Bain-marie ROCAM 02000COMP4BM

A bain marie trolley keeps prepared food at serving temperature without drying or overcooking. Heating elements beneath a water-filled well transfer gentle, even heat through the water to the gastronorm pans above. The water bath prevents hot spots and maintains moisture, making it suitable for sauces, soups and delicate dishes that must stay ready for plating throughout service.

The operator fills the well with water, positions up to four GN 1/1 pans in the moulded stainless steel compartments, and sets the analogue thermostat between 30 °C and 90 °C. A double indicator light confirms power and heating status. The ergonomic control panel faces the user, allowing adjustments without reaching across hot surfaces. When service ends, the well drains through a cock at the base, and the entire unit can be wheeled away for cleaning.

Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, the trolley has double-insulated walls to retain heat and rounded edges for safety. A removable control panel simplifies maintenance, while a heat-proof push handle and cable hook keep the workspace tidy. Four non-marking corner bumpers protect surfaces, and two silent polyamide castors with brakes secure the trolley during use.

The 3 kW power rating indicates the load on a single-phase 230 V circuit, typical of professional kitchens. A footprint of 1593 mm by 665 mm fits standard worktop layouts, and the 77 kg weight ensures stability while remaining mobile on castors. The 4 GN 1/1 capacity allows batch holding of full-size pans up to 200 mm deep.

Cleaning involves draining the well, wiping down stainless steel surfaces with mild detergent, and removing the control panel for access to internal components. Optional accessories include stainless steel dividers for GN 1/1 or 1/2 pans, foldable tray slides, and a full metal dish holder for the short side.

The COMPASS 4BM is categorised under mobile bain marie units in the ROCAM professional catering range.
