It consolidates ingredient storage, chilled topping access, and a working preparation surface into a single unit — a practical arrangement for kitchens where floor space is limited and operational efficiency matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a working pizzeria or similar operation, the value of this type of unit lies in keeping prepped toppings at a safe and consistent temperature directly at the point of assembly. The forced-draft evaporator and internal air circulation help maintain stable temperatures even when doors are opened repeatedly during a busy service — something that matters more than it might appear when a kitchen is running flat out. The unit uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which is an environmentally considered choice and increasingly common in commercial refrigeration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel interior and exterior for thorough cleaning and long-term durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-length ergonomic door handles that are practical under service pressure and reduce dirt accumulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible shelf positioning inside the cabinet to accommodate different container and storage needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLockable doors with replaceable gaskets to support stock security and extend service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to Climate Class 4, giving confidence in warmer kitchen environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is uncomplicated for most commercial kitchens. The unit runs on a standard single-phase electrical supply and requires no gas connection or specialist drainage beyond standard condensate management.

If your kitchen runs particularly warm, it is worth confirming the ambient temperature against the unit's climate class rating before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SPIZ-135 is well suited to independent pizzerias, small restaurant kitchens, and café operations where a two-door under-counter unit provides sufficient cold storage alongside a working prep rail.

For operators with very limited run space, a single-door alternative may be worth considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout or the volume you are running, our team is happy to talk it through with you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sterling Pro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40296122581052,"sku":"SPIZ-135","price":1527.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/sterling-pro-green-spiz-135.webp?v=1659449623"},{"product_id":"sterling-pro-cobus-spu200pz-240-ltr-2-door-prep-counter-5-x-1-6gn","title":"Sterling Pro SPU200PZ 240Ltr 2-Door Pizza Prep Counter 5x1\/6GN","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sterling Pro SPU200PZ is a refrigerated pizza prep counter that combines a two-door under-counter cabinet with a five-well pan rail across the top. The pan rail holds 1\/6 GN inserts at working height, keeping portioned toppings chilled and within arm's reach of the assembly point, while the cabinet beneath provides 240 litres of cold storage for bulk ingredients and backup stock.

The fan-assisted refrigeration system maintains steady temperatures across both the cabinet and the top pan section, even during a Friday or Saturday service when the unit is being opened and closed regularly.
