Mega Top Sandwich and Salad Prep Table, 1 Door, 12 Pans, Stainless Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Westlake WKSR-27BM is a single-door mega top sandwich and salad prep table that fits twelve chilled food pans into a 28.1 in. wide footprint. Three rows of pans sit over a stainless steel refrigerated cabinet, so a station barely wider than a full-size sheet pan is long can carry a real topping lineup. The system is rated to hold 33 °F to 41 °F in kitchens up to 100 °F, the kind of heat a tight galley kitchen builds during a rush. It suits a one-person station in a cafe, a food hall stall, or a burrito and bowl counter where width is the constraint; the single-door cabinet below limits how much backup product you can stage, so plan on restocking from the walk-in during a long service. It rolls in on preinstalled casters and plugs into a 115 V outlet through a 70.8 in. cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug, drawing 2.4 A with no drain line to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e12 Food Pans Included in the Mega Top Rail\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mega top rail holds twelve fractional food pans, and all twelve come with the table: nine sixth-size pans and three ninth-size pans, set in three rows of three sixth pans plus one ninth pan. Use the sixth pans for proteins, cheeses, and greens, and the ninth pans for small-quantity add-ons like jalapenos, olives, or pickled onions. The third row is what the mega top is for. A two-row rail of the same 28.1 in. width would carry a third fewer pans, so you get a longer menu without a longer table. A lid closes over the rail between rushes and at the end of the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e8.3 In. Deep Cutting Board\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cutting board 28.1 in. wide, 8.3 in. deep, and 0.5 in. thick runs along the front of the rail. At 8.3 in. it is an assembly surface: enough to lay out a wrap, a bowl, or a sub roll and dress it straight from the pans behind. It is tighter than you want for breaking down a case of tomatoes, so do the heavy knife work at a prep bench and use this board to build. The cabinet measures 30.1 in. from its base to the work surface, excluding casters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVentilated R290 Refrigeration Holding 33 °F to 41 °F\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCooling comes from a ventilated refrigeration system paired with a copper coil evaporator. Moving air does the work here, not a cold wall: chilled air is circulated through the refrigerated space, so the temperature recovers after a door has been open for a restock and product at the far end is not left warmer than product next to the coil. The 1\/4 HP system runs on R290, a hydrocarbon refrigerant, and holds 33 °F to 41 °F. It is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 100 °F. If your line regularly runs hotter than that, this table is outside its rating there, and you should place it away from the fryers and the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eElectronic Control with Automatic Defrost Every 4 Hours\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn electronic control lets you adjust both the temperature set point and the defrost frequency from the controller. Out of the box the unit defrosts automatically every 4 hours, clearing frost off the coil before it can choke airflow, and you never have to schedule a manual defrost around service. The defrost water is evaporated by the unit itself. That matters at install: a table that needs a drain has to sit near a floor sink, while this one can go anywhere you have an outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel Inside and Out with Self-Closing Door\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is stainless steel on the exterior and the interior, so the surfaces your crew wipes down every night are the same material inside and out, and a spilled pan of vinaigrette is a cleanup, not a stain. The door is self-closing, which protects the cold when a cook grabs a backup pan and turns away with both hands full. Swing it to 90 degrees and it stays open, so you can load a case of product without holding it with your hip. Locks and keys are included for securing product after close. Allow 27.5 in. in front of the cabinet for door swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePreinstalled Casters and Removable Condenser Access Board\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour swivel casters come preinstalled, two of them with brakes. Lock the brakes and the table stays put while you work; release them and one person can roll it out to mop behind it or reach the wall. A removable installation board gives you direct access to the condenser coil for cleaning. That is the maintenance job that decides how hard a refrigeration system has to work, because a coil matted with flour dust and grease cannot shed heat, and easy access is what gets the job done on schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Westlake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67710579867933,"sku":"WKSR-27BM","price":1539.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/89803_Westlake_WKSR-27BM_1.jpg?v=1791489121","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/westlake-wksr-27bm-28-in-mega-top-sandwich-and-salad-prep-table-1-door-12-pans-stainless-steel","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
