Undercounter Refrigerator for hospital kitchens and ward pantries
Ward pantry fridge and tray-line storage: milk, curd, fruit, snacks and patients' labelled food on the ward; curd, salads and desserts on the tray line.
On the ward, pantry staff serve tea, milk, snacks and fruit between meals and handle food brought by relatives. An undercounter fridge fits the small pantry rooms most Indian hospitals have, under a counter where trays and cups are prepared. In the main kitchen, undercounter units on the tray-assembly line hold the cold components of each tray — curd, salads, cut fruit, desserts — while trays are made up for each ward round, so nothing perishable sits on the line at room temperature.
How to configure it
- Give patients' food from home its own shelf or drawer, labelled with name, ward, bed and date.
- Post a discard routine on the pantry fridge door, as agreed with infection control.
- Place tray-line units directly under the assembly counter.
- Choose front-breathing units for pantry counters.
Mistakes to avoid
- Letting unlabelled home food accumulate in pantry fridges.
- Keeping pantry fridges running without temperature checks on night shifts.
The undercounter range
Counter-height cabinets that put chilled ingredients within arm's reach of the line. Door and drawer configurations, worktop and chef-base versions, in refrigerator, freezer and dual-temperature builds.
