Drop-in cold well TEFCOLD CW5/V

A built-in cold chafing dish keeps prepared salads, snacks and chilled drinks at serving temperature without drying or spoiling. The unit circulates chilled air evenly around five GN1/1 gastronorm pans, maintaining a steady low temperature above freezing. This ventilated cooling prevents hot spots and condensation, so food stays fresh and presentation stays crisp.

The operator slides the pans into the stainless-steel cavity, sets the electronic thermostat between +2 and +8 °C, and leaves the unit to run. A quiet fan draws air across an evaporator coil charged with R600a refrigerant, pulling heat from the cavity and expelling it at the rear. The low-profile design drops into a counter cut-out, leaving the worktop flush and the pans at easy reach for self-service.

Stainless-steel construction resists corrosion and stands up to daily wiping. The interior accepts standard GN1/1 pans up to the full five-pan capacity. An electronic thermostat gives precise control over the temperature band, while the 220-240 V, 50 Hz supply matches the standard UK single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens.

The 1790 mm width spans five GN1/1 pans side by side, making the most of under-counter space. At 50 kg, the unit is moved by two people or a trolley before installation. The 159 L volume provides ample room for bulk salads or multiple snack portions, while the +2 to +8 °C range keeps food safe without freezing delicate leaves or dressings.

Cleaning is a wipe-down of the stainless-steel interior and exterior, with occasional vacuuming of the rear condenser coil to maintain airflow. The unit is supplied without pans, allowing the operator to choose the right combination of inserts for each service.

The CW5/V is a built-in cold chafing dish designed for drop-in installation in buffet counters and self-service stations.
