Drop-in cold well Novameta UCGV3-108/65/72

A drop-in ventilated cold basin creates a chilled display zone directly in the worktop by circulating cold air beneath an open well. The refrigeration unit draws heat from the air, lowering its temperature before a fan pushes the cooled air evenly across the basin floor and up the sides. This continuous airflow maintains a consistent chill without ice or water, keeping prepared foods at safe holding temperatures while leaving them visible and accessible to staff.

The operator cuts a precise opening in the worktop to the required dimensions, lowers the basin into place, and secles it flush with the surrounding surface. Once connected to the power supply, the remote control allows the temperature to be set anywhere between +2 °C and +8 °C from a distance, so adjustments can be made without interrupting service. The basin is loaded with chilled ingredients or plated dishes, and the ventilated system keeps them within the chosen range until they are removed for service.

The basin is constructed from stainless steel, forming a seamless well that resists corrosion and is easy to clean. The exterior housing is sized to fit the stated cut-out, ensuring a neat installation in standard worktop depths. A single power rating of 0.854 kW indicates the electrical load the unit draws when running, which determines the circuit it requires in a professional kitchen.

The temperature range of +2 °C to +8 °C is chosen to hold foods that must remain chilled but not frozen, such as salads, desserts, or pre-plated cold starters. The footprint of 1080 mm by 650 mm defines the space the basin occupies on the worktop, while the 720 mm height includes the refrigeration components housed beneath the counter.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel well with a damp cloth and approved sanitiser after each service period. The air distribution grilles should be checked regularly to ensure they remain free of debris that could obstruct airflow. No additional maintenance is required beyond keeping the unit connected to a stable power supply and using the remote control to set the desired temperature.

This model is designed as a drop-in unit for new or refurbished worktops, with no variants or additional configurations listed.
