Solex Introduces New Refrigeration Solutions at Food & Hospitality Indonesia, FHI 2026
Jakarta, Indonesia – July 2026 – Solex Refrigeration showcased its expanding range of commercial refrigeration solutions at Food & Hospitality Indonesia (FHI) 2026, held from 21-24 July 2026 at Jakarta International Expo (JIEXPO), Kemayoran, Jakarta. FHI is one of Indonesia’s leading international trade exhibitions for the food, beverage, hospitality, and related industries.
As part of the Nayati Group booth, Solex presented its latest refrigeration solutions alongside Nayati’s professional kitchen equipment portfolio. The exhibition provided an opportunity to introduce new additions to the Solex family while demonstrating how commercial refrigeration can be designed around the specific operational needs of modern foodservice businesses.
Among the products showcased were the Solex Bakery Retarder EDR GF1-15/64 and the new SRTA 3C 2S3D combination unit, bringing greater flexibility to bakery operations, food preparation, and ingredient storage.
Expanding the Solex Solution for Professional Kitchens
Commercial kitchens operate around different preparation methods, menus, production volumes, and service patterns. Refrigeration, therefore, is not simply about keeping ingredients cold. It needs to support the way a kitchen actually works.
With this in mind, Solex continues to expand its refrigeration portfolio with solutions designed for different applications across the foodservice industry.
At FHI 2026, visitors were able to explore two new product solutions that demonstrate this approach: a dedicated bakery retarder for controlled dough preparation and a flexible refrigeration unit combining swing doors and drawers for easier ingredient organization and access.
Solex Bakery Retarder: Controlled Temperature for Bakery Preparation
One of the highlights of the Solex display was the Solex Bakery Retarder EDR GF1-15/64, developed to support professional bakery production.
Operating within a temperature range of -5°C to +2°C, the retarder provides a controlled refrigerated environment for bakery applications where temperature management plays an important role in production planning and preparation.
The unit accommodates up to 15 bakery trays measuring 600 × 400 mm, providing substantial capacity while maintaining a practical format for professional bakery operations.
By combining refrigeration with dedicated bakery tray capacity, the Solex Bakery Retarder offers bakeries greater flexibility in managing preparation schedules and production workflows.
For bakeries, pastry operations, hotels, restaurants, and other foodservice businesses working with fresh dough and bakery products, temperature-controlled storage can become an important part of maintaining an organized and consistent production process.
Key Specifications
- Model: EDR GF1-15/64
- Working temperature: -5°C to +2°C
- Capacity: Up to 15 bakery trays
- Tray size: 600 × 400 mm

A New Approach to Kitchen Storage: Door + Drawer Combination
Another new addition showcased at FHI 2026 was the Solex SRTA 3C 2S3D, a combination refrigeration unit featuring two swing doors and three drawers.
Rather than relying on a single storage configuration, the unit combines different access formats within one refrigeration solution.
The two swing-door compartments provide conventional refrigerated storage, while the three drawers allow frequently used ingredients to be accessed quickly and organized closer to the preparation area.
This combination can be particularly useful in kitchens where speed, organization, and accessibility are essential to daily operations.
Designed Around Different Kitchen Workflows
The SRTA 3C 2S3D can be particularly relevant to foodservice concepts such as:
Tempura Omakase
Frequently used ingredients can be organized within easy reach of the preparation station, helping chefs access what they need during service.
Pizza Parlors
Different ingredients can be arranged according to preparation frequency, while drawers provide convenient access during busy service periods.
Burger Shops
Frequently used burger components and other ingredients can be organized for fast retrieval, supporting a more efficient preparation workflow.
The combination of swing doors and drawers gives kitchen operators the flexibility to separate storage according to how ingredients are used, rather than treating the entire refrigeration space as a single storage compartment.
Refrigeration Designed for the Way Kitchens Work
The new products displayed at FHI 2026 reflect an important direction for Solex: commercial refrigeration should do more than provide temperature-controlled storage.
It should contribute to the workflow, organization, and efficiency of the kitchen.
From bakery production that requires controlled temperature management to high-speed food preparation environments that depend on quick ingredient access, different kitchens have different refrigeration requirements.
Through its growing portfolio, Solex aims to provide refrigeration solutions that can adapt to these operational differences.
Solex at FHI 2026
Being part of the Nayati Group booth allowed Solex to present its refrigeration solutions alongside a broader portfolio of professional kitchen equipment.
The exhibition also created an opportunity for Solex to engage directly with foodservice professionals, consultants, chefs, business owners, and industry partners, gaining insight into the refrigeration challenges faced by today’s commercial kitchens.
The introduction of the EDR GF1-15/64 Bakery Retarder and SRTA 3C 2S3D Door + Drawer Combination Unit represents another step in the continued development of the Solex product family.
As commercial kitchens continue to evolve, Solex remains focused on developing refrigeration solutions that combine practical functionality, flexibility, and professional kitchen requirements.
