Plate warmer ROCAM 03800GEMM80IN

A food warmer cabinet keeps plated meals at serving temperature without moisture or steam. The ROCAM GEMMA80 uses dry-heating: an internal element warms the air inside the double-walled chamber. Because the walls are insulated, the heat stays even and the outer surface remains cool enough to touch. A mechanical thermostat cycles the element on and off to hold the set temperature between 30 °C and 90 °C, so the cabinet can warm plates, hold hot vegetables or keep sauces just below simmer without drying them out.

The operator loads the plates onto the adjustable chromed-steel grids, closes the door and sets the thermostat dial. An indicator light shows when the element is heating. Once the temperature is reached, the light turns off and the cabinet maintains it until the plates are removed. The grids rest on four supports, so they can be repositioned or removed for cleaning.

The cabinet is built from AISI 304 stainless steel, inside and out, for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The exterior measures 698 mm wide, 454 mm deep and 725 mm high; with the optional castor set the height increases to 805 mm. The unit weighs 36 kg, so it can be moved by two people or rolled on the optional castors, two of which have brakes to hold it in place.

A 0.7 kW heating element runs on 230 V single-phase supply, the standard circuit in British commercial kitchens. The footprint of 698 by 454 mm fits on most worktops or can be placed on a stand. The 80-plate capacity, based on plates up to 32 cm in diameter, allows a full service without refilling.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior and exterior stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The grids and their supports lift out for separate washing. The optional castors and additional grids are fitted at the time of order; the cabinet arrives ready to plug in with a UK-type G plug unless another option is chosen.
