Arctic Air ACP8SQ 28" 8 Pan Countertop Compact Prep Unit - ACP8SQ

The Arctic Air ACP8SQ is a 28-inch, 8-pan countertop prep unit designed with a full stainless steel liner for its interior cabinet and a matching stainless steel shell for the exterior. It includes 1/6-size pans with covers, and its pan rail uses a “cold wall” heat transfer system instead of air cooling. The unit sits on plastic, non-scratch feet, providing durability and stability. The self-contained capillary tube system uses CFC-free refrigerant, making it environmentally friendly, and it meets NSF Standard 7 for open food storage. This prep unit requires manual defrosting as it has no built-in defrost system and is classified as an “in-service” item, meaning it must be powered off for defrosting. The compact size of the unit allows for 6-inch deep pans in the back row and 4-inch deep pans in the front, making it ideal for fast-paced prep work while conserving counter space. The strong stainless steel construction and environmentally responsible design make it a durable and efficient solution for foodservice operations.
