Why this prep counter earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA080 combines refrigerated storage with dedicated dough handling in one footprint, built specifically for pizzerias and kitchens running high volumes of fresh dough and toppings. Below the granite worktop sits 266 litres of usable chilled storage, while seven ambient — not chilled — dough drawers give rapid access to proved dough without opening the fridge section.
The chilled section holds +2 to +8°C via ventilated cooling across two shelves, rated Climate Class 5 for reliable performance in busy kitchens, while the dough drawers run at ambient temperature between 16 and 40°C — exactly where dough needs to sit before use. Net usable capacity is 266 litres in a 428-litre-class unit, and the counter fits 600x400mm bakery sheets directly.
Construction is stainless steel throughout with a solid granite worktop that stays cool for rolling dough and shrugs off constant contact. Refrigerant is R600a, the counter runs on a 13A supply at 230V, and it's rated Energy Class B at 846.8kWh a year (EEI 34.3%). Automatic defrost and self-closing doors keep day-to-day operation and running costs in check, and the unit sits on sturdy castors for positioning. It's backed by a 2-year parts and labour warranty and weighs a substantial 362kg gross.
