Product Overview
Twenty-four-hour commissaries ask more from a cold bay than a dinner-only kitchen ever will. The AST-2 comes as a chiller (2~8°C) for cold prep or freezer (0~-15°C) for frozen batches. Fan-assisted circulation handles repeated openings, while a pure copper evaporator supports steady holding under industrial loads. Up top, the stainless surface stays ready for cutting and assembly.
Key Features and Benefits
- Keeps cold air moving through the bay during high-frequency door cycles
- Stainless worktop over cold bay: Places prepped pans beside the cutting and assembly area
- Order the AST-2 as a chiller (2~8°C) or freezer (0~-15°C) for different stations
- Load standard gastronorm pans with proteins, vegetables, or ready-to-plate ingredients
- Pure copper evaporator: Supports steady heat transfer on industrial-volume lines
Where It Works Best
Central kitchens, ghost kitchens, and commissary hubs suit crews that cycle pans through every shift. Caterers and multi-unit operators can standardize the same chassis across locations. Add this workbench to a high-throughput prep package using our restaurant equipment catalog.
