used occasionally rather than continuously. It is not the right choice for high-volume production kitchens turning over large batches throughout the day — for those environments, a higher-capacity model would be worth considering. Equally, if hard freezing forms a core part of your daily workflow rather than an occasional need, a unit with a higher freeze rating will serve you better over time.

If you are working through whether this model suits your service volume, kitchen layout, or cook-chill process, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Foster BCT15-7 is a combination blast chiller and blast freezer built for commercial kitchens running a structured cook-chill workflow. In chilling mode it brings cooked food from 70°C down to 3°C within the 90-minute window required under UK and European food safety legislation. The blast freezing function provides a practical secondary capability, taking smaller loads down to -18°C without the need for a separate dedicated unit. Five GN 1/1 shelf positions give reasonable flexibility across different tray and container configurations.

In a working kitchen environment this unit performs reliably where blast chilling is a daily routine rather than an occasional task. The chilling capacity suits moderate prep volumes well, handling a solid batch per cycle across a typical service prep schedule. The blast freezing function is a useful addition for sites that freeze periodically, though kitchens where freezing is a primary and high-volume daily activity should consider carefully whether the freeze capacity is sufficient for their throughput before committing to this model.

Key operational advantages include:

• Dual chiller and freezer function reduces equipment footprint in space-limited kitchens
• Accepts food loaded directly from the oven, removing the need for pre-cooling
• Stainless steel interior and exterior supports thorough cleaning and long-term durability
• Touch control panel keeps daily operation straightforward for kitchen teams
• Meets UK and European food safety cooling requirements as standard

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type, but confirming your available power supply before ordering is advisable. Allow adequate clearance for ventilation and a full door swing, and position the unit away from ovens or other heat-generating equipment to maintain efficiency over time. If your kitchen works primarily with deeper gastronorm containers rather than standard GN 1/1 trays, usable capacity per cycle may be reduced — worth factoring in at the planning stage.

The BCT15-7 is well suited to independent restaurants, pub kitchens, school catering operations, care homes, and contract catering sites running cook-chill at a moderate and consistent volume. For sites producing significantly larger batches per cycle, or where blast freezing is a core daily function, a higher-capacity model is likely to be a better fit for the workload.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right match for your production volumes or site setup, the team is happy to work through it with you before you make a decision.

The Foster XR35 is a floor-standing, 10-grid blast chiller designed to bring cooked food from +70°C down to +3°C at the core within the time window required by food safety legislation. With a 35kg per cycle capacity, it sits in a practical middle ground — capable enough for serious production volumes, without the footprint of a high-capacity tunnel or rack system.

In day-to-day kitchen operation, the XR35 earns its place during the post-service chill-down period, when large batches of cooked food need to be brought under control quickly and consistently. The microprocessor-controlled system offers both hard and soft chill programmes, which matters more than it might first appear. Dense proteins, stews, and bulk-cooked grains respond well to the harder cycle, while set desserts, mousses, and delicate preparations benefit from a gentler approach. The ability to select the right cycle for the product in front of you reduces the risk of texture damage and supports more predictable results across a varied menu.

From a practical standpoint, the XR35 offers several operational advantages worth noting:

• Hard and soft chill cycles suit a broad range of food types and densities
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant system runs more efficiently than older refrigerant alternatives
• Clean internal design with no exposed screws or recessed dirt traps makes daily cleaning straightforward
• Stainless steel construction throughout holds up well under continuous commercial use
• Microprocessor control supports consistent, repeatable results across different operators

Before installation, confirm you have adequate clearance around the unit for airflow — restricting ventilation in a tight corner will reduce chilling performance. The unit requires a suitable electrical supply, and if your kitchen environment runs particularly warm, it is worth raising that at the point of enquiry, as ambient temperature affects how hard the refrigeration system has to work. The XR35 should be positioned on a level, stable floor surface.

This unit is well suited to hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, restaurants with structured prep and cook-chill workflows, and central production units where blast chilling forms part of the daily routine. For lighter-use kitchens with smaller batch sizes, a lower-capacity model is likely to represent better value. At the other end, operations chilling very large batch quantities in a single cycle may find a higher-capacity unit a more appropriate fit.

If you would like to talk through whether the XR35 is the right match for your production volumes and kitchen layout, the team is glad to help you work through it before you make a decision.

The Foster XR20 is a self-contained blast chiller designed to bring cooked food from +70°C down to +3°C within 90 minutes, keeping the chilling process within recognised food safety guidelines. Rated for 20kg loads across five grids per cycle, it is built to sit within a structured cook-chill workflow rather than serve as an occasional-use unit, and the controls reflect that operational purpose.

In regular service, the XR20 performs consistently across a varied range of produce. The microprocessor offers both soft and hard chill programmes — soft chill for delicate preparations such as set creams, custards and mousse-based dishes, and hard chill for dense proteins, bulk stocks and batch-cooked preparations. Selecting the appropriate programme reduces spoilage risk and gives production teams repeatable results night after night. The unit also logs cycle data, which supports due diligence records without requiring separate manual documentation — a practical advantage in any kitchen operating under HACCP obligations.

From a day-to-day operations perspective, several aspects of the design reduce friction in the kitchen routine:

• Smooth interior with no exposed fixings, reducing cleaning time after service
• Stainless steel construction throughout, meeting expected food-safe hygiene standards
• Standard shelf spacing accepts GN trays and grids without adjustment
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant, widely supported by UK refrigeration engineers
• Cycle logging via microprocessor to assist HACCP and due diligence compliance

As a self-contained unit with an integral condenser, installation is less involved than remote-condensing alternatives. That said, ventilation in the surrounding area does matter. Positioning the unit in a confined or poorly ventilated space will reduce chilling performance over time and place additional load on components. Electrical supply requirements should be verified against the technical datasheet before installation is planned. The unit's footprint makes it workable in kitchens where space is limited but a reliable blast chiller remains operationally necessary.

The XR20 is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, care homes, school catering operations and contract caterers running moderate batch volumes as part of a regular cook-chill cycle. It is less well suited to very high-throughput sites where larger loads or more frequent cycles are the norm — for those operations, a higher-capacity unit is likely the more appropriate choice.

If you would like to talk through whether the XR20 is the right fit for your kitchen's output and workflow, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

The Foster XR10 is a compact blast chiller designed to bring cooked food from +70°C down to +3°C within the food safety window. With a five-grid configuration and a 10kg load capacity, it sits at the lighter end of Foster's blast chiller range, built around stainless steel construction and microprocessor-controlled programming consistent with Foster's wider refrigeration lineup.

In a working kitchen, the XR10 handles end-of-service batch chilling for small to medium prep volumes reliably and repeatably. It operates across both soft and hard chill programmes, giving operators the flexibility to run a gentler cooling cycle for delicate preparations — mousses, custards, fish — or a faster cycle when throughput is the priority. For kitchens producing regular batches of sauces, proteins, or portioned mains, the unit removes the food safety risk and quality loss that come with ambient cooling, and does so consistently enough to support due diligence records.

Day-to-day, the XR10 is practical to work with:

• Soft and hard chill modes offer flexibility across different food types and textures
• Microprocessor controls produce consistent, auditable chilling cycles for HACCP records
• Clean-line interior with no exposed screws or dirt traps makes end-of-day cleaning straightforward
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant supports energy-efficient operation over the life of the unit
• Standard GN container compatibility fits naturally into most existing prep workflows

Before installation, ventilation clearances around the condenser should be confirmed — the unit needs adequate airflow and should not be recessed tightly into surrounding cabinetry. Electrical supply requirements should be checked against your existing kitchen setup prior to delivery. The XR10 is intended for indoor use within a normal commercial kitchen environment and is not suited to unventilated spaces or unusually high ambient temperatures.

The XR10 is well suited to smaller operations where daily blast chilling volumes are modest and floor or bench space is limited. Cafés with a serious kitchen, private dining rooms, pub kitchens, and smaller contract catering setups are all typical fits. Kitchens running larger batch volumes or higher-turnover prep operations would be better served by a heavier-duty model with greater capacity.

If you want to talk through whether the XR10 fits your service volumes and kitchen layout, the team is well placed to help before you commit.

The Foster XR3H is a three-door under-counter refrigerator from Foster's established XR range. It provides chilled storage at worktop height across three separately accessed compartments, giving kitchen teams direct reach to ingredients and prepped items without stepping away from the line. At 435 litres of usable capacity, it sits at a practical size for operations where refrigerated storage needs to be close to the point of use without dominating valuable floor space.

In a working kitchen, the XR3H holds up reliably through a standard service period. Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across the cabinet, helping maintain consistent conditions even when doors are opened repeatedly during a busy shift. Auto defrost removes the need for manual intervention between services, keeping the unit running efficiently without adding to the team's workload.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the XR3H offers several practical advantages:

• Stainless steel construction withstands the knocks and cleaning regimes typical of a busy commercial kitchen
• Three separate door sections allow access to one area without exposing the full cabinet to warm air ingress
• Adjustable gastronorm-compatible shelving can be reconfigured as storage needs change
• Replaceable door gaskets simplify maintenance and help extend the working life of the unit
• Auto defrost reduces routine demands on kitchen staff during and between services

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and adequate clearance for ventilation. The unit is designed to sit flush within a counter run, so it is worth confirming your available run length and plinth height requirements before ordering. As with all refrigeration, avoid positioning the unit directly adjacent to high-heat appliances without appropriate thermal separation.

The XR3H is well suited to pub kitchens, café operations, smaller restaurant prep areas, and similar environments where reliable under-counter refrigeration is needed at a sensible scale. For higher-volume sites with more demanding throughput requirements, a larger-capacity or heavier-duty model within the Foster range may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or service pattern before going ahead, the team is happy to have that conversation.

The Foster XR2H is a two-door undercounter refrigerator from Foster's entry-level XR range. It provides refrigerated storage directly at the prep or service line, keeping chilled ingredients and dairy products within arm's reach without operators needing to step away from their work area. Fan-assisted cooling and automatic defrost are standard features, reducing the manual intervention required during a busy service.

In practice, this counter suits kitchens where worktop space and refrigerated storage need to share the same footprint. The fan-assisted circulation helps maintain consistent temperatures across the cabinet even when doors are opened frequently — which matters on a prep line or sandwich counter where access is constant throughout service. The auto defrost cycle runs without requiring staff attention, and the stainless steel construction holds up well under the cleaning routines expected in a commercial environment.

From an operational standpoint, the XR2H offers several practical advantages:

• Adjustable gastronorm-compatible shelving allows flexible arrangement to suit changing storage needs
• Replaceable door gaskets mean worn seals can be swapped without replacing the unit
• Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across the cabinet under load
• Auto defrost reduces maintenance demands during and after service
• Stainless steel interior and exterior supports routine cleaning and hygiene compliance

Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit sits beneath a standard worktop and requires a mains electrical connection. Before fitting into a run of cabinetry, it is worth confirming that adequate ventilation clearance is available on the appropriate sides. Restricted airflow will affect both performance and the working life of the compressor, so this is worth checking at the planning stage rather than after installation.

The XR2H is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, smaller prep kitchens, and service counters where accessible refrigerated storage at counter level is the primary requirement. As an entry-level unit in the Foster range, the price point is competitive, but operations with high storage demands, extended running hours, or heavy door-opening frequency may find a heavier-duty model a more durable long-term investment.

If you are weighing up whether this unit fits your kitchen layout and service pattern, our team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Foster XR1300H is a large-capacity two-door upright refrigerator built for commercial kitchens that need substantial chilled storage accessible from the preparation area. Rather than managing several smaller cabinets across the kitchen, this unit consolidates bulk chilled stock into a single freestanding cabinet — a practical arrangement for busy operations where space efficiency and consistent stock rotation both matter.

Consistent temperature performance across a full load is what separates a reliable refrigeration cabinet from one that causes problems during service. The XR1300H uses fan-assisted cooling to maintain an even temperature throughout the interior, whether the cabinet is lightly stocked early in the morning or fully loaded after a delivery. Auto defrost operates without manual intervention, which removes a routine task from the kitchen team during already demanding service periods. The cabinet's insulation is substantial enough to support stable holding even when doors are opened repeatedly at peak times.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several practical advantages:

• Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across a varied, full load
• Auto defrost removes the need for manual defrost routines during service
• Adjustable gastronorm-compatible shelving supports flexible stock organisation
• Replaceable door gaskets help minimise downtime if seals wear over time
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean to commercial hygiene standards

As a freestanding unit, installation is relatively uncomplicated — no remote refrigeration pipework or built-in fit-out is needed. The cabinet does require adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation to function correctly, and a suitable single-phase power supply nearby. Before delivery, it is worth checking access routes, corridor widths, and doorway dimensions carefully, as a cabinet of this size can present real challenges in older premises or kitchens with restricted entry points.

The XR1300H is well suited to mid- to high-volume operations — hotels, contract catering facilities, large restaurants, staff dining, and institutional kitchens — where holding significant chilled stock in a single reliable unit is preferable to splitting storage across several smaller cabinets. For sites with more modest requirements, a single-door or lower-capacity model will likely be a better match. Where a kitchen operates under very high throughput with near-constant door use, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty or larger-format alternative would be more appropriate.

If you would like to talk through how this cabinet fits your kitchen layout, service volumes, or existing refrigeration setup, the team is happy to work through the options with you.

The Foster XR600H is a single-door, upright refrigerator designed for general-purpose chilled storage in commercial kitchens. It sits within Foster's XR range — a line that balances everyday value with the consistent build quality Foster is known for across the professional foodservice sector. The cabinet is built throughout in stainless steel and uses fan-assisted cooling to circulate air evenly across all shelf levels.

In a working kitchen, the moments that test a refrigerator most are prep shifts, service, and restocking — periods when the door is opened repeatedly and the cabinet has to hold a stable temperature under continuous demand. The fan-assisted system and well-insulated cabinet body are designed to sustain consistent conditions through those periods. Auto defrost operates in the background, removing a routine maintenance task and reducing the risk of ice build-up affecting long-term performance.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the XR600H offers a number of practical advantages:

• Adjustable gastronorm-compatible shelving supports flexible storage layouts
• Replaceable door gaskets help extend the working life of the unit
• Stainless steel interior and exterior is straightforward to clean and maintain
• Auto defrost reduces manual intervention and keeps the unit running efficiently
• Single-phase supply suits most commercial kitchen installations without modification

Before ordering, it is worth confirming that adequate floor space and ventilation clearances are available. The refrigeration system needs sufficient room to dissipate heat — typically to the sides and rear — so positioning flush against walls or within tight alcoves without clearance should be avoided. The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply, which means no specialist electrical work is required in most kitchens.

The XR600H is well suited to small and medium-sized operations: cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, hotel prep areas, and similar sites where a dependable upright refrigerator is needed for everyday chilled storage. It is a practical choice where both floor space and budget are considerations. For higher-volume kitchens where throughput demands greater cabinet capacity, a more heavily specified model is likely to be a better fit.

If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your kitchen layout or service pattern, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Foster RBCT20/60 is a roll-in blast chiller and freezer designed for structured cook-chill and cook-freeze production. It accepts a Rational 201 combi oven trolley directly, allowing cooked product to transfer straight from the oven into the chiller without any intermediate tray handling or reloading. The unit chills a 60kg load and freezes a 20kg load, operating within the food safety requirement to bring product from cooking temperature down to safe holding temperature within 90 minutes.

In a production kitchen running daily cook-chill cycles, the roll-in format delivers a measurable workflow benefit. Removing the trolley-to-trolley transfer step reduces handling time, limits the period during which food is exposed to ambient temperatures, and simplifies the temperature logging that HACCP documentation requires. This is a dedicated production tool for sites where cook-chill output is a core daily requirement — not a general-purpose cabinet with chilling capability bolted on.

Practical benefits for production operations include:

• Eliminates tray-by-tray transfer between oven and chiller, reducing handling time and contamination risk
• Supports compliant 90-minute chill cycles for food safety assurance
• Simplifies HACCP logging with a single trolley tracked through the production cycle
• Roll-in format reduces physical demands on kitchen staff during busy production runs
• Consistent freezing performance supports cook-freeze as well as cook-chill output

Before specifying this unit, there are installation and compatibility points worth confirming. The roll-in design is configured around the Rational 201 trolley — verifying that your existing or planned trolley matches this specification before ordering is important. The unit requires a clear, level approach path and sufficient floor space to manoeuvre the loaded trolley into position. Adequate overhead clearance is needed for ventilation and future service access. This is a high-capacity production unit and is not appropriate for sites running only occasional or low-volume chilling.

The RBCT20/60 is well suited to central production kitchens, large hotel banqueting operations, contract catering facilities, and healthcare or education sites producing food in volume. It is particularly relevant where Rational combi ovens are already in use and the blast chilling side of the workflow needs to match that system. For sites with significantly higher throughput or those operating different trolley systems, other configurations are available in the Foster range.

If you are building a cook-chill workflow around this unit or need to confirm trolley compatibility with your current setup, the team is happy to work through the details before you commit to anything.

The Foster FPS 4 HR is a refrigerated preparation counter combining an open pan section at worktop level with a refrigerated storage cabinet beneath. The pan section holds up to twelve one-third GN pans, keeping chilled ingredients accessible at the point of preparation without requiring chefs to move away from the work surface. It is commonly used in pizza kitchens, saladette counters, deli sections, sandwich bars, and café prep stations where multiple ingredients need to be held at safe temperatures throughout service.

The practical value of this type of unit in a working kitchen comes from compressing the preparation process into a single station. Ingredients are at the top, replenishment stock is directly below, and the operator stays in position throughout service. An inner catch-tray in the pan section prevents food debris from migrating into the storage cabinet, reducing both contamination risk and the time required for end-of-service cleaning. The rear-mounted refrigeration system keeps the interior of the storage cabinet fully unobstructed and allows servicing without significant disruption to the kitchen layout.

Key operational benefits include:

• Twelve GN pan positions keep ingredients chilled and within reach during service
• Catch-tray design limits cross-contamination between the pan section and storage cabinet
• Rear-mounted refrigeration leaves interior storage space fully clear
• Consolidated prep and storage reduces unnecessary movement during busy service periods
• Stainless steel construction handles the demands of continuous daily use

Installation requires a standard electrical connection and adequate rear clearance for ventilation. In enclosed or tight kitchen layouts, confirming airflow around the refrigeration system at the planning stage is advisable. It is also worth checking worktop height against existing preparation surfaces before installation, particularly where staff work long shifts, as ergonomic mismatches become noticeable over time. Floor levelness and load-bearing capacity should be confirmed prior to positioning the unit.

This unit is well suited to medium-volume operations — pizza restaurants, pub kitchens, café prep lines, and deli counters where a dedicated prep station supports consistent throughput across a full service period. For sites running extended hours with very high ingredient turnover, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity configuration would be a closer match for the demand.

If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout and service pattern before committing, our team is happy to help you work through the details.

The Foster FPS 3 HR is a refrigerated preparation counter combining a nine-pan chilled rail with a three-door cold storage cabinet below. The two functions share a single footprint, giving kitchen teams chilled ingredient access at the point of use alongside bulk cold storage without occupying additional floor space. It is a format widely used in pizza operations, sandwich bars, salad-focused menus, and starter or dessert preparation where fast, repeated access to prepped ingredients during service is essential.

The practical value of any prep station depends on how consistently it holds pan temperatures when the lid is being lifted repeatedly throughout a busy service. Foster's rear-mounted refrigeration and revised airflow design help maintain stable temperatures across the pan rail under that kind of frequent use. The below-counter cabinet keeps backup stock immediately to hand, reducing movement away from the station during high-volume periods and helping to maintain a steady workflow from the start of service through to close.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Nine-pan rail capacity supports a broad ingredient range without restocking mid-service
• Inner catch tray beneath the pan section keeps debris out of the storage cabinet below
• Rear-mounted refrigeration leaves the cabinet interior unobstructed and simplifies routine servicing
• 304 stainless steel construction supports hygiene standards and withstands regular kitchen cleaning
• Three-door cabinet layout provides organised cold storage directly beneath the working surface

Installation is straightforward in most commercial kitchens, requiring a standard electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance at the rear. As with any refrigerated prep counter, the unit should be sited away from direct heat sources such as overhead salamanders or adjacent grills — sustained ambient heat affects holding temperature consistency and running costs over time. Allow sufficient clearance for the cabinet door swing, and confirm that your floor loading is appropriate for a fully stocked unit of this size.

This unit is well suited to independent restaurants, pizzerias, cafés, and quick-service operations where a single station can serve one section effectively throughout service. For kitchens running multiple prep sections simultaneously or handling a very high ingredient throughput, a larger or higher-output model may be worth considering. If your menu requires fewer pans or your kitchen has limited space, more compact alternatives are available within the prep station range.

If you would like to talk through how this unit would work within your specific kitchen layout and service volumes, the team is happy to help you work it out before committing.

The Foster FPS 2 HR is a refrigerated preparation counter combining an under-counter storage cabinet with a chilled top section designed to hold gastronorm pans. It keeps fresh ingredients at safe working temperatures and within easy reach throughout service — a practical arrangement for any kitchen running dish assembly from multiple fresh components. This style of unit is commonly referred to as a saladette or prep station, and it is a standard fixture in pizza operations, sandwich bars, salad stations, and starter or dessert prep lines.

In a working kitchen, the real test of a prep station is how consistently it holds temperature when lids are being lifted repeatedly during a busy service. The FPS 2 HR uses a revised airflow design that maintains a stable chill across the pan section even under active use, reducing the risk of temperature drift and the food safety concerns that can follow. The rear-mounted refrigeration unit keeps the storage interior clear and makes the unit more accessible when routine servicing is required.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit addresses several practical requirements at once:

• Chilled pan section at a comfortable working height, reducing fatigue during long service periods
• Inner catch-tray beneath the pan section prevents debris falling into the storage compartment
• 304 stainless steel construction throughout, supporting thorough cleaning and commercial hygiene standards
• Rear-mounted refrigeration unit leaves under-counter storage unobstructed and simplifies engineer access
• Suited to pizza prep, saladette, sandwich assembly, and dessert stations

The unit is freestanding and can sit within a counter run or operate independently. It requires a standard electrical connection and adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation — worth confirming before positioning it tight against a wall or within a close-fitting equipment run. As with any refrigerated prep counter, keeping it away from direct heat sources such as grills or flat-tops will protect efficiency and reduce compressor workload over time.

The FPS 2 HR is well suited to small and medium operations — cafés, pizzerias, delis, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant prep lines — where a reliable prep station is needed without overspecifying for the covers being served. For higher-volume sites with extended service periods or multiple cooks working the same station, a larger or more heavily specified unit may be worth considering. At the other end, for very low-volume or occasional-use settings, a smaller single-door unit may be a more proportionate choice.

If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout and workflow, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Foster HR240 is a two-door under-counter refrigerator offering 240 litres of chilled storage within a compact stainless steel cabinet designed to sit beneath standard worktops. It operates at dairy temperatures and is built for kitchens where floor space is limited but consistent, reliable refrigeration remains a priority.

Under-counter refrigeration earns its keep by placing chilled ingredients at the point of preparation without consuming valuable standing space. The HR240 is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40°C, which gives it practical dependability in warmer kitchen environments where less capable units can drift off temperature during a busy service. Its front-breathing refrigeration system — drawing and expelling air from the front rather than the sides or rear — is one of its more operationally useful features. This allows the cabinet to be installed within an enclosed under-counter run or a built-in configuration without requiring ventilation clearances at the sides or back.

• Front-breathing design suits installation in enclosed under-counter runs
• GN 1/1 compatible interior supports standard gastronorm storage
• Rear roller castors and front levelling bolts allow repositioning and precise levelling
• Aluminium interior is easy to clean and holds up well under daily kitchen use
• A-rated energy classification helps keep running costs manageable across long operating hours

The unit runs from a standard single-phase supply and requires no water connection. The front grille must remain clear for adequate airflow. Before ordering, it is worth confirming that your existing worktop height and run configuration will accommodate the cabinet properly.

The HR240 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller prep areas where dairy storage is needed close to the bench or pass. It is also commonly used as supplementary refrigeration in larger operations. Where higher capacity or a wider temperature range is required, Foster's upright and multi-door cabinets are worth considering.

If you'd like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your layout or service pattern, our team is happy to help you work it out.

The Foster HR120 is a compact, single-door under counter refrigerator designed to sit beneath a standard worktop where floor space is at a premium. Built in stainless steel with an aluminium interior, it provides 120 litres of accessible chilled storage configured for GN 1/1 compatibility — a practical solution for prep areas, service counters, and back-of-house stations where chilled product needs to be within arm's reach rather than retrieved from a central cold room.

In a working kitchen, under counter refrigeration earns its place by reducing unnecessary movement during service. Keeping dairy products, garnishes, sauces, and prepped items close to the point of use keeps workflow tighter and helps staff maintain pace without repeatedly visiting a walk-in or upright cabinet. The HR120 is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, which means performance remains consistent in the warmer conditions common in busy kitchens — particularly useful when the unit is positioned near cooking equipment or in areas with limited ventilation.

A few points worth noting from an operational standpoint:

• Front-breathing refrigeration system allows built-in or enclosed placement without rear clearance
• Rear roller castors and front levelling bolts make positioning and routine cleaning access straightforward
• Stainless steel exterior handles the daily knocks and wipe-downs of a commercial kitchen reliably
• Rated for dairy temperature ranges, making it well suited to coffee stations, pastry sections, and prep counters
• A energy rating supports lower running costs across continuous 24-hour operation

This unit is best suited to smaller operations or supplementary cold storage roles — a café, sandwich bar, hotel breakfast station, or as an additional unit alongside larger refrigeration in a busier kitchen. It is not intended as the sole refrigeration where high-volume cycling and greater capacity are required. For sites with heavier throughput demands, a larger upright or multi-door cabinet would be a more appropriate starting point.

If you are working out whether this capacity fits your operation or how it sits within an existing kitchen layout, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Foster HR360 is a 360-litre under-counter refrigerator built to hold dairy-temperature stock at the point of preparation. It sits beneath standard preparation benches and is constructed to the build quality expected across Foster's professional refrigeration range, with a stainless steel exterior and aluminium interior.

In working kitchens, under-counter refrigeration carries genuine operational weight. Keeping prep ingredients, dairy lines, and short-rotation stock close to where they're needed reduces unnecessary movement across the kitchen and keeps service running smoothly. The HR360 is well suited to that role. Its front-breathing refrigeration system is a practical advantage in fitted kitchens — it can be installed in enclosed under-counter runs without requiring rear clearance for airflow, which matters on sites where bench runs are tightly planned and access routes are managed carefully. The unit is also rated for operation in warmer ambient conditions, making it a reliable choice for kitchens where temperatures climb during busy service periods.

Features that support day-to-day operation include:

• Front-breathing system allows enclosed under-counter installation without rear clearance
• Climate class 4 rating suits kitchens with elevated ambient temperatures
• Roller castors to the rear and levelling bolts at the front for straightforward positioning
• Stainless steel exterior is hardwearing and easy to clean down between services
• Aluminium interior supports hygiene and routine cleaning between deliveries

Installation requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and no specialist ventilation provision, provided the front-breathing path remains unobstructed. The levelling bolts are a useful detail on older sites where floors are uneven. Before ordering, it is worth confirming the available height clearance beneath your existing bench run — under-counter units vary slightly in overall height and it is an easy thing to check before delivery.

The HR360 is a practical choice for small to medium-sized kitchens, café operations, pub kitchens, and any site needing reliable dairy-temperature storage close to the preparation area. It works well as a standalone unit or as part of a larger under-counter configuration. Sites with significantly higher cold storage demands may find a larger upright or multi-door cabinet better matched to their throughput requirements.

If you want to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or cold storage needs, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.

The Foster HR150/3D is a three-drawer undercounter refrigerator designed to sit beneath standard-height preparation benches in commercial kitchens. Its 150-litre capacity is distributed across three independent drawers, providing accessible chilled storage directly at the point of use — without giving up the worksurface above. The unit operates within dairy temperature parameters, making it a reliable option for kitchens that need cold storage close to a prep or service station.

In practice, drawer-format refrigeration offers a meaningful advantage over hinged-door cabinets in a busy kitchen. Chefs can pull stock without stepping away from the bench, ingredients stay visible and easy to rotate, and throughput at the prep station is rarely interrupted. The front-breathing refrigeration system allows installation within enclosed undercounter runs or tight cabinetry configurations, removing the rear clearance requirement that can complicate fitting standard models into constrained spaces.

• Drawer access keeps chilled ingredients close to hand throughout service without disrupting bench workflow
• Front-breathing design permits built-in or enclosed undercounter installation
• Rear castors and front levelling bolts aid positioning and simplify routine cleaning underneath
• Climate class 4 rating supports consistent performance where kitchen ambient temperatures reach 32°C
• Stainless steel exterior handles daily commercial use and wipes down quickly between services

The unit runs from a standard single-phase electrical supply and requires no water connection, keeping installation straightforward. The front-breathing system removes the need for rear clearance, though maintaining reasonable airflow around the unit is still advisable. The castor and levelling bolt combination is particularly useful on uneven kitchen floors.

This refrigerator suits cafés, sandwich bars, and smaller restaurant kitchens well, and works equally effectively as a supplementary chilled storage point at prep or pass stations in larger operations. It is especially practical wherever dairy ingredients need to stay within arm's reach during service. Kitchens with significantly higher storage demands or ambient conditions that regularly push beyond 32°C may find a larger or more heavily rated unit is a better match.

If you'd like to talk through whether this unit fits your layout and service setup before committing, the team at Advantage is happy to help.

The Foster HR200 is a single-door under-counter refrigerator with a 200-litre capacity, designed to sit beneath standard preparation benches in a commercial kitchen. Its purpose is straightforward: to keep dairy and chilled ingredients refrigerated at the point of use, reducing unnecessary movement during service without occupying the floor space of a full upright cabinet.

Foster has a well-established background in commercial refrigeration, and the HR200 reflects that practical experience. The stainless steel exterior stands up to the day-to-day knocks and regular wipe-downs of a working kitchen, while the front-breathing refrigeration system is one of the unit's most operationally useful characteristics. Because all ventilation is handled from the front, the HR200 can be fitted into an enclosed cabinetry run without requiring rear clearance — a meaningful advantage in compact or galley-style kitchen layouts where space is already under pressure.

In practical terms, the unit offers several clear operational advantages:

• Front-breathing design allows enclosed installation without rear ventilation clearance
• Rear castors and front levelling bolts simplify positioning and levelling on uneven floors
• Stainless steel exterior is hardwearing and straightforward to clean during and after service
• Climate class 4 rating means the unit performs reliably in warmer kitchen environments
• Under-counter footprint keeps refrigerated stock close to the prep area throughout service

Installation is uncomplicated. The HR200 connects to a standard mains electrical supply and requires no specialist ventilation work — the front grille simply needs to remain unobstructed. The levelling bolts are a practical detail worth noting, particularly in older premises where floors are rarely perfectly level. One consideration worth checking before purchase: the unit is rated for dairy temperature ranges, so operators handling raw meat or fish should confirm the operating temperature meets their specific requirements.

The HR200 is well suited to cafés, small restaurant kitchens, hotel serveries, and similar operations where reliable under-counter refrigerated storage is needed close to the point of preparation. For higher-volume sites or operations requiring considerably more capacity, a larger under-counter or upright model would likely be a better fit.

If you want to confirm this unit suits your layout, installation conditions, or temperature requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Foster HR150 is a single-door undercounter refrigerator designed to sit beneath standard preparation benches in commercial kitchens. At 150 litres, it provides a practical volume of chilled storage within a compact footprint — a sensible choice where floor area and bench space are both at a premium.

The front-breathing refrigeration system is one of the more operationally useful aspects of this unit. With both air intake and exhaust operating from the front face, the HR150 can be installed flush within an enclosed undercounter cabinetry run without requiring rear or side clearance. This makes it a practical fit for fitted kitchen layouts where rear-venting units would create airflow problems, or where access behind and beside the unit simply isn't available.

For day-to-day reliability, the HR150 is rated to climate class 4, meaning it maintains stable performance in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — broadly representative of the conditions found in a working commercial kitchen. The stainless steel exterior handles regular cleaning and the general physical demands of a busy kitchen environment without issue.

• Front-breathing ventilation allows installation in enclosed undercounter runs
• Climate class 4 rating ensures reliable performance in warm kitchen conditions
• Stainless steel construction is robust and straightforward to maintain
• Roller castors and levelling bolts allow repositioning and cleaning access beneath the unit
• Compact capacity delivers useful chilled storage without occupying significant floor space

This unit is well suited to smaller operations, supplementary prep areas, or service points where additional undercounter chilled storage is needed. For sites with greater throughput or storage demands, a larger undercounter or full-height cabinet is likely the more appropriate choice.

If you're working out how the HR150 fits into your bench layout or weighing it against other options, we're happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/4H is a four-door refrigerated counter designed to sit beneath a preparation surface and deliver chilled storage directly at the point of use. The four-door configuration divides the interior into distinct zones, which suits kitchens where different sections of the prep team need independent access to ingredients without crossing the line or interrupting service flow.

Counter fridges in working kitchens take sustained punishment — doors opened hundreds of times per shift, ambient temperatures climbing during service, and heavy gastronorm loads being moved in and out throughout the day. The EcoPro G3 is built with that reality in mind. The +stayclear condenser is engineered to resist the grease and dust accumulation that gradually degrades refrigeration efficiency, helping the unit hold consistent temperatures rather than losing performance between maintenance cleans. The Airlines ventilation system supports compressor cooling, which contributes to reduced running time and lower energy draw over a full shift.

A few operational features are worth noting:

• PureControl LED display provides clear, at-a-glance temperature monitoring on the line
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers withstands the wear of intensive daily use
• Cyclopentane foam insulation helps sustain thermal stability under frequent door opening
• Fully floating lock is designed to resist breakage under heavy daily use
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for cleaning without stressing the cable

Installation is generally straightforward, but it is worth confirming adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser before positioning the unit — restricted airflow is a common cause of reduced efficiency and premature wear. The unit is rated for operation in high ambient temperature environments, making it a practical choice for kitchens where conditions warm significantly during peak service. Confirm your electrical supply is compatible before proceeding.

This counter is well suited to mid-sized and larger operations — restaurants, hotels, contract catering sites, and similar environments — where a dedicated prep line benefits from under-counter refrigeration with meaningful capacity. Smaller kitchens running lighter volumes may find a two-door unit a more proportionate choice, while very high-throughput sites should consider whether additional refrigeration capacity is needed alongside it.

If you'd like to talk through whether this configuration fits your kitchen layout or service pattern before committing, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/3H is a three-door refrigerated counter designed for prep-line use in professional kitchens. It provides 435 litres of chilled storage in an under-counter format, keeping ingredients accessible at the point of preparation without pulling staff away from their workstation. The G3 platform has a well-established track record in commercial kitchens, and this generation builds on that foundation with refined energy efficiency and improved practical detail throughout.

In active service conditions, the counter holds temperature reliably through repeated door openings during busy periods. Foster's +stayclear condenser resists the lint and grease accumulation that degrades cooling performance over time — a meaningful advantage when the unit sits close to cooking equipment, as is common in prep-line configurations. The Airlines ventilation system draws air more efficiently across the compressor, reducing run time and lowering energy consumption across a full shift. The unit is rated to perform in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, so it copes with the heat levels found in working kitchen environments rather than struggling quietly in the background.

Day-to-day, the G3 counter offers a number of practical operational advantages:

• PureControl LED display gives clear temperature visibility with minimal energy draw
• 304-grade stainless steel on doors and high-contact surfaces withstands heavy daily use
• Cyclopentane insulation maintains thermal efficiency throughout the unit's working life
• Fully floating lock mechanism resists breakage if a key is left in the lock inadvertently
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled forward for cleaning without stressing the cable

Installation is straightforward in most kitchens, though a few points are worth considering before the unit arrives on site. The condenser requires adequate clearance for airflow — positioning the counter flush into a tight alcove without ventilation space will affect both performance and compressor life over time. Electrical connection should be completed by a qualified person. Where this unit is being installed alongside other refrigeration in a counter run, the cumulative heat load in that section of the kitchen is worth factoring into the layout plan.

This counter is well suited to mid-sized restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering environments where consistent prep-line refrigeration is needed across a full service day. It works as a standalone unit or built into a larger counter configuration. Kitchens with lighter throughput may find a single- or two-door model in the same range more proportionate to their needs. For very high-volume sites operating extended service periods or particularly demanding environments, it is worth discussing whether a higher-specification unit would be the better long-term choice.

If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout, existing refrigeration setup, or service pattern, our team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2H is a two-door refrigerated counter offering 280 litres of chilled storage at worktop level. It sits within Foster's established EcoPro G3 counter range and is built to keep ingredients accessible directly on the prep line, reducing the need for repeated trips to a remote cold room during a busy service.

In a working commercial kitchen, consistent temperature holding under sustained use is where this unit earns its place. The ventilation system actively cools the compressor, helping the counter maintain stable temperatures even when ambient kitchen heat is high. The improved condenser design also resists the gradual efficiency loss that can affect heavily used counters over time — a practical consideration for both running costs and food safety compliance across a long service life.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 offers several worthwhile advantages:

• Stainless steel doors and covers hold up well under heavy daily use
• Cyclopentane foam insulation retains thermal performance throughout the unit's working life
• PureControl LED display gives clear temperature visibility at a glance
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without disconnecting the supply
• Compact footprint suits tighter kitchen layouts without sacrificing usable storage

Installation is generally straightforward, but a few points are worth confirming before ordering. Allow adequate clearance around the condenser for airflow, ensure the floor is level and capable of supporting the loaded weight, and check overhead height clearance if the unit is to sit beneath an existing counter run. Your installer should verify the exact electrical supply requirements at the point of fitting.

The EP1/2H suits cafés, restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering sites that need reliable under-counter refrigeration on a working prep line. It is well matched to medium-volume services. Higher-throughput sites or larger prep teams may find it worth considering a greater-capacity configuration, while smaller or lower-volume operations may not require this level of storage.
