Description
The Thermaster SCB/15 is a refrigerated cold bain marie that keeps fresh toppings and ingredients at safe serving temperatures in high-throughput sandwich, salad, and café prep environments. The 1480 mm counter features a blown-well design with cross-flow pan cooling, holding seven 1/3 GN pan wells at +2 to +8°C while operators work directly from the bench surface.
Why operators choose the SCB/15
-
Blown-well cross-flow cooling — chilled air circulates beneath each pan well, maintaining consistent temperature across all seven positions without mechanical contact with product.
-
Completely removable refrigeration unit — the self-contained compressor module slides out independently for fast on-site servicing without disturbing the bench.
-
Aspera compressors & German EBM-Pabst fans — commercial-grade components rated for continuous operation in ambient conditions up to 33°C and 75% RH.
-
Digital temperature control & read-out — operators confirm the holding temperature at a glance; auto defrost and self-evaporating drainage reduce daily maintenance.
-
PE cutting board included — board ships in the box; 230 mm deep working area and 855 mm bench height suit standard AU ergonomic workflows.

Venue suitability: The SCB/15 suits sandwich shops, salad bars, deli counters, cafés, hotel buffets, and quick-service restaurants where continuous cold ingredient access at a prep bench is required. The removable refrigeration module is particularly valued in venues with limited servicing access. Browse the full Cold Bain Maries range or explore all Thermaster refrigeration equipment.
Installation & delivery: The SCB/15 ships on castors and connects to a standard 240V/10A single-phase outlet — no trade installation required. Pans are not included; tops are holding units and product must be pre-chilled below 5°C before filling. Dispatched Australia-wide.
Frequently asked questions
Are GN pans included? No — pans are not included. The unit accepts seven 1/3 GN pans. Confirm compatible pan depths with your supplier to ensure correct fit in the blown-well configuration.
Does the refrigeration unit need to be hardwired? No — the SCB/15 runs on a standard 240V single-phase supply (460W). No trade electrical work is required for installation.
What refrigerant does the SCB/15 use? R134a — a widely available commercial refrigerant compatible with all standard AU service technicians.
Do the sliding pan covers need to be in place during service? Yes — sliding pan covers must be used during operation to maintain the correct holding temperature of +2 to +8°C. The blown-well system relies on the enclosed pan area to circulate chilled air efficiently.
Can the refrigeration unit be serviced on-site? Yes — the self-contained refrigeration module is completely removable without disturbing the bench or adjacent equipment, which significantly reduces service downtime in busy kitchens.
