The Williams Onyx CPC5-SS is a large-format saladette counter refrigerator designed for kitchens where cold prep throughput is high and ingredient availability during service cannot be compromised. Five doors provide access to substantial gastronorm-compatible storage beneath a full-width prep surface, making it a practical centrepiece for pizza stations, salad assembly lines, and high-volume cold prep sections running back-to-back services.

Williams have a well-established reputation for consistent refrigeration performance in demanding kitchen environments, and the Onyx range reflects that. The unit uses a dedicated airflow system designed to maintain even temperatures across the full width of the cabinet and pan rail. This matters considerably when doors are being opened repeatedly throughout a busy service — temperature drift at the far ends of wide counters is a known weakness in lesser-made equipment of this scale, and the Onyx addresses this through its airflow distribution design rather than relying solely on proximity to the evaporator.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the counter offers several practical advantages:

  • CoolSmart controller helps manage energy consumption across extended operating hours
  • Self-closing doors with magnetic balloon gaskets support reliable sealing between uses
  • Lid provision allows overnight ingredient storage directly within the unit
  • Swivel castors with brakes allow repositioning for deep cleans or kitchen reconfiguration
  • Full stainless steel construction supports straightforward cleaning routines

Installation requires careful planning around footprint. A five-door counter of this capacity is a substantial piece of kit and needs adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. It runs on a standard mains supply, but confirming the circuit load against your existing kitchen infrastructure before installation is advisable. The unit is not suited to locations with restricted airflow or unusually high ambient temperatures, as either condition will reduce refrigeration efficiency and increase running costs over time.

This counter is well suited to medium and large kitchens with consistent demand for cold prep capacity — pizza restaurants, high-volume casual dining, deli counters, and catering operations running extended services. For kitchens with lighter throughput or tighter floor space, a two- or three-door saladette would likely be more appropriate and more economical to run. For sites requiring still greater pan capacity across multiple prep stations, wider configurations are available within the Onyx range.

If you're working out whether the five-door layout suits your station design and service pattern, we're happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is a five-door saladette the right size for our service volume?

A five-door counter is designed for kitchens with consistently high cold prep demand — typically pizza restaurants, large casual dining operations, or catering kitchens running back-to-back services with multiple prep staff. If your cold prep section is operated by one or two people with moderate throughput, a two- or three-door saladette is likely to be more practical and more economical to run. If you're unsure which capacity fits your workflow, it's worth talking through your service pattern before ordering.

What do we need to consider before installing this counter?

The primary considerations are footprint, ventilation clearance, and electrical supply. A five-door counter of this size requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for the refrigeration system to operate efficiently — restricted airflow will reduce performance and increase running costs. The unit runs on a standard mains supply, but confirming your existing circuit capacity against the unit's load requirements before installation is strongly advisable. Ambient kitchen temperature should also be considered, as consistently high ambient conditions can affect refrigeration efficiency.

Can ingredients be stored in the unit overnight with the lid in place?

Yes — the Onyx CPC5-SS includes a lid provision that allows ingredients to be stored directly within the pan rail overnight, which can simplify prep setup at the start of the next service. This is a practical feature for kitchens that pre-portion toppings or salad components in advance, though standard food hygiene practices around covering and labelling stored ingredients still apply.
