Heavy-duty food-grade polyethylene cutting board runs along the front, providing an optimal workspace for assembling pizzas, salads, and sandwiches.
Pizza and Salad Prep Table Chiller for QSR and Restaurant Kitchens in Dubai
FIAMMA's Pizza and Salad Prep Chiller integrates a refrigerated top section, 9 × GN 1/3 ingredient pans, an insulated retractable hood, a food-grade polyethylene cutting board, and an under-counter refrigerated cabinet into a single 1800 × 800 × 1050mm workstation. This consolidated design eliminates the fragmented workflow of separately positioned prep tables and ingredient refrigerators, enabling pizza assembly, salad construction, and sandwich making to occur from a single ergonomically designed station. The under-counter cabinet maintains +2°C to +8°C using R134a or R290 refrigerant, keeping bulk ingredient supplies cold immediately below the prep surface for rapid restocking of the GN pans above. The heavy-duty food-grade PE cutting board runs along the full front edge, providing a dedicated workspace for ingredient assembly and plating.
9 × GN 1/3 Pan Cooling System and Retractable Insulated Hood
The top pan section is cooled by a dedicated evaporator line running beneath the GN pan rails — a direct-contact refrigeration design that maintains ingredient temperatures in the critical +2°C to +8°C range even in hot kitchen environments. This is a fundamentally more effective cooling approach than the forced-air alternatives used in some saladette designs, where warm kitchen air mixes with the cold air above open pans and compromises temperature stability. The retractable insulated stainless steel hood cover can be closed over the pan section during preparation gaps and service transitions, dramatically reducing heat ingress and maintaining ingredient temperatures during periods when the pans are not being actively accessed. A full set of 9 GN 1/3 stainless steel pans is included with the 1800mm model.
Prep Chiller Applications for Pizza Chains, Sandwich Bars, and Hotel Kitchens in UAE
Pizza chain operations across Dubai's competitive QSR market specify FIAMMA prep tables as the core production station for their assembly lines, where speed of ingredient access and cold-chain compliance are both critical operational requirements under UAE HACCP kitchen licensing. Hotel kitchen departments managing salad bar preparation and Mediterranean mezze stations rely on the 1800mm length to accommodate the full range of pre-portioned ingredient types required for multi-item appetizer menus. Sandwich bar operators in Dubai's business district cafe market use the prep chiller to hold chilled protein, vegetable, and sauce components at safe temperatures throughout continuous trading hours without the need for back-and-forth trips to separate refrigeration units.
