  • Top-Tier Cooling: The forced air system recovers temperature incredibly fast, even with constant use.
  • Pans Not Included: Remember to factor in the cost of buying the GN pans separately.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Dough & Co.', a popular pizzeria in the heart of Liverpool, were finding their old setup was causing bottlenecks during Friday night service. They upgraded to the King KPT187 refrigerated pizza prep table to centralise their workflow.

"Our prep line used to be chaotic, with chefs running between separate fridges and  the prep bench. This counter has brought everything into one organised, fast-moving station. The difference on a busy night is incredible."

Robert Davies – Owner, Dough & Co.

Since installation, the pizzeria has seen a measurable increase in order capacity, allowing them to serve an extra 20 pizzas per hour during their peak service times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Once in position, let the unit stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant gases to settle.
  • Ensure there's a gap of at least 20cm around the unit for good air circulation to the motor.
  • Plug directly into a standard 13 amp socket – avoid using extension cords for safety.
  • Use a spirit level to ensure the counter is perfectly flat before loading it with stock for optimal performance.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  food-safe cleaner.
  • Check the door seals weekly to ensure they are clean and  creating a tight seal to keep the cold air in.
  • Gently brush or vacuum the condenser coils (usually at the back or side) monthly to remove dust build-up.
  • Ensure the automatic defrost drain hole is clear of any debris to prevent water blockages.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Prep Counter

Feeling a bit lost in the world of prep counters? Here’s a quick guide to help you find the perfect match for your business.

1. Measure Your Space & Volume

Before you buy, measure the spot it's going in! Also, consider your menu. A high-volume pizzeria needs a wider counter with more GN pan capacity than a small cafe.

2. Check the Build Quality

Look for full stainless steel construction, inside and  out. It's the industry standard for a reason – it's durable, hygienic, and  easy to keep looking professional.

3. Understand the Cooling System

For busy kitchens, forced-air (or fan-assisted) cooling is a must. It keeps temperatures even and  recovers quickly after the doors have been opened, protecting your stock.

4. Two Doors or Three?

Think about your bulk storage needs. A 3 door pizza prep counter like this one offers significantly more undercounter space than a 2-door model, ideal for larger operations.

5. Power & Placement

Most units like this run on a standard 13-amp plug, but always check. Ensure your chosen spot allows for good ventilation around the sides and  back to prevent the motor from overworking.

How Forced Air Cooling Keeps Your Toppings Fresher for Longer

Ever notice how in a regular home fridge, items at the back sometimes freeze while those in the door feel warmer? That's 'static cooling'. This three door saladette counter uses 'Forced Air Circulation', which is a totally different ball game. Think of it like a convection oven, but for chilling instead of cooking. A small, powerful fan actively blows the cold air all around the inside of the cabinet and  the topping wells.

This constant circulation means there are no warmer or colder spots. Every single ingredient, from the pepperoni in the front corner to the mozzarella at the back, is held at the exact same, safe temperature. It's especially important in a busy kitchen where the lids and  doors are opened constantly. The fan ensures the temperature recovers almost instantly, keeping your food fresher, safer, and  ready for service.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pizzeria & Takeaway Shops: This is the perfect central hub for assembling pizzas, kebabs, or salads with maximum speed and  efficiency.
  • Busy Cafes & Bistros: An ideal station for preparing fresh sandwiches, paninis, and  salads with all ingredients perfectly chilled and  to hand.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Create a brilliant 'build your own' sandwich or salad bar to offer customers fresh, customised lunch options.
  • University & College Canteens: Drastically speeds up service during the busy lunch rush for high-volume food preparation.
