EP1440M Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1440M is a large-capacity double-door upright refrigerator configured specifically for raw meat storage. Unlike general-purpose refrigeration, it is built to hold the tighter temperature parameters that safe meat storage demands, making it a dedicated unit rather than a flexible general store.
A cabinet of this size is suited to kitchens with meaningful daily meat throughput — hotels, large restaurants, contract caterers, and production kitchens where separating raw meat from other produce is both a food safety requirement and an operational discipline. The double-door configuration allows independent access to each section, which limits temperature loss during busy service periods compared with fully opening a single large door. Foster's EcoPro G3 platform carries a reliable reputation for maintaining stable temperatures even in warm kitchen environments, and the updated Airlines ventilation system manages compressor heat effectively, supporting consistent performance across long shifts.
Several design details carry genuine day-to-day value for kitchen teams:
- The +stayclear condenser resists dust and grease build-up, reducing maintenance frequency and sustaining efficiency over time
- 304-grade stainless steel on doors and covers handles the wear of a busy kitchen reliably
- The PureControl LED display is straightforward to monitor, with optional building management system connectivity via a gateway
- Cyclopentane insulation foam retains thermal efficiency as the cabinet ages
- The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be repositioned for cleaning without awkward cable management
This is a freestanding cabinet and requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — restricting airflow around the condenser will affect both efficiency and service life. It is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which covers most UK commercial kitchen environments. Access routes, doorway widths, and corridor clearances should all be confirmed ahead of delivery, as a cabinet of this size and weight requires careful positioning. A dedicated electrical supply should be verified with your installer before fitting.
This unit is well suited to medium-to-large operations where dedicated meat storage is a compliance or operational priority. Smaller kitchens with lower meat volume would likely find a single-door or reduced-capacity alternative more proportionate. For very high-volume production sites, a remote-condensing solution may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your storage volume, kitchen layout, or food safety obligations, the team is happy to help before you commit.

EP1440M Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The EP1440M is well suited to medium-to-large operations with significant daily meat throughput, including hotels, large restaurants, and contract caterers. For very high-volume production sites processing substantially larger quantities, a remote-condensing or higher-capacity unit may be a better fit — it is worth discussing your throughput requirements with the team before ordering.
- The EP1440M is a freestanding unit and needs adequate clearance at the rear and sides to allow proper airflow around the condenser — restricting ventilation will affect performance and longevity. A dedicated electrical supply is required, and access routes, doorway widths, and corridor clearances should all be checked ahead of delivery given the cabinet's size and weight.
- This cabinet is configured specifically for raw meat storage and is designed to hold the tighter temperature parameters that dedicated meat refrigeration requires. Using it as a general-purpose chilled store is possible in principle, but its intended and most appropriate use is as a designated raw meat cabinet, which also supports HACCP compliance and cross-contamination controls.
