Drop-in cold well ROCAM 006INDROP3R

A static cold module chills food without forced air, relying on natural convection to draw heat from the stainless steel well into the refrigerant coil. The R290 gas absorbs the heat and carries it to the compressor, where it is expelled outside the unit. This method keeps the temperature steady and even, avoiding dehydration of uncovered food while maintaining safe holding conditions.

The DROP-IN-3R module is installed into a worktop cut-out, leaving only the well and control panel exposed. Three GN 1/1 pans sit side by side in the 26 cm deep stainless steel well, which has rounded edges for easy cleaning and a drain cock to remove condensation or spillage. A digital thermostat regulates the well temperature between +2 °C and +10 °C, allowing safe holding of cold starters, salads or desserts.

To use the module, place filled GN pans into the well, set the desired temperature on the digital thermostat, and switch the unit on. The compressor starts automatically, maintaining the temperature without further adjustment. When service is complete, remove the pans, switch off the unit, and drain any accumulated water through the cock.

The well is constructed from stainless steel with rounded corners, and the exterior is finished in the same material. The module is supplied with a 230 V plug and weighs 43 kg, making it suitable for permanent installation in a fixed worktop. The external footprint of 1171 × 747 mm fits standard counter depths, while the well dimensions of 1016 × 592 mm accommodate three GN 1/1 pans.

The 0.330 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical circuit, which may increase if optional LED lighting is fitted. The temperature range of +2 °C to +10 °C is designed for holding chilled food, not for rapid cooling or freezing.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel well and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then drying to prevent water marks. The drain cock should be opened periodically to remove condensation. The well's rounded edges and removable grid (if fitted) simplify thorough cleaning.

Two completion variants are available: one with an integrated refrigeration unit (STANDART) and one ready for remote refrigeration connection (REM). Optional accessories include LED lighting, tempered glass sneeze-guards in straight or inclined configurations, closed glass displays for assisted service, and spacers for GN tanks. A surcharge applies for a UK plug, and a 60 Hz compressor is available for export markets.

The module is categorised as a drop-in refrigerated counter for professional catering use.
