EP700M Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700M is a single door upright refrigerator built specifically for raw meat storage in commercial kitchen environments. Unlike a general-purpose chiller, it is configured to hold the lower temperature range required for raw protein, making it a practical choice where food safety compliance, HACCP controls, and the separation of raw meat from other produce are non-negotiable operational requirements.
In a working kitchen, a dedicated meat cabinet earns its place by removing the compromises that come with using general refrigeration for raw protein. Consistent temperature holding through a busy service — deliveries arriving, doors opening regularly, ambient kitchen heat — is where the EcoPro G3 range is built to perform. Foster's +stayclear condenser resists dust and grease build-up over time, and the cyclopentane foam insulation supports long-term thermal efficiency rather than just on installation day. The airlines ventilation system reduces compressor run time, which in a high-use environment translates to lower energy consumption and reduced wear across the unit's working life.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several design details matter in practice:
- PureControl LED display with straightforward navigation and an optional connectivity gateway for monitoring
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers, durable under heavy kitchen use and easy to clean down thoroughly
- Fully floating lock that resists breakage if a key is left in — a small detail that avoids a recurring maintenance call
- Helicoil mains lead allowing the unit to be moved for cleaning without disconnecting from the supply
- Rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, suited to warm or poorly ventilated kitchen spaces
Installation is straightforward for a freestanding upright of this type. It requires a standard single-phase electrical supply, adequate clearance at the rear and top for ventilation, and a level floor. Position the unit away from direct heat sources — ovens, fryers, or heated pass equipment — where possible, to avoid placing unnecessary load on the refrigeration circuit. Check door swing clearance against your kitchen layout before finalising placement.
The EP700M is well suited to butchers, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and catering operations where a dedicated raw meat refrigerator is required to meet food hygiene regulations. The 600-litre capacity suits medium to high volume sites. For smaller operations with modest throughput, a compact undercounter or smaller upright may be more proportionate. For high-volume sites processing large quantities of raw protein daily, a larger capacity or multi-door configuration is worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your storage volumes, kitchen layout, or compliance set-up, the team is available before you commit to an order.

EP700M Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The 600-litre capacity is well suited to medium to high volume sites — hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and catering operations with regular raw meat throughput. If your site processes relatively modest quantities of raw protein, a smaller upright or undercounter unit may be more proportionate and energy-efficient. For very high-volume operations handling large quantities daily, a multi-door or higher-capacity configuration is worth discussing with the team.
- The EP700M requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and adequate clearance at the rear and top of the unit for ventilation. It should be positioned on a level floor surface and kept away from direct heat sources such as ovens or fryers where possible, as proximity to heat increases the load on the refrigeration circuit. Check door swing clearance against your kitchen layout before fixing on a position.
- A dedicated meat cabinet is configured to hold the lower temperature range required for safe raw protein storage, which a general-purpose chiller may not consistently achieve or may achieve only by compromising storage conditions for other produce. In kitchens operating under HACCP controls or food hygiene regulations, a dedicated unit also provides the physical separation of raw meat from ready-to-eat foods that inspectors and food safety plans typically require.
