Description
The Thermaster SLB240 is a four-door sandwich and salad prep bar fridge that keeps pre-chilled ingredients at a consistent +2 to +5°C, ready for high-volume service in commercial kitchens, sandwich bars, and hospitality venues.
Why operators choose the SLB240
-
Large 525 L refrigerated volume — 12 × 1/3 GN pans at 150 mm deep keep a full mise en place within easy reach across a 2400 mm bench run.
-
Blown-well cross-flow pan cooling — EBM-Pabst fans circulate chilled air directly around the ingredient pans, maintaining food safety temperatures even at 38°C ambient with 60% RH.
-
Secop compressor reliability — a trusted commercial refrigeration compressor engineered for continuous operation in demanding kitchen environments.
-
Hygiene-first interior — rounded internal corners, auto defrost, and self-evaporating drainage minimise cleaning time between service periods.
-
PE cutting board, pan lids, and dividers included — bench is prep-ready out of the box; castors allow repositioning without tools.
