About Skipio Commercial Refrigeration
Skipio's 20+ Years Serving Australia's Food Industry
Skipio isn't a residential appliance brand. It's a Korean manufacturer that's earned its reputation by building commercial refrigeration equipment for restaurants, hotels, bars, and catering operations. They don't make kitchen ovens or dishwashers. What they do is refrigeration - and they do it seriously.
The company operates manufacturing facilities in Korea and China, producing roughly 30,000 units annually. They ship to 67 countries across five continents. In Australia, you'll find Skipio equipment in everything from small sandwich shops to high-end restaurants. Why? Because their refrigeration systems keep food safe, hold temperature consistently, and last through the grind of commercial kitchen life. That reliability is built in.
Skipio's strength lies in understanding what commercial kitchens actually need. Not glossy finishes or novelty features - stable temperature control, durable construction, and parts availability. Their engineering reflects this. Every unit is designed to perform, day after day, in demanding environments.
What We Repair: Skipio Refrigeration Units
The Skipio range you'll actually find in Australian kitchens focuses on one thing: refrigeration solutions for food service. Here's what we service.
Underbench Freezers
One-door, two-door, and three-door models. These fit under work benches and pizza prep stations. They come in sizes from 179 litres to 505 litres. Single and dual temperature options available.
Upright Refrigerators
Standard glass-door display models, solid-door workhorses, and slimline units that save space. Storage capacity ranges up to 1,779 litres. You'll see these storing prep ingredients, displaying drinks for sale, or holding finished products.
Underbench Refrigerators
Similar footprint to the freezers but designed for chilled storage. Work benches with built-in fridge space underneath for ingredients. Common in pizza prep areas where you need quick access to cold items.
Bakery Display Cases
Two-tier and three-tier curved glass showcases. Capacities from 501 to 837 litres. They keep baked goods visible to customers while maintaining proper temperature. Many operate 24/7 in bakeries and cafés.
Pizza Prep Fridges
Horizontal units with multiple prep pans on top and chilled storage below. Wide prep benches with adjustable cold pans for toppings and ingredients. Standard in pizzerias across the country.
Salad Prep Tables
Undercounter refrigeration with chopping boards on top and fridge space below. Solid doors, glass doors, or hood lid options depending on the model.
Ice Makers
Skipio produces several ice-making systems for high-volume operations.
When Skipio Refrigeration Breaks Down: Common Problems We Fix
Temperature Fluctuation
Your Skipio runs, but it's not holding temperature properly. Food starts sweating in the display case. Thermostat sensors often trigger this. Sometimes it's a fan motor issue - the compressor runs but air circulation fails. Other times the refrigerant charge has dipped. We diagnose which one and fix it properly.
Door Seal Issues
A crack or gap in the door gasket. Warm air leaks in, the compressor works overtime, and your energy bill climbs. You might notice frost buildup around the door or inside the cabinet. Standard fix - we replace the seal.
Condenser Problems
Skipio underbench and upright units have condensers. When they clog with dust, the system can't shed heat. The compressor gets hot, efficiency drops, temperature rises. In kitchens with heavy grease or dusty conditions, this happens regularly. We clean and service them.
Compressor Failure
This is the expensive one. If the compressor dies, the whole unit stops cooling. Usually happens after years of use. We can replace it with a genuine Skipio compressor, or discuss whether repair makes economic sense.
Freezing Issues in Fridge
Compartments
Your fridge section is freezing products when it shouldn't. The evaporator control valve or thermostatic expansion valve is stuck. We service or replace these components.
Display Case Lighting
LED and fluorescent lights burn out in bakery and pizza prep displays. We replace them to keep your products looking fresh.
Drainage Blockages
Condensation drain lines get clogged. Water pools inside the cabinet. We clear the blockage and flush the system.
