The Westlake WK-48R Reach-In Refrigerator
The Westlake WK-48R is a two-section, top-mounted reach-in refrigerator with solid stainless steel doors, made for back-of-house storage of prepped and raw product. Its 1/3 HP ventilated system holds 33 °F to 41 °F, so a case of romaine on the bottom shelf and sixth pans of prepped garnish up top sit in the same safe range. It is rated for rooms up to 100 °F, which covers a working line in summer but not an unconditioned dock. Two doors and six shelves suit a restaurant that needs about four feet of cold storage along a wall; it will not stand in for a walk-in at a high-volume commissary. It rolls in on preinstalled brake casters, stands 78 in. tall, and plugs into a 115 V outlet through a NEMA 5-15P plug at 3 amps.
Six Epoxy Coated Wire Shelves Rated for 90 Pounds Each
Six epoxy coated steel wire shelves come with the cabinet, and each is rated for 90 lb. That rating matters when you load full hotel pans of marinating chicken or stacked cases of dairy instead of a few quart containers. The epoxy coating is there for the damp, cold air inside a refrigerator, where bare steel wire would rust, and open wire lets moving air pass through the load. Interior space across the two sections measures 43.7 in. wide, 25 in. deep, and 55 in. high.
Ventilated Refrigeration Holding 33 °F to 41 °F
A precision ventilated refrigeration system moves cold air through the cabinet instead of letting it settle, which keeps the top shelf and the bottom shelf close to the same temperature. Rated at 1/3 HP, it holds 33 °F to 41 °F, the range you want for dairy, produce, and prepped proteins. It is rated to do that in rooms up to 100 °F, which covers a hot kitchen during a Friday rush. The copper coil evaporator carries an anti-corrosion coating that protects the copper in a space that is always damp.
Electronic Control with Automatic Defrost Every 4 Hours
The electronic control lets you adjust the temperature set point and the defrost frequency, with no unmarked dial to guess at. It defrosts automatically every 4 hours, so frost does not build thick enough on the coil to choke airflow. Nobody on your crew has to schedule it or remember it.
Stainless Steel Inside and Out with Self-Closing, Locking Doors
Exterior and interior are both stainless steel, so spills wipe off and the cabinet takes the knocks of a busy kitchen. The two solid doors swing shut on their own when a cook walks away with full hands, and they stay open at 90° while you load a delivery. Each door locks, and keys are included, which is useful overnight or in a shared kitchen. A top LED light comes on when a door opens and goes off when it closes.
Top-Access Condenser and R290 Hydrocarbon Refrigerant
The refrigeration system sits on top of the cabinet, above the flour dust and mop water at floor level. A top installation board gives access to the condenser coil for cleaning and service, so brushing the coil is a short job, not a teardown. The refrigerant is R290, a hydrocarbon with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of 3.
Brake Casters and a NEMA 5-15P Plug
Heavy-duty casters with brakes come preinstalled. Roll the cabinet into place, lock the brakes, and release them when it is time to clean behind it. It measures 48.4 in. wide, 31.5 in. deep, and 78 in. high. Plan on about 53 in. front to back with a door swung open. Power is 115 V, single phase, 60 Hz at 3 amps. Net weight is 293 lb.
