The Arctic Air ARCB60 Refrigerated Chef Base is a durable and efficient commercial refrigeration solution designed to improve kitchen workflow by combining refrigerated ingredient storage with a heavy-duty equipment support surface. Built for restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries, hotels, cafeterias, catering companies, and professional foodservice operations, this 60-inch two drawer refrigerated chef base provides convenient access to fresh ingredients while supporting countertop cooking equipment directly above.
Designed for high-performance commercial kitchens, the ARCB60 features a strong stainless steel top with a marine edge design and insulated ceramic fabric layer that helps reduce heat transfer from cooking equipment into the refrigerated cabinet. This insulation technology helps maintain consistent internal temperatures while allowing operators to safely place compatible cooking equipment on the chef base surface.
The two full-extension refrigerated drawers provide organized storage for frequently used ingredients, allowing chefs and kitchen staff to quickly access products during preparation and service. Each drawer is equipped with heavy-duty telescoping cartridge-style drawer slides and reinforced mounting points designed to handle the demands of busy commercial environments. The drawers accommodate full-size food pans, with both upper and lower drawers supporting 6-inch deep pans, making it easy to store meats, toppings, sauces, vegetables, and prepared ingredients close to the cooking station.
Constructed with a complete stainless steel exterior, including the front, sides, top, drawer facings, drawer liners, and frames, the Arctic Air ARCB60 delivers the durability, sanitation, and professional appearance required in commercial kitchens. The stainless steel construction makes daily cleaning easier while providing long-lasting resistance against the demands of foodservice operations.
The ARCB60 uses a self-contained side-mounted refrigeration system powered by environmentally friendly R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant. An electronic microprocessor temperature control with an external digital LED display provides accurate temperature monitoring and easy adjustment. The unit maintains a refrigerated temperature range of 33°F to 41°F, helping protect ingredients and maintain food quality throughout the day.
For simplified maintenance, the chef base includes a front-accessible condensing unit that allows easier cleaning and servicing. High-output yet energy-efficient fan motors support reliable airflow and consistent cooling performance. Removable magnetic drawer gaskets allow for convenient cleaning without specialized tools, while stainless steel hooked adapter bars provide flexible food pan organization.
The Arctic Air ARCB60 comes equipped with heavy-duty casters, including locking casters, allowing the unit to be easily moved for installation, cleaning, and kitchen reconfiguration. Its compact footprint and combination of refrigerated storage with equipment support make it an ideal solution for maximizing limited kitchen space while improving operational efficiency.
Tested to NSF Standard 7 requirements for open food storage, the Arctic Air ARCB60 is designed to meet the needs of professional foodservice operators who require reliable refrigeration, durable construction, and convenient ingredient access. It is an excellent choice for pizza stations, grill lines, sandwich stations, and other commercial cooking applications where speed and organization are essential.
Whether used beneath grills, ovens, fryers, flat tops, or other countertop cooking equipment, the Arctic Air ARCB60 refrigerated chef base helps create a more efficient kitchen environment by keeping essential ingredients cold, organized, and within reach. Its commercial-grade construction, energy-efficient refrigeration system, and practical drawer storage design make it a valuable addition to any professional kitchen.
