Heated module ROCAM 01900OM4PC

A heated buffet counter keeps plated dishes at serving temperature without overcooking or drying them out. The ROCAM OMNIA 4PC uses an electric element beneath a tempered glass worktop to radiate gentle, even heat across the surface. Grooves in the glass mark the heated zones, so staff know exactly where to place plates and trays. A digital thermostat lets the operator set the temperature anywhere from chilled storage to hot holding, allowing the same unit to hold cold desserts, warm sauces or hot mains. Because the heat comes from below and rises through the glass, the food stays at the chosen temperature without direct contact with the element, preventing scorching and preserving texture and moisture.

To use the counter, the operator first selects the desired temperature on the digital control. Once the worktop reaches the set point, plates or trays are placed within the grooved heated zones. The unit holds the temperature automatically, so no further adjustment is needed during service. When service ends, the operator switches the unit off and removes the dishes. The tempered glass surface is easy to wipe clean, and the lower compartment can be used for storage or additional heated holding, depending on the chosen configuration.

The OMNIA 4PC is built on a stainless steel frame that can be finished in laminated wood, stainless steel, powder coating or over-panelled wood in a range of colours. Adjustable feet allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors, and the feet can be hidden behind a skirting board for a seamless look. The worktop itself is a single sheet of tempered glass, which resists thermal shock and provides a smooth, hygienic surface. The lower compartment has its own set of doors, allowing separate access without disturbing the dishes on top.

Controls are limited to the digital thermostat, which sets the temperature for the heated zones. The power rating of 2 kW indicates the load the unit places on the electrical circuit; with optional LED or halogen lighting, this figure may increase. The 230 V voltage means the counter plugs into a standard single-phase outlet found in most professional kitchens. At 75 kg, the unit is heavy enough to stay stable during service but light enough to be moved by two people when needed. The external dimensions of 1496 x 747 x 910 mm give the counter a compact footprint that fits against a wall or in an island configuration, while the top dimensions of 1342 x 593 mm provide ample heated space for four GN 1/1 gastronorm trays.

Cleaning the counter involves wiping the tempered glass top with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each service. The stainless steel frame and doors can be cleaned with standard kitchen sanitising solutions. The lower compartment should be emptied and wiped down regularly to prevent spills from accumulating. The adjustable feet should be checked periodically to ensure the unit remains level, and the digital thermostat should be calibrated if the displayed temperature no longer matches the actual temperature of the food.

The OMNIA 4PC is available in multiple configurations, with options for LED or halogen lighting, different types of sneeze-guards, and various tray holders. The sneeze-guards come in straight or inclined tempered glass, and some versions enclose the public side for assisted service. Tray holders can be fixed or foldable, made of laminated wood or stainless steel, and positioned on the front, back or short sides of the unit. The lower compartment can be configured for chilled storage or fan-assisted heating, depending on the needs of the kitchen.

This buffet counter is categorised under heated serving equipment in the ROCAM professional catering range.
