Designline Drop-In Multideck 1175mm Self-Service Display Chiller

The Designline Drop-In Multideck is a self-service refrigerated display unit designed to be recessed into a servery or countertop structure. At 1175mm wide, it combines three adjustable chilled glass shelves with a full-size cold well beneath, giving operators a practical, customer-facing way to present refrigerated food and drink throughout the day. The curved toughened glass construction keeps product visible from a natural browsing angle, while the stainless steel and aluminium build is well suited to the cleaning demands of a commercial environment.

The unit maintains food core temperatures between -1°C and 5°C continuously, making it a reliable choice for operations that run across multiple dayparts without powering down. The underslung condensing unit keeps mechanics out of the display space, and because heat rejection is managed through rear venting, most standard counter installations will not require additional canopy work above the unit. That said, the airflow path does need to be correctly accommodated — the inlet grilles and rear vent must be unobstructed, and this is worth confirming with your counter manufacturer or fit-out contractor before the unit is ordered.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several design details are worth noting:

• Each shelf edge carries a 40mm ticket strip, making point-of-sale labelling straightforward
• An integral condensate evaporator removes the need for a floor drain connection
• Removable deck plates simplify routine cleaning and hygiene checks
• The lockable digital temperature display on the gantry prevents accidental adjustment in customer-facing settings
• R290 refrigerant delivers a lower environmental impact and tends to support efficient running costs over time

The unit runs from a standard 13A single-phase supply via the supplied 2m lead and plug top, which keeps commissioning straightforward. At 153kg, access and positioning during installation will need planning, and the structural integrity of the counter into which it drops must be adequate to support the weight.

This unit is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, hotel buffet counters, staff restaurants, and similar operations where customers select chilled food themselves. It is sized for moderate service volumes rather than high-throughput retail. For larger or busier sites requiring greater display capacity, a wider or higher-output model may be the more appropriate choice.
