With the Artisan APC-1002 Cabinet, the workshop can hold finished and semi-finished products on trays, with the temperature under control. It is designed for pastry shops, bakeries, confectioneries and restaurants with their own workshop.

What the Artisan APC-1002 Cabinet offers

The APC-1002 measures 1370 × 860 × 2130 mm (width, depth and height), has an operating range of -20°C -15°C and a volume of 1404 litres. It also features 40 pairs of runners, a cooling capacity of 907 W and R290 refrigerant, as well as climate class 4 30°C 55%.

A digital control keeps the temperature stable and the defrost water evaporates automatically. The interior is designed for trays and easy cleaning.

Construction and materials

Four details stand out in its construction. First, it features a forced-draught evaporator with anti-corrosion epoxy coating. In addition, the forced-draught fans stop when the door is opened. It also includes automatic evaporation of defrost water. Finally, it has injected polyurethane with a density of 40 Kg/m³ and zero ODP and GWP impact. These solutions are built to last in a demanding working environment.

Typical applications

It is installed in workshops to hold product trays between production stages, in pastry shops as a storage cabinet and, in the glass-door version, as a display cabinet in the shop. The freezer versions store doughs and frozen products. These uses are not mutually exclusive: many premises combine storage and display in the same unit, making the most of the exterior finish and interior lighting.

Options and configuration

The following can also be added to the standard configuration: 60x40 grid, set of 5 castors, stainless steel back panel, tropicalised version for 43°C, 230V 60Hz / 115V 60Hz and door-opening pedal.

Installation and maintenance of the Artisan APC-1002 Cabinet

It only requires a power socket and ventilation space. Maintenance consists of cleaning the stainless steel interior, the runners and the condenser. For optimum operation, install the unit away from ovens and windows in direct sunlight, respect the ventilation clearances and schedule a condenser cleaning every three or four months; this is the maintenance task that has the greatest impact on consumption.

How to choose the right cabinet

The choice depends on tray capacity, the temperature range and whether the cabinet will stand in the workshop or in the shop. In addition, the tabs on this page provide the full technical specifications, the options and the documentation for the APC-1002, available for download.
