Display cabinet Stalgast 834540

This stainless-steel cabinet holds five shallow gastronorm trays at eye level, letting staff slide chilled salads, desserts or garnishes straight onto plates without opening a door or breaking the cold chain. Instead of a compressor pushing cold air through ducts, this unit uses static air circulation: the evaporator coils cool the air inside the cabinet, and the air remains still. Cold air is denser, so it settles at the bottom, creating a stable cold zone around the containers without fans or moving parts. This method avoids drying the food and reduces energy use, but it requires even spacing so the cold reaches every item equally. The operator loads up to five GN 1/4 containers into the cabinet, ensuring each container is no taller than 150 mm. The electronic control unit is set to the desired temperature between +2 °C and +8 °C, and the digital display shows the current reading. Automatic defrosting cycles prevent ice build-up on the coils, so the cabinet does not need manual defrosting. Once the temperature is stable, the glass front allows customers to view the products while the stainless steel interior reflects light, making the display brighter. The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is easy to clean. The exterior dimensions of 1200 mm wide, 335 mm deep and 440 mm high fit a standard worktop or counter, and the static air system means there are no vents or fans to obstruct the interior layout. The electronic control unit adjusts the temperature within the +2 °C to +8 °C range, suitable for dairy, deli meats, salads and other chilled items that must stay above freezing. The 0.11 kW power rating indicates a low electrical load, compatible with a standard 220-240 V single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens. The 1200 mm width accommodates five GN 1/4 containers side by side, each with a maximum height of 150 mm, so the cabinet is organised for small, frequent items rather than bulk storage. The smooth, crevice-free surfaces of the cabinet allow a single pass with a sanitising wipe to remove fingerprints, drips and food debris after each service. The static air system has no filters or fans to clean, but the automatic defrosting cycle should be checked periodically to ensure it is draining properly. GN 1/4 containers are not included, so compatible containers must be sourced separately. The cabinet is listed in the refrigeration section of the professional catering equipment catalogue, under display units.
