Hot drop-in bain-marie ROCAM 006INDROP2BM

A bain marie heating well maintains prepared food at serving temperature without drying or scorching. The ROCAM 2BM drop-in model uses silicone adhesive heating elements beneath the well. These elements heat the water bath evenly, ensuring consistent temperature distribution. The water bath surrounds gastronorm containers, preserving moisture, texture, and flavour for dishes like sauces, soups, and proteins during service.

The unit includes a built-in water filling system with an overflow pipe to prevent spills. A digital thermostat allows precise temperature control between 0 and 90 °C. The well accommodates two GN 1/1 containers, which can be loaded directly without preheating. A drain cock at the base enables quick water changes for cleaning or food type transitions.

Constructed from stainless steel, the 2BM fits into a worktop cut-out. Its external dimensions of 846 mm wide, 747 mm deep, and 370 mm high suit standard kitchen counters. The well measures 691 mm by 592 mm by 260 mm, providing space for two full-size gastronorm containers. Weighing 26 kg, it can be handled by two people during installation.

Controls are simple: a digital thermostat sets and displays the water temperature, and a power switch activates the heating elements. The 1 kW power rating operates on a 230 V single-phase circuit, typical in professional kitchens. The temperature range of 0 to 90 °C supports gentle holding or reheating up to the legal limit.

Cleaning is easy. Stainless steel surfaces wipe clean, and the removable overflow pipe and drain cock allow thorough flushing. The water system resists scale build-up, and the sealed silicone elements require no maintenance beyond regular water changes.

Optional upgrades tailor the unit to different service needs. LED lighting brightens the well for self-service displays, while halogen lamps add heat for open buffets. Tempered glass sneeze-guards in various configurations protect food in assisted or self-service settings. A removable display grid supports containers above the water line, and a water drain kit simplifies emptying. A UK plug supplement ensures compatibility with British electrical standards.

Designed for integration into worktops and serving stations, the 2BM suits professional kitchens, canteens, and catering operations.
