Welcome to Kitchen Equipment Victoria's Commercial Refrigeration section. Whether you run a restaurant, café, food truck, or commercial kitchen, the right refrigeration keeps your business running smoothly and your food safe.

Keep Your Kitchen Running Cool and Efficient

Great refrigeration does more than keep food cold. It saves you money, reduces waste, and helps your team work faster. Our range of fridges and freezers are built tough for busy kitchens and designed to last.

Why Commercial Refrigeration Matters

Your refrigeration system is the heart of your kitchen. It affects food safety, how quickly your staff can work, and your bottom line. The right setup saves space, cuts energy costs, and keeps your food at the perfect temperature.

Good refrigeration also means less food waste and better organization. When everything has its place and stays fresh longer, your kitchen runs like clockwork.

Types of Commercial Refrigeration

Upright Fridges and Freezers

These tall units give you maximum storage in a small footprint. Perfect for busy kitchens where you need to store lots of food and find it quickly. Glass doors let you see what's inside without opening the door and losing cold air.

Underbench Refrigeration

These fit right under your prep counters, putting cold storage exactly where your chefs need it. No more running across the kitchen for ingredients. This saves time and keeps your workflow smooth.

Back Bar Fridges

Designed for bars and beverage areas. They keep drinks at the perfect temperature and make it easy for bartenders to serve customers quickly. Many have glass doors so staff can grab drinks fast during busy times.

Display Fridges

Show off your food while keeping it fresh. Perfect for cafés, delis, and bakeries where customers choose what they want to see. Good lighting and clear glass help sell more products.

Walk-In Coolers

For high-volume operations that need serious storage space. These are like refrigerated rooms where staff can walk in to organize inventory and prep food in a cool environment.

Key Benefits

Save Space: Modern units pack more storage into smaller areas. Smart designs help you store more without taking up valuable kitchen space.

Quick Setup: Most units plug in and start working right away. No long construction projects or downtime.

Lower Energy Bills: New refrigeration uses less electricity while keeping food at perfect temperatures. Many units qualify for energy rebates.

Work Faster: When cold storage is close to prep areas, your team saves time and works more efficiently.

What to Look For

Size and Capacity

Choose based on your busiest days, not average days. You need enough space for peak times plus some extra room. Too small means overcrowding and poor temperature control.

Build Quality

Look for stainless steel construction that's easy to clean and lasts longer. Good insulation keeps temperatures steady and saves energy.

Temperature Control

Digital controls give you precise temperature settings. Alarms alert you if temperatures get too warm or cold.

Easy Maintenance

Pick units where you can easily clean coils, replace parts, and access all areas. This keeps your refrigeration running longer and reduces repair costs.

Simple Maintenance Tips

Daily: Check temperatures, clean up spills immediately, and make sure doors seal properly.

Weekly: Clean interior surfaces with food-safe sanitizer. Remove everything and clean shelves thoroughly.

Monthly: Clean condenser coils with a brush. Check door seals and alignment. Test temperature accuracy.

Yearly: Have a professional service check refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and overall performance.
