🧼 Maintenance and Hygiene – How to Extend Lifespan and Ensure Safety
Daily operations mean daily maintenance:

❄️ Active vs. Passive Cooling – What to Choose?
The choice depends on the type of operation:
| Cooling Type | Suitable For | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active | Restaurants, canteens, high-frequency use | Fast cooling, even temperature | Higher energy consumption |
| Passive | Smaller operations, patisseries | Low noise, energy-saving | Slower temperature recovery |
👉 Every product in the refrigerated tables category includes a description of the cooling type used.
📐 Workflow and Ergonomics – Where to Place the Table?
Proper placement of refrigerated tables boosts efficiency:
- Next to the prep station – minimizes unnecessary steps.
- Under saladette / GN counter – ideal for fast prep.
- As an island unit – for open kitchens or catering.
🔧 Tip: Standard work height is 85–90 cm – check if your chosen model fits your staff ergonomically.
