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

The Designline Slimline Multideck is a drop-in self-service chiller unit designed to sit within a 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 their own items without staff intervention. The curved toughened glass front provides clear sightlines to the product range while keeping the display tidy and professional.

In service, the unit holds a stable temperature range suitable for chilled patisserie, yoghurts, bottled drinks, prepared salads, and similar ambient-sensitive products. The R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant system is a practical choice from both an environmental and running-cost perspective — R290 is an efficient refrigerant that tends to keep energy consumption lower than older synthetic alternatives. A built-in water evaporator manages condensate automatically, reducing the need for manual drainage management during a busy service period.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several useful day-to-day advantages:

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

Being a drop-in format, this unit requires a prepared countertop opening to the correct cut-out dimensions before installation. It is not a freestanding unit. Access to a suitable power supply will be needed, and as with any refrigerated display, it should be positioned away from direct heat sources or strong draughts that could affect temperature stability. At 190kg, handling and positioning during installation will require planning.

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 — operators with a significantly larger or more varied chilled display may find a wider or deeper capacity unit more appropriate for their throughput.
