Refrigerator GEMM 45010510

A pastry refrigerator keeps delicate baked goods at precise temperatures without drying them out. Instead of a fan blowing cold air directly onto the food, the unit circulates air gently around a heat exchanger. This indirect cooling prevents dehydration and maintains the texture of pastries, cakes and fresh produce. The system also holds humidity higher than a standard refrigerator, so fruit and vegetables stay crisp and pastries retain moisture for longer shelf life. The GEMM ARP/40 is built for 600×800 mm gastronorm trays. Twenty pairs of runners are supplied, each pair spaced at 16.5 mm intervals, giving seventy-four adjustable positions. The operator loads trays onto the runners, sets the desired temperature between -2 °C and +8 °C on the 2.8-inch touch panel, and the refrigerator maintains that temperature automatically. An internal digital display shows the current reading. When the door is opened, the soft-ventilation system quickly restores the set point without temperature spikes. Construction is stainless steel throughout, chosen for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning in busy kitchens. Insulation is 75 mm thick, reducing heat gain and keeping energy use low even when the door is opened frequently. Inside the ARP/40, R290 circulates silently through the evaporator coils, carrying heat away from delicate pastries without drying their crusts or altering their texture. An automatic hot-gas defrost cycle melts ice from the evaporator without manual intervention, and condensate is drained away automatically, so the interior stays dry and hygienic. The unit runs on a single-phase 230 V supply at 50 Hz, the standard circuit in British commercial kitchens. Power consumption is 1.005 kW, with a daily energy use of 2.55 kWh. The footprint of 790 mm width by 1080 mm depth fits through standard doorways and leaves room for aisle traffic. Total height is 2140 mm, allowing clearance under most worktop extractor hoods. Empty weight is 188 kg, so two people or a sack trolley are needed to move it. Stainless-steel walls and seamless welds let you wipe down every surface with a damp cloth after each service, leaving no crevices for sugar or flour to settle. Stainless steel surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth and sanitiser. The runners clip out for thorough cleaning or reconfiguration. The automatic defrost and condensate removal reduce manual upkeep, but the evaporator and drain pan should be checked periodically to ensure no blockages form. The ARP/40 is classified for climatic class 5, meaning it operates reliably in warm, humid kitchens where ambient temperatures reach 40 °C. Energy efficiency class D reflects the balance between insulation thickness and cooling performance in a unit designed for frequent door openings. This model is listed in the GEMM professional refrigeration catalogue under pastry and fresh-produce storage.
