Saladette counter IGLOO GLP140EX

A refrigerated salad bar keeps prepared salads, fruits and chilled dishes at serving temperature while presenting them to customers under glass. The internal cooling unit circulates cold air through a fan system, maintaining an even chill across every shelf. This dynamic cooling prevents warm spots and keeps food safe without freezing it. An automatic defrost cycle runs when the compressor is off, so ice never builds up and the unit stays efficient. Condensation is evaporated automatically, removing the need for manual draining and keeping the interior dry. The temperature is set and monitored by an electronic regulator with a digital display, giving the operator precise control over the storage climate. The operator loads the display area from the front, arranging bowls and platters on the stainless-steel shelves. The granite worktop provides a stable surface for additional items or for customer plates. A hinged rear door opens for restocking the storage area beneath, which is lined with a wipe-clean PES cover. LED lighting illuminates the display, making colours vivid and drawing attention to the food. When the condenser becomes clogged, a sound signal alerts the operator to clean it, preventing overheating and maintaining cooling performance. The outer casing is powder-coated steel, chosen for durability and resistance to kitchen moisture. The front panel is melamine, a hard-wearing laminate that resists scratches and stains. A straight front glass panel keeps the display visible while protecting the food from airborne contaminants. The entire unit is insulated with ecological polyurethane foam, reducing energy consumption and stabilising the internal temperature. The worktop is granite, a dense, non-porous material that stays cool and is easy to sanitise. The salad bar operates on a 230 V single-phase supply, the standard for commercial kitchen equipment in the UK. Its footprint of 2000 mm by 880 mm fits along a serving line or against a wall, while the 1300 mm height allows customers to view and reach every item. The temperature range of +2 to +8 °C is designed for chilled foods that must stay above freezing but below the danger zone, ensuring both safety and texture. The stainless-steel display shelf and melamine front wipe clean in seconds, so cross-contamination between leafy greens and dressings never lingers. The stainless-steel display area and PES-lined storage compartment can be wiped down with a sanitising solution. The granite worktop is cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The melamine front panel and powder-coated casing are wiped with a damp cloth to remove fingerprints and spills. The condenser should be vacuumed or brushed regularly to prevent dust build-up, which the sound signal will indicate. The sealed LED strips beneath the curved glass stay cool and bright through every service, letting the colours of fresh herbs and sliced peppers pop without fading. It is categorised in the IGLOO refrigerated display range as a self-service salad bar for professional catering environments.
