Product Description
The Sterling Pro Cobus SPR160PV is a single-door upright refrigerator offering 600 litres of gastronorm-compatible chilled storage. Constructed from catering-grade stainless steel, it is designed specifically for professional kitchen environments and provides reliable, temperature-controlled storage for dairy, prepared ingredients, raw meat, fruit, and vegetables.
In a working kitchen, consistency matters more than headline figures. The SPR160PV uses ventilated cooling to maintain an even temperature throughout the cabinet, reducing the risk of warm spots and helping to protect stock quality during extended service periods. Automatic defrost keeps the unit running efficiently without requiring manual intervention from kitchen staff. The Cubigel compressor is a well-regarded component found widely across commercial refrigeration, and the R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant is both low environmental impact and well suited to the operating demands of a busy kitchen.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, this cabinet offers several practical advantages:
- Ventilated cooling distributes temperature evenly across all shelf levels
- Automatic defrost removes a routine maintenance task during service
- Internal LED lighting supports quick stock identification at a glance
- Gastronorm-compatible shelving allows direct tray storage without decanting
- 60mm insulation contributes to stable internal temperatures and efficient running
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this class — a standard single-phase supply is required, and adequate clearance around the condenser is needed for ventilation. As with all refrigeration, positioning away from direct heat sources such as ovens or fryers will support both efficiency and longevity. The single-door configuration works well in back-of-house areas where access is from one direction, and the footprint suits kitchens where space is managed carefully.
The SPR160PV is a practical choice for small to medium-sized operations — cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, and similar environments where a dependable upright refrigerator handles daily chilled storage. For sites with significantly higher throughput or a need for multi-door access, a larger-capacity cabinet is worth considering. For very compact kitchens, an undercounter or slimline unit may be a better fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your storage needs and kitchen layout before committing, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a small to medium operation — a café, pub kitchen, or restaurant turning covers at a modest volume — 600 litres of upright refrigeration is typically sufficient for day-to-day ambient ingredient storage. If you are running high-volume service, storing bulk prep, or need to hold stock for multiple sections simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity cabinet or an additional unit would better suit your throughput.
- The SPR160PV runs on a standard single-phase power supply and does not require any specialist electrical work beyond a suitable socket or spur. You will need to allow adequate clearance around the condenser — typically at the rear or top of the unit — for proper airflow. Positioning away from direct heat sources such as fryers, ovens, or dishwashers will help the unit run efficiently and extend its service life.
- The gastronorm-compatible shelving and ventilated cooling make it straightforward to organise storage by food type, which supports good kitchen hygiene practice. That said, raw meat should always be stored on the lowest shelf in accordance with food safety guidelines, separated from ready-to-eat produce. If your operation requires dedicated separate storage for raw and ready-to-eat items, a second cabinet or a multi-door unit may be worth discussing with us.
