Drop-in cold well Novameta UCGV2-74/65/72

A drop-in ventilated cold basin maintains chilled ingredients at precise low temperatures without freezing them. Cool air is circulated continuously by a fan-driven system, ensuring even distribution across the entire basin. This method prevents hot spots and keeps food within the safe temperature range for extended periods, making it suitable for perishable items like salads, seafood or garnishes that must stay crisp and fresh until service.

The unit is installed into a worktop with a cut-out measuring 725 mm by 630 mm, creating a seamless fit in a professional kitchen layout. Once powered, the basin reaches and holds temperatures between +2 °C and +8 °C. The remote control allows staff to adjust settings without interrupting workflow, particularly useful in busy environments where access to the unit may be limited.

Operation begins by placing ingredients directly into the basin. The ventilated cooling system activates automatically, circulating chilled air to maintain the set temperature. The basin's construction allows it to integrate flush with surrounding work surfaces, reducing clutter and improving hygiene by eliminating gaps where debris could collect.

The basin is constructed to fit a standardised cut-out, with external dimensions of 740 mm in length, 650 mm in width and 720 mm in height. Its power requirement of 0.663 kW indicates a moderate electrical load, suitable for typical kitchen circuits without requiring dedicated high-power lines.

Cleaning involves removing any food debris from the basin and wiping down surfaces with a damp cloth. The ventilated system requires occasional checks to ensure air pathways remain unobstructed, though no disassembly is necessary for routine maintenance. The remote control should be kept dry and stored in a designated area to prevent damage.

This model is designed as a drop-in unit, allowing it to be integrated into existing workstations without additional floor space.

The Novameta UCGV2-74/65/72 is categorised under ventilated cold equipment in professional kitchen refrigeration.
