Overview

Adande VCS1.RW Single Refrigerated Drawer Unit with Side Engine and Solid Worktop

The Adande VCS1.RW is a single-drawer refrigerated unit built around Adande's patented drawer refrigeration technology, trusted in commercial kitchens worldwide. Featuring a side-mounted compressor and solid stainless steel worktop, it operates across a wide dual temperature range of +15°C to -22°C in precise 1°C increments, making it equally suited to chilled and frozen applications beneath the pass or prep bench.

Engineered for demanding environments with a Climate Class 4 (Tropical) rating, this unit runs on just 2.1 kWh per 24 hours and holds up to 4 x 1/1 GN 100mm deep pans. Its 'hold the cold' insulated container technology, low-velocity airflow and automatic defrost work together to preserve food in frost-free, dehydration-free condition, significantly extending shelf life and reducing spoilage in high-throughput kitchens.

Key Benefits

• Under-bench positioning puts refrigerated or frozen storage directly at the point of use, accelerating service speed on the line.
• Precise digital temperature control across a wide +15°C to -22°C range in 1°C increments means a single unit can serve as a fridge or freezer depending on the application.
• Low-velocity cooling maintains stable temperatures and exceptional humidity, preventing food from drying out and extending shelf life compared to conventional refrigeration.
• Insulated drawer containers retain cold air when the drawer is opened, reducing temperature recovery time and lowering overall energy consumption.
• A condensate burn-off tray eliminates the need for a waste drain point, simplifying installation and reducing plumbing costs.
• Adjustable levelling rollers allow the unit to be positioned precisely on uneven floors, with simple installation requiring only a level surface within a 5mm fall to the rear.
• External drawer runners keep mechanical components accessible and easy to wipe down, supporting fast cleaning and strong hygiene compliance.
• Each drawer includes a divider and keyed-alike locks, helping with food segregation, stock rotation and kitchen security.
• A removable internal bin makes cleaning straightforward and assists with efficient stock rotation, minimising waste.
