Williams Counter Fridges

The Williams Jade MJC3-SA is a three-door refrigerated counter built specifically for raw meat storage in professional kitchen environments. Unlike a standard chilled counter, it operates within the tighter temperature band required for safe meat holding — making it a deliberate, purpose-specific choice rather than a general-purpose unit pressed into service for the role. Three individually sealed door compartments allow kitchen teams to organise by cut, species, or preparation stage without compromising temperature stability across the unit.

In a working kitchen, the real measure of any meat fridge is how reliably it holds temperature when doors are opened repeatedly throughout a busy service. The Jade is designed with airflow distribution that maintains even cooling across the cabinet interior, recovering promptly after door openings rather than allowing warm pockets to develop. Self-closing magnetic gaskets contribute to this — doors that seal consistently every time reduce the recovery burden on the refrigeration circuit, which has a direct bearing on both food safety and running costs over time.

From an operational standpoint, the counter offers several practical advantages worth noting:

• Barrel-locked doors provide a layer of security for high-value meat stock
• CoolSmart controller with IP55-rated display handles the demands of a humid, busy kitchen reliably
• Self-closing doors reduce the risk of temperature drift during service
• Counter-height format provides a usable prep surface above the unit
• Quiet operation avoids adding unnecessary noise to the working environment

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this class, but it is worth confirming that your kitchen layout allows adequate clearance at the rear and sides for condenser airflow. Positioning near high-heat equipment — ranges, fryers, or solid-top ovens — can affect refrigeration performance, so placement deserves careful thought before the unit goes in. A standard electrical connection is required; no specialist supply is typically needed, but always confirm with your installer before proceeding.

The MJC3-SA is well suited to hotel and restaurant kitchens with dedicated meat preparation sections, butchery operations, and catering businesses where raw meat volumes justify purpose-specific temperature-controlled storage. For smaller operations or lighter throughput, a single- or two-door configuration is likely a more proportionate fit. At the other end of the scale, high-volume production sites processing very large daily quantities may find a full-height cabinet or a larger counter solution better matched to their output.

If you are working out whether this unit fits your kitchen layout, service volumes, or food safety requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you make a decision.

The Williams Jade HJC4-SA is a four-door refrigerated counter providing 622 litres of usable cold storage beneath a working surface. It is designed to sit on the kitchen pass or prep line, keeping ingredients at correct holding temperatures while remaining directly accessible during service. The unit is built around Williams' CoolSmart controller — a capacitive touch interface with an IP55-rated display — which gives operators straightforward temperature monitoring and adjustment without the need to open the cabinet.

In a busy kitchen, consistent temperature recovery is one of the most demanding tests for any refrigerated counter. Frequent door openings during service, warm ingredients loaded mid-shift, and high ambient temperatures can all pull a unit off its target range. The Jade range is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it a practical choice for kitchens where heat build-up around the counter is a known problem. The enhanced airflow system works to maintain even temperature distribution across the full cabinet, reducing the risk of warm spots or product temperature variation between shelves.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages of this unit include:

• Low noise output, worth considering in open kitchen and counter-service environments
• Anti-condensation door heaters as standard, reducing surface moisture in humid conditions
• Raised pan holders or cut-out wells available on temperature-specific models, supporting direct GN pan working
• Polyurethane insulation contributing to strong thermal retention between compressor cycles
• A-rated energy efficiency on 'H' door models, helping manage running costs over the unit's lifespan

Installation requires consideration of both the electrical supply and ventilation clearance around the unit. Restricted airflow to the condenser is one of the most common causes of premature compressor strain, so confirming adequate clearance is essential. The unit's footprint is substantial — confirming the available counter run, including adjacent equipment and service access routes, is important before ordering. High-ambient kitchens with limited ventilation are worth discussing in advance of specifying.

This counter is well suited to mid-to-high-volume operations such as hotel kitchens, contract catering facilities, large restaurant kitchens, and production environments requiring a long run of refrigerated prep space. For smaller operations with lower storage demand, a two- or three-door counter is likely a better fit. At the other end of the scale, very high-volume sites with intensive daily throughput may benefit from reviewing whether a heavier-duty configuration would hold up better over time.

If you are weighing up whether the Jade HJC4-SA suits your kitchen layout, service pattern, or ambient conditions, the team is glad to talk it through before you make a decision.

The Williams Jade MJC2-SA is a two-door refrigerated counter built specifically for raw meat storage in professional kitchen environments. Unlike a standard refrigerated counter, this unit is engineered to hold the tighter temperature range that raw protein requires, making it a practical choice for butchery preparation sections, large kitchen brigades with a dedicated meat station, and any operation where separating raw protein storage is a hygiene and food safety priority.

In regular service, the unit is designed to maintain stable temperatures even with frequent door access during prep shifts. Forced-air circulation distributes cold air evenly throughout the cabinet, which is particularly useful when storing different cuts at varying depths. Recovery after loading or repeated access is consistent, which matters when the counter is in continuous use across a busy prep period.

From an operational standpoint, the Jade MJC2-SA offers several practical advantages:

• CoolSmart capacitive touch controller with digital display for straightforward temperature monitoring
• Visual temperature alarms to alert staff to deviations without relying on manual checks
• Self-closing doors with magnetic balloon gaskets to maintain a reliable seal between uses
• Stainless steel exterior and aluminium interior — durable, food-safe, and easy to clean down thoroughly
• Removable racking to allow flexible interior configuration and thorough cleaning access

As a counter-height unit, the MJC2-SA is designed to sit beneath a standard preparation surface, integrating naturally into kitchens where worktop space above refrigeration is part of the layout. It runs on a standard electrical supply without the need for a dedicated water connection. Adequate clearance around the unit should be maintained to allow the condensing system to operate efficiently — it is worth confirming available space and airflow before installation.

The two-door configuration suits medium to high prep volumes. For lower-demand operations, a single-door unit may be sufficient, while larger sites with greater throughput might find a full-height or multi-section alternative more appropriate. This unit is particularly well suited to hotels, pub kitchens, and restaurant operations handling significant volumes of raw meat within the prep area itself.

If you are reviewing your cold storage provision or planning a layout change, we are happy to talk through where this unit fits within your broader refrigeration setup.

The Williams Jade HJC2-SA is a two-door under-counter refrigerator designed to keep ingredients at the point of use during service. At worktop height and with 317 litres of capacity split across two compartments, it fits naturally into a kitchen counter run and provides reliable chilled storage without requiring operators to leave the pass or prep station to retrieve ingredients.

Williams has built the Jade around a front-breathing refrigeration system, which means all airflow is handled from the front of the unit. In practical terms, this removes the need for clearance gaps at the sides or rear — a meaningful advantage in kitchens where every centimetre of counter space is accounted for. Defrost water is evaporated using recycled compressor heat, so in the majority of installations no drain connection is required, simplifying placement options considerably. The CoolSmart capacitive touch controller carries an IP55 moisture rating, making it reliable in the damp, steam-heavy conditions typical of a working kitchen.

In day-to-day operation, the design translates into several practical advantages:

• Self-closing doors with barrel locks help prevent accidental temperature loss during a busy service
• Magnetic balloon gaskets maintain a consistent seal under repeated daily use
• Adjustable nylon-coated wire shelves accept 1/1 GN containers for straightforward organisation
• Heavy-duty braked castors allow the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning without disconnecting services
• Rated for ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it suitable for hot kitchen environments

The stainless steel exterior and aluminium interior with radiused corners are sensible material choices — both handle the knocks of a working environment, and the absence of tight interior angles makes cleaning faster and more thorough. The A energy rating is worth factoring into the total cost of ownership alongside the purchase price, particularly given that refrigeration runs continuously.

This counter is well suited to small and medium operations — cafés, gastropubs, hotel kitchens, and restaurant prep areas where a dependable under-counter dairy or ingredient fridge is needed close to service. For higher-volume sites with more frequent door openings, or where a larger footprint can be accommodated, a heavier-duty unit from the same range may be worth considering. If a single-door counter would meet your needs, smaller alternatives are available.

If you are weighing up whether the capacity and layout suit your kitchen, we are glad to talk it through before you make a decision.

The Williams Jade HJC3-SA is a three door refrigerated counter providing 469 litres of chilled storage directly at the prep line. It is designed to keep ingredients accessible during service without requiring staff to leave the work area, and its counter-height build integrates into a standard prep run without disrupting workflow or worktop continuity.

Williams has a well-established reputation in demanding foodservice environments, and the Jade range is built to reflect that. The airflow system is engineered to hold consistent temperatures across all three compartments even when doors are opened repeatedly throughout a busy service. The CoolSmart controller with its IP55-rated display is suited to the moisture and cleaning exposure found in a working kitchen, and self-closing doors with magnetic balloon gaskets help maintain the seal reliably when staff are working quickly. In a kitchen running at volume, these are the kind of details that reduce temperature excursions and protect stock over time.

From an operational standpoint, the counter offers several practical advantages:

• Counter-height design keeps chilled ingredients within reach throughout service
• Consistent temperature distribution across all three sections reduces spoilage risk
• Low noise output suits open kitchen and front-of-house adjacent positions
• Barrel-locked doors support stock security in high-footfall kitchen environments
• A-rated energy performance on qualifying configurations helps manage long-term running costs

Before installation, ventilation clearance requirements should be confirmed — particularly in enclosed counter runs where airflow around the condensing unit may be restricted. Electrical supply suitability for your site should also be checked prior to ordering. The unit's footprint works well in medium to large prep areas, but kitchens with a constrained floor run should measure carefully before committing.

The HJC3-SA is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and contract catering kitchens where a reliable, high-capacity refrigerated prep counter is needed at the pass or on the main prep line. For very high-volume operations with more intensive duty cycles or greater storage requirements, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty configuration would be a better match.
