Foster FPS 4 HR Refrigerated Prep Station 570 Ltr

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Foster FPS 4 HR is a refrigerated preparation counter combining an open pan section at worktop level with a refrigerated storage cabinet beneath. The pan section holds up to twelve one-third GN pans, keeping chilled ingredients accessible at the point of preparation without requiring chefs to move away from the work surface. It is commonly used in pizza kitchens, saladette counters, deli sections, sandwich bars, and café prep stations where multiple ingredients need to be held at safe temperatures throughout service.
The practical value of this type of unit in a working kitchen comes from compressing the preparation process into a single station. Ingredients are at the top, replenishment stock is directly below, and the operator stays in position throughout service. An inner catch-tray in the pan section prevents food debris from migrating into the storage cabinet, reducing both contamination risk and the time required for end-of-service cleaning. The rear-mounted refrigeration system keeps the interior of the storage cabinet fully unobstructed and allows servicing without significant disruption to the kitchen layout.
Key operational benefits include:
- Twelve GN pan positions keep ingredients chilled and within reach during service
- Catch-tray design limits cross-contamination between the pan section and storage cabinet
- Rear-mounted refrigeration leaves interior storage space fully clear
- Consolidated prep and storage reduces unnecessary movement during busy service periods
- Stainless steel construction handles the demands of continuous daily use
Installation requires a standard electrical connection and adequate rear clearance for ventilation. In enclosed or tight kitchen layouts, confirming airflow around the refrigeration system at the planning stage is advisable. It is also worth checking worktop height against existing preparation surfaces before installation, particularly where staff work long shifts, as ergonomic mismatches become noticeable over time. Floor levelness and load-bearing capacity should be confirmed prior to positioning the unit.
This unit is well suited to medium-volume operations — pizza restaurants, pub kitchens, café prep lines, and deli counters where a dedicated prep station supports consistent throughput across a full service period. For sites running extended hours with very high ingredient turnover, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity configuration would be a closer match for the demand.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Foster FPS 4 HR suited to a high-volume pizza or deli operation?
It is well matched to medium-volume sites — pizza restaurants, deli counters, pub kitchens, and café prep lines where a twelve-pan capacity supports a full service period comfortably. If your operation runs extended hours with very rapid ingredient turnover, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity prep station would be a better fit before ordering.
What are the key installation requirements for this unit?
The unit requires a standard electrical connection and sufficient rear clearance for the refrigeration system to ventilate properly. In enclosed kitchen layouts, airflow around the rear of the unit should be confirmed at the planning stage. Floor levelness and load-bearing capacity should also be checked prior to installation, and worktop height should be compared against existing prep surfaces to avoid ergonomic issues for staff working long shifts.
How does the catch-tray design help with food hygiene compliance?
The inner catch-tray sits between the pan section and the storage cabinet below, preventing food debris and spillage from the working surface migrating into the refrigerated storage area. This reduces cross-contamination risk during service and makes end-of-day cleaning more straightforward, which is particularly useful in kitchens operating under regular environmental health inspection.
