Everest ECB82-86D4 86 In. Four Drawer Chef Base Refrigerator, 1,084 Lb. Equipment Capacity, Side Mount Blizzard R290

The Everest ECB82-86D4 runs an 86 1/4 inch worktop over the same 82 3/8 inch four drawer cabinet as Everest's standard 82 inch ECB Series chef base, the longest top in the 82 inch cabinet group for equipment lineups that need every inch of landing space. The 16-gauge stainless steel top is rated to carry 1,084 pounds of cooking equipment, and the four refrigerated drawers stage (10) full size pans at 33°F to 54°F directly below the cookline.

Anti-Warp 16-Gauge Worktop Rated to Carry 1,084 Lbs. of Cooking Equipment

Heat is what ruins an ordinary equipment stand, so Everest builds the 16-gauge stainless steel worktop with an extra layer of high-grade insulation and an integrated air chamber with vents that redirect and mitigate the heat coming off the equipment above. Instead of warping under a hot griddle, the top stays flat while the cabinet under it stays cold without driving up energy costs. Thick gauge stainless steel corner guards keep mounted equipment from sliding off the worktop when the line gets bumped, and 12-gauge metal caster brackets are built to carry the added weight riding on top. Plan the install around one operating rule from Everest: keep a minimum 6 inch clearance between your equipment's heating element and the worktop surface.

Four Refrigerated Drawers with Ball Bearing Frames and 4 In. Deep Pans

The four drawers ship with (10) full size polycarbonate pans, each 4 inches deep, riding in thick gauge stainless steel drawer frames on low-friction ball bearings that pull smoothly with every pan loaded. Snap-in, heat resistant magnetic gaskets seal each drawer and pop out by hand for cleaning or replacement, and high strength recessed handles keep the drawer faces flush with the line. Behind them the cabinet is heavy duty stainless steel inside and out with rounded corners, an open interior with no walls between compartments, a galvanized steel bottom and rear, and 2.5 inch thick high density polyurethane insulation in both the cabinet and the drawers. The unit gives you a wide bank with 41 1/4 inch openings beside a 28 1/4 inch bank.

Side Mounted Blizzard R290 Cartridge That Swaps without On-Site Brazing

Cooling comes from Everest's Blizzard R290, a self-contained, fully detachable condensing unit mounted on the side of the cabinet. Because the whole cartridge is replaceable without on-site brazing, a worn-out system means a swap rather than days of open-flame repair next to your line. Electronically commutated fan motors cool quickly on less energy, a full-length air duct moves cold air across the cabinet, and large capacity, corrosion-resistant condenser and evaporator coils stand up to kitchen conditions. An auto-reverse condenser fan motor supports compressor ventilation and helps keep the condenser coil clean, pressure relief devices let drawers reopen right after closing, and the self-maintaining condensate drain pan evaporates moisture without an external drain line or electric heater. The R290 refrigerant is EPA-compliant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three.

Digital Controller That Holds 33°F to 54°F with an Overheat Alarm

A multi-function digital controller with an easy to read LED display arrives factory preset at 35°F and adjusts anywhere from 33°F to 54°F to suit what the station stores. Defrost runs on its own time-initiated, temperature-terminated cycle, so there is no manual defrost schedule to keep, and an audible overheat alarm flags trouble at the compressor or condenser coil before product is at risk.

From the factory the base rolls on six 5 inch swivel casters with locks on the front set, plus three front leg stabilizers standard for once it is parked, and heavy duty stainless steel grips give your crew a secure hold when the station moves for cleaning. Everest also offers an optional 3 inch overall height caster assembly (CASA3-02, three front and three rear) and 3.5 to 6 inch height-adjustable, interchangeable legs (AJL03-01) when the cookline needs the worktop to land at a different height.

Pick the ECB82-86D4 when the cookline needs the full 86 1/4 inches of landing length over an 82 3/8 inch cabinet: the top runs 86 1/4 by 32 1/8 inches and stands 25 inches tall on the standard casters, with a 41 1/4 inch wide drawer bank and a 28 1/4 inch bank below. If less overhang will do, the 84 inch and standard 82 inch models carry the same drawers and load rating in less length; heavier batteries with bigger storage needs point to the 96 inch model. It is strictly a refrigerator, with a setting floor of 33°F, so it holds fresh product rather than frozen. Power is a standard 115V/60Hz single phase connection on a NEMA 5-15P plug with a 9 foot cord.
