The Arctic Air AST72R Sandwich Prep Table
The Arctic Air AST72R 71.5" Standard-Top Sandwich/Salad Prep Table is a high-capacity, commercial-grade solution for cold ingredient storage and food preparation. Built for reliability, this prep table maintains consistent refrigeration performance, durable construction, and user-friendly functionality for busy kitchens and delis.
The AST72R includes eighteen 1/6-size clear Lexan pans and a full-length, heavy-duty 5/8" thick cutting board (11-3/8" depth). Added top space allows for extra pan rows, offering flexibility in ingredient organization. Three vaulted, self-closing doors stay open at 90° for convenient restocking and access, while foamed-in-place recessed handles ensure ease of use. The white ABS interior with a stainless steel floor and coved corners makes cleaning quick and simple, while the stainless steel exterior ensures strength and a polished professional appearance.
This prep table uses a rear-mounted, self-contained capillary tube refrigeration system operating with environmentally friendly R290 Hydrocarbon refrigerant. The electronic thermostat and external digital LED display provide accurate temperature control from 33°F to 41°F. Large fan motors and blades enhance airflow for fast temperature recovery, while a hot gas condensate loop helps efficiently evaporate excess water. NSF Standard 7 certified and equipped with 3” casters (two locking), the AST72R is backed by Arctic Air’s two-year parts and labor warranty plus a five-year compressor warranty.
