Product Description
The Williams Onyx CPC3-SS is a three-door saladette counter refrigerator built for continuous use in busy professional kitchens. It combines a generously sized refrigerated cabinet below with a raised pan rail above, giving preparation staff direct access to portioned ingredients throughout service without interrupting the cold chain.
In practice, this unit is well suited to high-throughput kitchens where the saladette is the focal point of plating and assembly. The airflow system is designed to maintain a consistent temperature across all pan positions — a meaningful advantage during busy periods when lids are being opened repeatedly and ambient kitchen temperatures are elevated. The CoolSmart controller manages refrigeration cycles to balance performance against energy draw, which over time contributes to reduced running costs without requiring manual adjustment.
Operational features that matter in day-to-day service include:
- Self-closing doors with magnetic balloon gaskets that maintain a reliable seal between uses
- An included lid for overnight storage, keeping ingredients covered and compliant between shifts
- Heavy-duty swivel castors with brakes, allowing the unit to be repositioned for cleaning or reconfiguration
- A raised pan rail sized for gastronorm pans, supporting a logical ingredient layout for assembly-focused stations
Installation is straightforward by commercial refrigeration standards — the unit runs on a standard supply and is mobile, so it does not require fixed installation or drainage in most configurations. That said, placement should account for adequate ventilation clearance at the rear and top of the unit, and the kitchen environment should have sufficient ambient temperature control to avoid placing unnecessary load on the refrigeration system.
This model is a practical choice for busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where a saladette is used as a central preparation and service counter. It is sized for moderate to high-volume service rather than low-throughput environments. For operations with larger stations or a need for significantly more pan capacity, a heavier-duty or wider configuration may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your station layout or service volume, our team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The CPC3-SS is well suited to moderate to high-volume service environments where the saladette is in near-continuous use. The airflow system is designed to maintain stable temperatures even when lids and doors are opened frequently during a busy service, which is where many lower-specified units struggle. For very high-volume operations running back-to-back services with large teams, it is worth discussing your throughput with us to confirm this model is the right fit or whether a wider configuration would serve you better.
- The CPC3-SS runs on a standard commercial electrical supply and is mounted on castors, so it does not require fixed installation or dedicated drainage in most setups. You will need to allow adequate ventilation clearance at the rear and top of the unit — running it in a confined space without airflow will put unnecessary strain on the refrigeration system and affect performance. If your kitchen runs particularly warm, it is worth factoring ambient temperature into the placement decision.
- The pan rail is designed for standard gastronorm pans and, based on the product classification, accommodates seven pans in the raised rail above the cabinet. Compatibility with specific GN sizes and depths will depend on your pan configuration — if you are working with deep pans or a non-standard layout, it is sensible to confirm compatibility before ordering. Our team can advise on pan arrangements that suit your prep station workflow.
