Designline Slimline Drop-In Multideck Self-Service Chiller 900mm

The Designline Slimline Multideck is a drop-in self-service chiller designed to sit within a prepared countertop or bespoke surround, presenting chilled goods directly to customers at point of sale. At 900mm wide, it offers a practical footprint for grab-and-go counters, deli-style displays, and self-service food stations where customers select items without staff intervention. The curved toughened glass front provides clear sightlines across the product range while keeping the display contained and presentable.

In service, the unit holds a stable temperature across its chilled range, making it suitable for prepared salads, yoghurts, bottled drinks, patisserie, and similar ambient-sensitive products. The R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant system is a sensible choice from both an environmental and running-cost standpoint — R290 tends to deliver lower energy consumption than older synthetic alternatives. A built-in condensate evaporator handles drainage automatically, which removes one routine task from the team during a busy service period.

Day-to-day, the unit offers several practical operational advantages:

• Digital temperature control with lockable settings prevents accidental adjustments during service
• Removable deck plates simplify end-of-day cleaning and restocking
• Three adjustable shelves allow the display layout to be adapted as stock lines change
• Fixed back panel keeps the display self-contained and customer-facing
• Lockable castors allow repositioning for maintenance or deep cleaning without dismantling the counter

As a drop-in unit, it requires a prepared countertop opening cut to the correct dimensions before installation — it is not a freestanding piece of equipment. It should be positioned away from direct heat sources, cooking equipment, and strong draughts, all of which can disrupt temperature stability. At 190kg, handling during installation will need to be planned carefully, and access to a suitable power supply is required.

This unit is well suited to cafés, food-to-go operations, staff restaurants, and hospitality venues where customers self-select chilled items. The 900mm width works well for moderate product ranges, though operators with a significantly larger or more varied chilled display may find a wider or higher-capacity unit better suited to their throughput requirements.

If you are unsure whether this model fits your counter specification, service volume, or kitchen layout, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you proceed.
