The Foster FMSLIMNG is an open-fronted slimline multideck refrigerated display cabinet fitted with a retractable nightblind and full-length glass end panels. It is designed for operators who need reliable chilled display within a reduced floor footprint — particularly where space is constrained but product visibility and presentation standards still need to be maintained.
In practice, this type of cabinet is commonly found in convenience retail, food-to-go operations, café counters, and staff canteen settings where chilled grab-and-go product needs to be clearly presented at point of sale. The slimline format does not mean a significant sacrifice in shelf capacity — the shelf depth available allows operators to carry a practical product volume without committing to the floor space of a full-width multideck run.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several practical advantages worth noting:
- LED lighting runs cooler and draws less energy than fluorescent alternatives, with a longer service life
- Glass end panels extend sightlines across the display, useful in open-plan or self-service layouts
- Fully removable shelves and supports simplify daily and deep cleaning without specialist tools
- The slide-out condensing unit allows service engineers to access refrigeration components with minimal disruption
- Brushed stainless steel interior is straightforward to maintain and supports routine hygiene compliance
On installation, wall-siting this cabinet requires an additional spacer depth at the rear to allow adequate air circulation around the condensing unit. If positioned in a free-standing island configuration, that spacer is not required. Clearance requirements should be factored into any space planning before ordering. As with all open-fronted multidecks, ambient temperature in the installation area will affect performance — poorly ventilated rooms or high-ambient environments will place additional load on the refrigeration system.
The retractable nightblind is worth factoring into your running cost calculations. Closing it overnight reduces energy consumption when the cabinet is not in active service, which makes a measurable difference over time — particularly in operations trading long hours or overnight.
This cabinet is well suited to smaller food retail environments, cafés, and food service operations where a compact display footprint is a priority but presentation still matters. For higher-volume retail sites or where a longer display run is needed, a heavier-duty or wider multideck is likely to be more appropriate.
If you are weighing up whether this model fits your layout or service requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
From £5,310.00(£6,372.00 inc VAT)
The Foster FMPRONG is a freestanding open-fronted multideck display chiller designed for commercial food service and retail environments. It combines a five-shelf display layout with full-length glass end panels and a retractable nightblind — a practical arrangement for operators who need strong product visibility during trading hours alongside controlled energy consumption when the unit is not in active service.
In a busy service environment, consistent chilled display performance across the full trading day is non-negotiable. The FMPRONG is built for continuous operation, holding safe chilled temperatures across all five display levels through peak demand periods. The shelf depth is generous relative to many standard multidecks, which means more product can be fronted per shelf and restocking interruptions during service are reduced — a real advantage in high-footfall settings such as deli counters, workplace canteens, and food-to-go outlets.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several design details support efficient running:
- Retractable nightblind with soft-close mechanism reduces energy draw outside trading hours
- Full-length LED lighting across all five shelves provides even illumination with lower heat output than fluorescent alternatives
- Glass end panels extend lateral visibility, supporting presentation in open-plan or walk-around display layouts
- Removable shelves and shelf supports allow straightforward deep cleaning and routine hygiene checks
- Roller castors as standard permit repositioning without specialist equipment
The slide-out condensing unit and removable front cover simplify engineer access without requiring the unit to be moved entirely — worth considering in tighter or fixed installations where disruption to the surrounding area needs to be kept to a minimum.
Installation is straightforward. The FMPRONG is a self-contained unit requiring a standard mains electrical supply, supplied on castors for flexible floor positioning. It should be sited away from direct heat sources with adequate clearance at the rear and sides for airflow. As with any open-fronted multideck, ambient temperature and humidity in the display area will influence chilling performance, so it is worth factoring in the siting environment at the planning stage.
This cabinet is well suited to food-to-go operators, workplace canteens, deli counters, and smaller food retail outlets where a structured, well-lit chilled display is needed without the footprint of a larger cabinet run. For very high-volume sites with extended display requirements, a larger-capacity unit in the Foster range may be more appropriate.
If you would like to talk through how this model fits your site layout and service demands before going ahead, the team is happy to help.

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.
£2,279.00(£2,734.80 inc VAT)
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.
£1,549.00(£1,858.80 inc VAT)
The Foster XR600L is a single-door, full-height upright freezer offering 600 litres of usable frozen storage in a stainless steel cabinet. It sits within Foster's XR range — a line built to deliver dependable commercial refrigeration performance at a practical price point, without unnecessary complexity. For kitchens that need straightforward, reliable frozen storage capacity, this cabinet covers the brief cleanly.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the XR600L handles the demands of continuous frozen storage reliably. The microprocessor controller maintains consistent cabinet temperature throughout a full service day and overnight, which matters when holding protein, pastry, or prepared components within strict food safety parameters. The cabinet carries a climate class 5 rating, meaning it is designed to perform correctly even in warmer ambient conditions — a genuine practical advantage in kitchens where heat from cooking equipment and limited ventilation can push ambient temperatures well above standard.
From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several clear advantages for kitchen teams:
- Stainless steel exterior withstands daily cleaning, knocks, and trolley contact reliably
- Microprocessor control delivers accurate, consistent temperature without manual intervention
- Full-height single-door format suits bulk frozen stock organisation and straightforward access
- Climate class 5 rating supports stable performance in warm or poorly ventilated kitchen areas
- Foster's established build quality provides reasonable long-term confidence for a working commercial site
Installation is straightforward for a freestanding unit of this type. It requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and adequate clearance at the rear and top to allow the refrigeration system to reject heat effectively. Positioning the cabinet in a tight alcove or flush against a wall without proper ventilation clearance will affect both performance and the lifespan of the refrigeration system. The unit is intended for indoor commercial use in a controlled environment, not for ambient storage areas or spaces without climate management.
The XR600L is well suited to small and medium-sized operations — restaurant back-of-house, pub kitchens, hotel operations, staff canteens, and similar sites — where a single-door upright freezer covers the primary frozen storage requirement. Sites running very high throughput or needing multiple access points during a busy service may find a larger or multi-door configuration better suited to their workflow. Equally, a kitchen with more modest storage demands may be better served by a smaller capacity unit.
If you are weighing up whether this cabinet fits your kitchen layout and storage volumes, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£2,536.00(£3,043.20 inc VAT)
The Foster XR1300L is a double door upright freezer from Foster's XR range — an entry-level line built to deliver consistent frozen storage in professional food service environments. Constructed in stainless steel throughout, the cabinet is designed to hold temperature reliably and withstand the daily demands of a working commercial kitchen without unnecessary complexity.
The 1300-litre interior positions this unit usefully between a single-door cabinet and a dedicated walk-in. Fan-assisted cooling circulates air evenly across the full cabinet depth, which helps maintain stable temperatures during heavy loading or repeated door opening at service. The automatic defrost system manages defrost cycles without operator intervention, keeping the unit running through busy periods without the scheduling burden of manual defrost. Thick insulation supports temperature stability even in kitchens that generate significant ambient heat.
From an operational standpoint, the XR1300L offers several practical advantages for day-to-day kitchen use:
- Fan-assisted cooling maintains even temperature distribution during heavy loading
- Auto defrost removes the need for manual defrost cycles during service
- Adjustable GN-compatible shelving allows flexible configuration for different stock types
- Replaceable door gaskets extend service life without full component replacement
- Stainless steel interior and exterior cleans down quickly and resists daily wear
Installation is relatively straightforward — the XR1300L is a self-contained unit requiring a standard electrical supply. The most important practical consideration is ventilation: adequate clearance at the rear and above the cabinet is essential for condenser performance and long-term reliability. Restricted airflow is one of the most common causes of premature wear on upright refrigeration, so confirming your layout allows for it before installation is worth doing. The unit's height and weight mean delivery access and final positioning should also be planned carefully in advance.
This freezer is well suited to restaurants, cafés, school kitchens, pub catering operations, and similar settings where reliable double-door frozen storage is needed at a practical price point. It sits at the accessible end of Foster's upright freezer range, making it a sensible option where budget is a genuine consideration alongside performance. For higher-volume operations or kitchens running in demanding ambient conditions, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty model from further up the range would serve better over the long term.
If you are unsure whether the XR1300L is the right fit for your kitchen — in terms of capacity, duty level, or installation requirements — we are happy to talk it through before you commit.
£1,875.00(£2,250.00 inc VAT)
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.
£2,155.00(£2,586.00 inc VAT)
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.
£3,776.00(£4,531.20 inc VAT)
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.
£4,026.00(£4,831.20 inc VAT)
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.
£5,167.00(£6,200.40 inc VAT)
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.
£5,421.00(£6,505.20 inc VAT)
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.
£6,603.00(£7,923.60 inc VAT)
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.
£8,189.00(£9,826.80 inc VAT)
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 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.
