Professional Refrigerated Cabinet
In the restaurant and hotel industry, managing the cold chain is an essential challenge. Food must be stored under optimal conditions to preserve its freshness, flavor quality, and food safety. It is in this context that the professional refrigerated cabinet plays a central role.
Whether you run a restaurant in Brussels, a hotel in Wallonia, a central kitchen for institutions, or a catering service, having a reliable and high-performance refrigerated cabinet is essential. These units combine storage capacity, ergonomics, food safety, and energy efficiency, making them an indispensable pillar of any modern professional kitchen.
What is a refrigerated cabinet?
A refrigerated cabinet is a vertical refrigeration appliance, typically made of stainless steel, designed to store and preserve foodstuffs in a controlled environment. Unlike domestic refrigerators, it is specifically engineered for intensive use and complies with the HACCP hygiene standards in force in the catering industry.
Difference from a cold room or a standard freezer
Refrigerated cabinet: A compact solution that integrates directly into the kitchen, providing immediate access to food.
Cold room: Designed for large volumes, often installed in a separate room, with a higher installation cost.
Standard freezer: Generally less robust and less suited for professional use.
Available formats
Professional refrigerated cabinets are available in various sizes and formats compatible with Gastronorm (GN) containers:
GN1/1: A widely used standard format.
GN2/1: Wider, offering greater storage capacity.
Other variants are available to meet the specific needs of different kitchens.
The two main types of refrigerated cabinets
Positive refrigerated cabinet
Temperature range: between 0°C and +8°C.
Use: Preservation of fresh products such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, pastries, raw meats, or prepared meals.
Advantage: It maintains the freshness and nutritional qualities of food without freezing it.
Negative refrigerated cabinet
Temperature range: between -18°C and -22°C.
Use: Freezing and long-term storage of meats, fish, frozen products, ice creams, and sensitive goods.
Advantage: Ideal for avoiding food waste by enabling prolonged storage.
👉 Therefore, a professional kitchen often has both types of cabinets to cover all preservation needs.
Advantages of professional refrigerated cabinets
Space saving: Unlike cold rooms, they integrate directly into the workspace.
Direct access: Supplies are within arm’s reach, facilitating kitchen service.
Optimized stock management: practical organization thanks to shelves and GN compatibility.
Energy performance: Recent models consume less electricity while guaranteeing a stable temperature.
Compliance with hygiene standards: Stainless steel construction, precise electronic regulation, automatic defrost.
Criteria for choosing the right refrigerated cabinet
When purchasing a refrigerated cabinet, several factors must be considered:
Capacity (litres): Depends on the volume of food to be stored.
Door type: Solid door for better insulation, glass door for commercial use (display of drinks, desserts, etc.).
Number of shelves and Gastronorm (GN2/1, GN1/1) compatibility: Essential for good organization.
Type of refrigeration:
Static: Ideal for preserving delicate foods.
Ventilated: Ensures even distribution of cold air.
Energy consumption: Prefer low-consumption models.
Noise level and maintenance: Important especially for small, open kitchens.
Maintenance and best practices
Regular maintenance extends the cabinet’s lifespan and ensures optimal preservation:
Stainless steel cleaning: Use appropriate products to avoid corrosion.
Door seal check: Regularly verify the seal to limit cold loss.
Automatic or manual defrosting: Depending on the model, prevent frost buildup.
Positioning in the kitchen: Avoid placing the unit near a heat source (oven, cooktop) to prevent overworking the compressor.
Standards and regulations in Belgium
In Belgium, as elsewhere in Europe, food service professionals must adhere to strict standards:
HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point): A food safety management system requiring constant monitoring of the cold chain.
Cold chain: A legal requirement to maintain food at the appropriate temperature (positive or negative) without interruption.
Therefore, professional refrigerated cabinets are designed to meet these standards and guarantee optimal food safety.
The professional refrigerated cabinet is much more than just a piece of equipment: it is an indispensable tool for restaurateurs, caterers, hotels, and institutions. It ensures food quality, complies with health standards, and optimizes kitchen operations.

They're Talking About Us!
Refrigeration is a key element in both the domestic market and, more specifically, in the restaurant industry. Essential for keeping your foodstuffs and preparations cool, the wardrobe refrigerator or refrigerated cabinet is a high-end professional fridge offering large storage capacity and complying with the hygiene standards of professional kitchens. There are several types of refrigerated cabinets, including positive and negative refrigerated cabinets. A refrigerated cabinet remains indispensable for storing your goods in restaurants, pastry shops, sandwich shops, fast food outlets, etc.
If you are looking to equip your business with a professional refrigerated cabinet in Belgium, Frigotech offers a complete range of refrigerated cabinets and professional refrigerators. As specialists in commercial and industrial cooling, our team provides expert guidance to direct you toward the refrigerated cabinet best suited to your business and needs.

From affordable refrigerated cabinets to cold rooms, including refrigerated display cases, counter fridges, and chillers… we always offer the best market price in Belgium
As a professional in the sector, equip yourself with a suitable wardrobe refrigerator!
Compared to a standard domestic refrigerator, a professional refrigerated cabinet typically has a capacity of at least 400 liters, enabling the storage and preservation of a larger quantity of food and beverages. Thanks to its high performance and adaptability, the refrigerated cabinet ensures better maintenance of food quality and freshness, even in warmer rooms. And because it is designed for professional and intensive use, the doors of a refrigerated cabinet can be opened and closed frequently without compromising the quality of the stored products, unlike a traditional kitchen refrigerator.
A wardrobe refrigerator can be either positive or negative temperature. Positive cold corresponds to a refrigeration temperature, meaning above 0°C. Negative cold, on the other hand, allows for the preservation or storage of food products and beverages at freezing temperatures. A refrigerated cabinet of this type maintains a temperature below 0°C.
The primary purpose of a positive refrigerated cabinet is to keep fresh products within easy reach in a professional kitchen. These products mainly include the raw materials essential for preparation, as well as finished or semi-finished items.
Similarly, a negative temperature professional refrigerated cabinet allows for freezing goods while keeping them within easy reach in your professional workspace, just like a positive temperature wardrobe refrigerator.
Finally, depending on the model of your refrigerated cabinet, it can operate using either a ventilated or static cooling system. The cooling is static when the air is not circulated inside the unit, whereas it is ventilated when the cold air is circulated inside the refrigeration equipment by a fan.
