In today’s fast-paced foodservice environment, operators are looking for more than just refrigeration – they need equipment that actively supports efficiency, protects food quality, and reduces labor demands. The PR67B-Z from Hoshizaki is designed to do exactly that. Built with exclusive, operator-focused features, this prep unit helps kitchens stay ahead of service demands while maintaining strict food safety standards.
Intelligent cooling that works around your schedule
One of the most innovative features of the PR67B-Z is Hoshizaki’s exclusive Night/Day mode. During active service, when the lid is open, the unit automatically lowers the temperature set point to keep ingredients properly chilled in the rail. When the lid is closed at the end of the shift, the temperature resets to a normal holding range, allowing food to remain safely stored overnight without freezing.
This intelligent system reduces the need to transfer product in and out of storage each day, cutting down on labor-intensive start-up and breakdown tasks. It’s a practical solution that saves time while maintaining food integrity.
Refrigerated catch trays that reduce waste
Food waste directly impacts profitability. The PR67B-Z addresses this with refrigerated catch trays that keep unused toppings above freezing while maintaining optimal food-safe temperatures. Even in ambient kitchen temperatures ranging from 65°F to over 100°F, ingredients stay properly cooled.
This means excess toppings that fall through the rail system don’t go to waste. Instead, they are safely preserved and ready for continued use, helping operators maximize ingredient yield and reduce unnecessary disposal.
Built for speed and cleanliness
The three-section speed rail is designed for high-volume performance. Wire rails allow excess toppings to fall neatly into the refrigerated catch trays below, keeping the prep surface cleaner during rush periods. By minimizing buildup in the rail area, the unit supports a more organized workspace and faster line replenishment.
In busy kitchens where seconds matter, small design details like this can make a significant difference in overall workflow efficiency.
Precision temperature control, maximum efficiency
The PR67B-Z features independent digital temperature controls for both the rail and the cabinet. Operators can manage each section separately to maintain ideal food safety temperatures and protect finished product quality. Despite this dual control capability, the unit operates on a single refrigeration system, helping reduce overall energy usage.
This balance of precision and efficiency ensures consistent performance without unnecessary energy costs – a key advantage for cost-conscious operations.
Exclusive Back-To-Front Airflow
Consistent cooling is critical in any prep unit. Hoshizaki’s exclusive Back-To-Front Airflow design surrounds each pan with even, balanced airflow to maintain stable temperatures across the entire rail. Rather than uneven cooling that can compromise ingredients, this system promotes uniform temperature distribution from front to back.
The result is dependable holding performance, even during peak service hours.
Thoughtful storage and easy maintenance
Beyond refrigeration performance, the PR67B-Z incorporates practical storage enhancements that simplify daily operations. Dedicated slots keep catch tray lids organized and accessible. The elevated hood design provides extra headspace, allowing sauce bottles to remain upright overnight. Additional top-of-cabinet space offers convenient storage for essential items.
Maintenance is equally straightforward. The removable air filter can be easily washed to clear flour and debris buildup. Keeping the condenser clean helps ensure consistent operation and prolongs the life of the equipment.
Designed for today’s demanding kitchens
The PR67B-Z isn’t simply a prep table – it’s a comprehensive solution built to address real-world kitchen challenges. From labor reduction and energy efficiency to food waste control and consistent cooling performance, every feature reflects a deep understanding of operator needs.
For foodservice professionals seeking equipment that works as hard as they do, Hoshizaki’s PR67B-Z delivers a smarter, more efficient approach to refrigerated prep.
