Westlake WKTF-60B 60 In. Undercounter Freezer, 2 Doors, 14.8 Cu. Ft., Stainless Steel

The Westlake WKTF-60B is a two-door undercounter freezer that keeps 14.8 cu. ft. of frozen product at -8 °F to 0 °F in a 60.2 in. wide stainless steel cabinet. At 35.2 in. high on its casters, it fits under a counter, and the two door sections keep each cook's tubs and cases within reach of where they are working. A ventilated refrigeration system moves cold air through the cabinet. It is sized as the main frozen base for a prep or plating station in a mid-volume kitchen. It holds a shift of working stock across two sections, but it is not sized to put away a full delivery. It arrives on preinstalled casters with brakes, stands 35.2 in. high and 29.9 in. deep, and plugs into a standard 115 V outlet with a NEMA 5-15P plug on a 98.4 in. cord, drawing 3.8 A.

-8 °F to 0 °F Freezing with Ventilated Refrigeration

The cabinet holds -8 °F to 0 °F, the range you need for frozen proteins, par-fried potatoes, and portioned desserts. The refrigeration system is ventilated: it pushes cold air around the load, which a still-air cabinet cannot do. That matters every time a line cook opens a door, because moving air brings the interior back down to temperature quickly once the door swings shut.

You get 14.8 cu. ft. of storage in an interior that measures 55.9 in. wide, 19.9 in. deep, and 24.8 in. high. Leave a little room around the product so the air has a path to travel.

Electronic Control with Adjustable Set Point and Defrost Frequency

An electronic control system lets you adjust two things: the temperature set point and how often the unit defrosts. A kitchen that opens the doors constantly in humid weather can run defrost more often; a quieter operation can back it off. Auto defrost clears frost from the coil without anyone having to empty the cabinet and scrape it, which is the chore that usually gets skipped on a freezer until the frost is already hurting performance.

Stainless Steel Exterior and Interior with a Copper Coil Evaporator

Both the exterior and the interior are stainless steel. Outside, that means a top and front you can wipe down with the same sanitizer you use on the rest of the line. Inside, a spilled quart of marinade or a leaking case wipes off a stainless liner without staining it. The evaporator is a copper coil, and copper is the metal refrigeration techs prefer in a coil because it moves heat well and holds up to years of temperature cycling. The cabinet weighs 262 lb empty.

Self-Closing Locking Doors and Epoxy Coated Wire Shelves

Each of the two doors closes by itself when a cook lets go with full hands, so cold air is not spilling onto the floor during service. Push a door open to 90 degrees and it stays there, which is what you want when you are loading product from a cart or wiping down the interior at close. Locks and keys are included, so you can secure product overnight or between shifts.

Inside, two epoxy coated steel wire shelves each carry up to 90 lb. That is enough for full cases and loaded food pans, and the open wire lets the ventilated air pass through the load. The epoxy coating resists the moisture that rusts bare wire in a cold cabinet.

Casters with Brakes and a Removable Board for Condenser Cleaning

Heavy duty casters with brakes are installed before the unit reaches you. Release the brakes and you can roll the cabinet out to mop behind it; set them and it stays put during service. The cabinet body is 30.1 in. high above the casters, for an overall height of 35.2 in.

A removable installation board gives you access to the condenser coil for cleaning. A coil matted with grease and flour dust makes any compressor run longer and hotter, so a board that comes off easily makes it far more likely the brushing actually gets done.

R290 Refrigerant on a 115 V Circuit

The system runs on R290, a hydrocarbon refrigerant with an ozone depletion potential of 0 and a global warming potential of 3. Electrically the unit is simple: 115 V, single phase, 60 Hz, 3.8 A, and 500 W, on a NEMA 5-15P plug with a 98.4 in. cord. Any standard grounded kitchen outlet within reach of the cord will run it.
