Everest EGC50 50 In. Glass and Plate Chiller, 2 Locking Solid Slide Lids, 15 Cu. Ft., 230 Mug Capacity, Black Vinyl Exterior, LED Lighting

The Everest EGC50 is the two lid step up in the EGC Series, a 50 inch solid slide lid glass and plate chiller for bars where two bartenders pull frosted glassware at once and kitchens that stage chilled plates beside them. The chest runs a true freezer-class range, -10°F to 54°F with a factory preset of -4°F, so glassware comes off the rail frosted instead of merely cool, and the 15 cubic foot interior stages up to 230 eight-inch mugs behind two slide lids over separate 22 1/2 inch openings.

Retractable Blizzard R290 Cartridge that Swaps without On-Site Brazing

The condensing unit is a self-contained, retractable Blizzard R290 cartridge that is fully detachable and replaceable in the field with no on-site brazing. Unlike a conventional sealed system repair that can park the chiller in a back hallway while a refrigeration tech opens the circuit, a cartridge swap puts the unit back behind the bar the same visit. The cartridge runs EPA-compliant R290 refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three.

Electronically commutated fan motors pull the chest down to freezer temperatures while drawing less energy, and a full-length air duct keeps cold air moving across the glassware instead of pooling under the lids. The defrost cycle is time-initiated and temperature-terminated with its own defrost heater, so frost on the coil never gets a vote, and condensate evaporates from a self-maintaining drain pan with no external drain. Large capacity, corrosion-resistant condenser and evaporator coils carry the cooling load, while a high performance, auto-reverse condenser fan supports compressor ventilation and helps keep the condenser coil clean.

Two Ratchet-Locking Solid Slide Lids over 230 Frosted Mugs

Each solid slide lid is built like the cabinet it covers: heavy duty stainless steel outside, galvanized steel inside, with 3/4 inch of high density polyurethane insulation in between, so sliding one station open does not bleed the frost off the rest of the load. Removable ratchet locks keep your items safe from theft overnight, and the chest below holds 230 eight-inch mugs or the mixed glassware and plate load that actually fills 15 cubic feet.

Inside, the chest is open spaced with no walls between compartments. Five epoxy coated, steel wire shelves ride on two sliding levels, so the bartender pulls a shelf toward the light instead of digging blind, and stacked plates ride a level of their own above the galvanized steel interior floor.

Stainless Steel Countertop and Rails over a Black Vinyl Cabinet

The heavy duty stainless steel countertop and rails turn the top of the chiller into working bar surface, and the body wears a textured laminate, black vinyl exterior that blends into the front of the house better than bare metal. Shielded LED bar lighting on its own on/off switch lights the load so frosted mugs and plate stacks read clearly even with the backbar lights down.

The cabinet carries 1 3/4 inch thick high density polyurethane insulation to hold a below-zero setpoint without running the compressor ragged. The chest stands 33 3/4 inches tall on a 49 1/2 by 26 3/4 inch footprint and ships on built-in caster thread receptacles, ready for the optional casters or legs if your floor plan moves.

Digital Controller that Holds -10°F to 54°F with an Overheat Alarm

A multi-function digital controller with an easy to read LED display holds the chest anywhere from -10°F to 54°F, factory preset at -4°F. That is a freezer-class range, not a cold refrigerator: mugs come out frosted white for the pour, and the same chest dialed warmer holds salad plates and dessert plates at a serving chill. An audible overheat protection alarm watches the compressor and condenser coil and warns you before a ventilation problem costs you the frost.

Everest supports the unit with optional 3 inch or 5 inch swivel casters with locks that thread into the built-in receptacles, plus 3.5 inch to 6 inch height-adjustable, interchangeable legs.

The EGC50 sits in the middle of the family, sized for two stations of frosted glassware: the single lid EGC37 covers one station at 160 mugs, and the EGC65 stretches the same two lid format to 290 mugs and seven shelves. It is a freezer-class chest, so it frosts glassware and chills plates but is not a bottle cooler; the EBC siblings handle canned and bottled backstock at refrigerator temperatures. Plan around the 49 1/2 by 26 3/4 inch footprint with clear reach above both lids, and power is a standard wall circuit: 115V at 5 amps through a 9 foot cord and a NEMA 5-15P plug.
