Overview

FED-X XCB-36 Chef Base Refrigerated Drawer Bench 184L

The FED-X XCB-36 is a purpose-built refrigerated chef base designed to position cold ingredient storage directly beneath benchtop cooking equipment, keeping everything a cook needs within arm's reach during service. With a 184-litre gross capacity and a temperature range of -1 to +5°C, the unit is tropicalised for Australian conditions and rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 32°C at 65% relative humidity, making it genuinely suited to demanding commercial kitchen environments.

Constructed entirely in stainless steel inside and out, the XCB-36 features 60mm HFC- and CFC-free foam insulation, Austrian Fulterer drawer runners, and a raised-edge reinforced top surface capable of supporting Gaxmax and other benchtop cooking equipment. The two smooth-gliding drawers accept gastronorm pans (sold separately) for organised ingredient storage, while heavy-duty castors with front-wheel brakes allow flexible placement and secure positioning on the line.

Key Benefits

• Cold storage positioned directly under cooking equipment puts chilled ingredients at hand, reducing movement and speeding up service.
• Fan-forced evaporator cooling delivers consistent, even temperature distribution throughout both drawers, maintaining food safety and freshness.
• Tropicalised design and a maximum ambient rating of 32°C at 65% RH ensure reliable performance in the heat and humidity typical of Australian commercial kitchens.
• Rapid temperature recovery rate means the unit returns quickly to set temperature after drawers are opened during busy service periods.
• Removable magnetic drawer gaskets simplify cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime between services.
• Raised-edge stainless steel top provides a sturdy, stable platform for benchtop cooking appliances, maximising vertical use of kitchen space.
• Heavy-duty castors with front-wheel brakes make repositioning straightforward while keeping the unit securely in place during operation.
• HFC- and CFC-free 60mm foam body insulation improves energy efficiency and reduces environmental impact.
• Gastronorm pan compatibility across both drawers enables standardised ingredient organisation that integrates with existing kitchen containers and workflows.
