Is melting ice a problem for your bar? Are traditional refrigerated tanks too expensive and complicated to install? Station Deus has the solution.
Cooling is often complex or even impossible, and always costly. Station Deus presents the alternative to refrigerated tanks: the insulated stainless steel tank.
How does the insulated stainless steel tank work?
Stop wasting time emptying melted ice water. The insulated stainless steel tank is the efficient solution for your service. Easy to fit inside your cocktail station, it ensures you always have ready-to-use ice and a convenient drainage system before the end of your shift.
A flexible drain hose lets you direct the water wherever needed, while two stainless steel perforated trays—already included in the kit—keep ice and water separate.

Why food-grade stainless steel?
The material chosen by Station Deus for its tanks is stainless steel: heat resistant, with a melting point of approximately 1400°C, it is a poor conductor of electricity and highly resistant to corrosion. Station Deus uses AISI 304 stainless steel in its cocktail stations because, in addition to being easy to clean, it is the material of choice in the food industry.
The alternative to refrigerated tanks with insulating material
Station Deus stainless steel tanks are coated on the outside with an insulating material that keeps the ice inside as cold as possible. The combination of stainless steel and insulating material achieves the same result as a refrigerated tank, but without the cost of electricity.
Cocktail Stations with built-in stainless steel tanks: The Smart Alternative to Refrigerated Tanks
The Efesto line by Station Deus comes with integrated stainless steel tanks: Efesto 90, Efesto 120, and Efesto 150 all include insulated tanks as standard.
Station Deus cocktail stations are designed for indoor use, where room temperatures are typically higher and water drainage can be difficult or risky—especially on delicate flooring.
Entirely made of stainless steel, Efesto stations ensure your ice stays cold and ready for service.
Modular setups based on your needs
With Station Deus, you can choose a modular bar counter with modules that can be placed side by side according to your needs. You can then choose your L-shaped, U-shaped, or 360° setup and select the Efesto line for fully equipped cocktail stations.
Alternatively, you can decide to add stainless steel tanks to any model you choose.
Accessories for your insulated tanks: boost functionality
Do you need to close your tanks to prevent mosquitoes, flies, and other insects from getting in? Would you like to have more counter space? With Station Deus, anything is possible.
Transparent lids for the tanks
Everything kept inside the tanks will likely end up in a cocktail—so avoiding contamination from insects or dust is essential for every bartender.
Station Deus offers transparent polycarbonate lids to cover your tanks (ice or garnishes): you can see what’s inside at a glance, but you’ll need to lift the lid to access it.
Closure lid Kit to add extra work surfaces
Need more workspace? During prep time, you can cover your insulated stainless steel tanks and expand your surface area.
The Station Deus Closing Caps Kit includes stainless steel covers perfectly shaped to close off your tanks. In a second, you can remove the covers and access the tanks again.
