EP1 3M Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/3M is a three-door refrigerated counter designed specifically for raw meat storage in commercial kitchen environments. It sits at standard prep counter height, keeping correctly chilled meat accessible during service while supporting compliance with food safety temperature requirements. This is a purpose-built meat unit, not a general-purpose counter fridge, and that distinction matters in kitchens where raw meat segregation is a regulatory obligation.
Temperature consistency under working conditions is where this unit earns its place in a professional kitchen. The G3 is engineered to hold stable temperatures throughout a full service day, including in warm ambient environments where lesser units can struggle. Recovery after repeated door openings — a genuine concern in any active prep kitchen — is supported by high-performance insulation that retains its thermal properties across the unit's working life. The Airlines ventilation system manages compressor cooling efficiently, reducing unnecessary run time during long shifts.
The G3 generation brings several practical improvements worth noting:
- The +stayclear condenser resists build-up, helping maintain energy efficiency without frequent maintenance intervention.
- PureControl LED display provides clear temperature monitoring and supports optional remote connectivity for oversight across multiple units.
- 304 stainless steel on doors and covers stands up reliably to the impact and wear of a busy kitchen environment.
- A fully floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of door damage under heavy daily use.
- The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning without a full electrical disconnection.
The three-door format occupies a substantial run of counter space, so confirming available worktop length and the position of adjacent equipment before ordering is sensible. The unit requires unobstructed condenser airflow to operate efficiently — placements in confined or poorly ventilated areas should be assessed before installation, and access for routine condenser cleaning should factor into positioning decisions.
This counter is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens, hotel operations, butchery preparation areas, and catering facilities where dedicated meat storage at counter height is both a practical and regulatory requirement. Smaller operations with more modest raw meat storage needs may find a single- or two-door variant a more proportionate fit. For high-throughput sites handling significant daily meat volumes, it is worth discussing whether additional units or a higher-capacity configuration would better serve the operation.
If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout, your storage volumes, or your compliance setup, our team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

EP1 3M Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The EP1/3M is designed and rated specifically for raw meat storage, operating at the lower temperatures required for safe meat holding. If your kitchen needs to store raw meat and general chilled produce at counter level, it is worth considering whether a dedicated meat counter alongside a separate general-purpose unit is a more compliant and practical arrangement — we can help you think through the layout.
- The three-door configuration requires a substantial unobstructed run of counter space, so measuring your available worktop length and confirming clearance from adjacent equipment is an important first step. The unit also needs adequate condenser airflow at the rear or sides — installations in tight or poorly ventilated spaces can affect performance and efficiency, so the placement should be assessed before the unit is delivered.
- Repeated door openings are one of the more demanding real-world conditions for any refrigerated counter, and the G3 is engineered with high-performance insulation to support reliable temperature recovery under those conditions. In a well-ventilated installation, it holds consistent temperatures across a full service period — though as with any refrigerated unit, excessive or prolonged door opening will place additional demand on the refrigeration system.
