Hydroformed Sides – Side Panel for Refrigerated Cabinet

Side panel for refrigerated cabinet with stamped rails

In the world of professional kitchens, side panels for refrigerated cabinets with integrated stamped rails are considered the optimal solution, thanks to their simple design which combines sturdiness and easy cleaning.

However, stamping the rails using traditional techniques presents several issues, often resulting in poor flatness and unsightly deformations, which have limited the widespread adoption of this solution.
A long-standing player in the professional kitchen and refrigeration sectors, Inoxveneta responded to this challenge with hydroforming.

By developing large-scale hydroforming dies, Inoxveneta is able to form all rail impressions on the side panel in a single operation, with relatively low tooling costs. The result is an AISI 304 stainless-steel side panel that offers excellent aesthetics, flatness, and clean lines.
But the true strength of hydroforming lies in its product flexibility: Inoxveneta also produces hydroformed side panels with up to 24 integrated rails spaced just 55 mm apart!

Today, Inoxveneta manufactures side panels for refrigerated cabinets, food trolleys, and dishwashers.
