Refrigerated counter with drawers Novameta BHS-FP0-E404-213/70/90

A cooling counter keeps prepared food chilled at serving height while displaying it under a clear lid. Instead of a compressor pushing refrigerant through a coil inside a closed cabinet, the evaporator sits directly beneath the worktop. Cold air rises through vents in the stainless steel deck, creating an even layer of chilled air just above the food. This open-front design lets staff reach in without opening doors, so the temperature stays steady and the food stays visible to customers.

The operator loads trays, pans or plated dishes onto the worktop, closes the hinged glass lid and sets the thermostat between -5 °C and +8 °C. Once the unit reaches the chosen temperature, the compressor cycles on and off to maintain it. The 2130 mm worktop gives space for a full service line, while the 430 L volume holds enough stock for a busy shift without overcrowding.

The counter is built in AISI 304 stainless steel, standardised for food contact and corrosion resistance. The exterior panels form a single welded frame, and the interior liner is seamless. A single-phase 230 V supply powers the compressor and the internal lighting, so the unit plugs into a standard kitchen circuit without additional wiring.

The 700 mm depth fits between standard worktops and cupboards, and the 900 mm height matches most serving counters. The 2130 mm length provides a continuous run for buffet or counter service. The 0.293 kW power rating reflects the load on the electrical supply during compressor operation.

Cleaning follows from the open deck and seamless liner. After removing the food, the operator wipes the worktop and interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The glass lid lifts off for thorough cleaning, and the vents beneath the deck can be brushed to remove dust. The exterior panels are wiped down daily to maintain hygiene and appearance.

The catalogue places the P404 in the refrigeration section under cooling counters and serving units.
