The positive refrigerated counter (often called a refrigerated base) is the ultimate HOECA equipment: it combines a robust worktop with efficient refrigerated storage space, directly within reach.What is a Professional Refrigerated Counter?

It maintains your preparations, meats, dairy products, y vegetables at a positive temperature (generally between +2°C y +8°C), while offering an optimal preparation surface. It is an indispensable ally for restaurateurs, caterers, y snack bars to maintain the cold chain without numerous trips to the cold room.Refrigerated Counter or Refrigerated Base: How to Target Your Needs?
