View all Thermasterproducts →The WBC1-240 combines CFC-free refrigerant and foam insulation,
40mm wall thickness and an electronic thermostat with LED temperature
display for accurate control and user-friendly monitoring. The cabinet is
purpose-built to take a standard 240L dustbin and keep it cold, reducing smells in
bins stores and back-of-house areas. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
For a dedicated waste cooler, energy use is typically modest. Using a notional input of
0.35kW for the Thermaster WBC1-240 and a typical Australian
electricity rate of $0.32/kWh, running 24 hours/day gives an indicative
running cost of:
A comparable cabinet using around 0.45kW would cost roughly
$1,260/year, so the WBC1-240 may save in the order of
$280/year (about 22% lower input) under similar conditions.
At an indicative grid factor of 0.82kg CO₂e/kWh, that saving equates to
avoiding roughly 720kg CO₂e per year compared with a less efficient
equivalent—supporting both hygiene and environmental goals for high-volume kitchens.

Estimates are indicative only and exclude fixed supply charges. Real-world energy use will vary with duty cycle,
ambient temperature, loading and thermostat settings.
By holding food waste at a low temperature, the WBC1-240 slows bacterial growth, reduces odours and makes bins less attractive to pests—especially important in hot Australian summers.
Empty bins daily in busy kitchens and wash them with hot water and a suitable cleaner. Keep lids and seals clean to avoid smells transferring back into the cabinet.
The unit runs on a standard 240V 10A outlet. Using an indicative 0.35kW draw and 24 hours/day, annual running cost is roughly $980 at $0.32/kWh, depending on site conditions.
Install on a level floor, allow space around the cabinet for airflow, and avoid placing it in direct sun or against hot exhaust from cooking equipment.
