Under Bench Bakers Buddy™
An under bench bakers buddy™ sits where space is often wasted, right beneath your workbench. It keeps dough, ingredients and finished trays within arm’s reach, helping bakeries work efficiently while freeing valuable floor space. These units are built for fast-paced production areas where operators need consistent temperatures without walking back to a cool room. Discover more models in our Bakers Buddy™ range.
How It Works
Under bench units use the front-opening door with self-closing mechanisms, which pause in an open dwell position, giving bakers time to load trays safely and without rush.
Digital temperature controls ultimately provide the ability to hold products between 0°C and 4°C for chilled storage, or -18°C to -22°C when freezing is required. Positioned directly below your work surface, they allow bakers to grab chilled pastry, laminations or fillings without disrupting the workflow.
Space-Saving Design
In busy bakeries and cafes, every square metre needs to earn its keep. An under bench bakers buddy™ uses the footprint you already have, freeing more room for mixers, benches or display equipment. It is especially useful in smaller kitchens where bulky refrigeration can disrupt movement and service.
Key Features of Our Under Bench Range
Artisan™’s Bakers Buddy™ units are built for commercial bakery demands. They run fully automatic systems with digital readouts, heavy-duty condensers and automatic condensate disposal to keep maintenance simple and predictable. Self-closing doors, ergonomic full-length handles and lockable castors simplify operation and cleaning. Optional splashbacks provide added protection when installed against walls.
Capacity and Output
The Bakers Buddy™ range includes two primary widths, 1800 mm for two-door and 2400 mm for three-door models. Their adjustable shelf and tray slides accommodate standard 29” x 16” or 29” x 18” bakery racks, allowing bakers to move trays directly from prep to storage without double-handling. Each door offers up to six shelf or tray positions, supporting day-to-day pastry, dough and filling volumes efficiently.
Durability and Construction
Built with heavy-duty components, these units include robust hinges, stainless-steel interiors and reliable commercial compressors engineered for bakery environments. Castors ensure units can be repositioned for cleaning or layout changes, an essential feature in production areas where hygiene and accessibility matter.
Who Uses Under Bench Bakers Buddy™ Machines?
Small to Medium Bakeries
Bakeries with compact production areas rely on under bench bakers buddy™ units to maintain workflow while avoiding bulky equipment. They keep vital ingredients within reach, free up room for mixers and benches and support moderate daily production levels without the footprint of upright units.
Cafes and In-store Bakeries
Cafes and in-store bakeries benefit from the clean, streamlined appearance of under bench units. They maintain chilled storage without interrupting customer sightlines or taking up valuable service area. Operators producing pastries, sandwiches or quick bakes on-site often choose these compact systems to keep key ingredients close by.
