Saladette counter Novameta FS0-E345-172/70/90

A refrigerated worktop that keeps salad ingredients chilled while providing a spacious cutting and assembly surface above. The built-in refrigeration system circulates cold air through an evaporator coil beneath the worktop, pulling heat from the storage drawers and maintaining a steady temperature between -5 °C and +8 °C. This slows bacterial growth and preserves crispness without freezing the produce, allowing chefs to prepare salads, sandwich fillings and garnishes directly on the counter.

The operator loads ingredients into the seven refrigerated drawers below the worktop, then arranges bowls or containers on the raised top shelf for easy reach. A circular opening in the work surface can hold a waste bin or a tall ingredient container, keeping the workflow organised. Once the temperature is set on the digital control panel, the unit runs continuously, so ingredients stay chilled until they are needed. The adjustable legs level the counter on uneven floors, ensuring the work surface remains stable.

The entire structure is built from AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitising in a busy kitchen. The refrigeration system is housed in a sealed compartment at the rear, with a single door providing access for maintenance. A 230 V electrical supply powers the compressor and digital controls, while the 0.293 kW power rating reflects the load on the kitchen circuit. The 135 kg weight indicates a sturdy, floor-standing unit that is moved only with a trolley or pallet jack.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and approved sanitiser, then removing the drawers to wash them separately. The refrigeration coils should be vacuumed periodically to maintain airflow, and the door seal checked for cracks to prevent cold air escaping. The 330 L volume provides ample storage for a full service without overcrowding, while the 1720 mm length fits along a standard kitchen wall, leaving 700 mm depth for aisle space.

The P345 is a single model with no variants; the adjustable legs allow the height to be set between 840 mm and 960 mm to match existing work surfaces. It is placed in the catalogue under refrigerated counters and prep tables.
