Williams Onyx CPC4-SS 828 Ltr Four Door Saladette Counter Fridge

The Williams Onyx CPC4-SS is a four-door saladette counter refrigerator designed to support high-volume cold food preparation in professional kitchen environments. With an 828-litre capacity and a worktop-level prep surface fitted with a pan rail above gastronorm storage below, it provides the kind of organised, accessible cold-holding that busy salad, pizza, and cold-side stations depend on during service.

In busy kitchens, the unit's dedicated airflow design helps maintain consistent temperatures across all pan positions, which is important when lids are being opened and closed repeatedly throughout a service period. The refrigerated base keeps bulk ingredients cold and readily accessible, reducing the number of trips to a walk-in and helping to maintain station efficiency when covers are high. The self-closing doors with magnetic balloon gaskets support temperature recovery after each opening, which matters in warm kitchen environments where every door cycle adds load to the refrigeration system.

From an operational standpoint, the Onyx CPC4-SS offers a number of practical advantages for cold prep stations:

• CoolSmart controller helps manage energy use without compromising holding temperatures
• Magnetic balloon gaskets maintain a reliable door seal across a long service life
• Swivel castors with brakes allow the unit to be repositioned for cleaning or reconfiguration
• Integrated lid supports secure overnight storage of prepared ingredients on the pan rail
• Gastronorm-compatible storage beneath the prep surface keeps bulk stock organised and accessible

From an installation standpoint, this is a free-standing unit that requires a standard electrical supply and adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation. It is a large piece of kit — operators should confirm floor space and door access before ordering. It is worth considering the unit's weight when planning placement on older or uneven kitchen floors, and ensuring the installation area has sufficient ventilation to allow the refrigeration system to run efficiently.

The CPC4-SS is well suited to mid-to-large operations running dedicated cold prep stations — pizza restaurants, salad-focused kitchens, sandwich counters, and similar environments where throughput of cold ingredients is consistently high. Smaller operations or those with limited kitchen footprint may find a two-door configuration more appropriate, while very high-volume sites with multiple prep lines may want to consider a heavier-duty or wider alternative.

If you're unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
