Self-service display counter ROCAM 01000ATH4MPR

A refrigerated countertop buffet keeps prepared dishes chilled while presenting them within easy reach of staff and customers. The Athena 4 PR/M circulates cold air evenly across four standard gastronorm trays, maintaining a consistent temperature between +2 °C and +10 °C. This controlled environment slows bacterial growth and preserves texture and flavour without freezing the contents. The refrigeration system uses R290, a natural refrigerant with low environmental impact, which removes heat from the cabinet and expels it through a condenser located at the rear of the unit. To begin service, the operator loads up to four GN1/1 trays into the refrigerated cavity. The digital thermostat is set to the desired temperature within the +2 °C to +10 °C range, and the unit is switched on. An LED strip illuminates the interior, making the dishes visible through the hinged plexiglass sneezeguard. The guard rises and lowers electrically, allowing quick access without manual lifting. Once the temperature stabilises, the buffet is ready for continuous use throughout service. The buffet's structure is built from laminated wood, chosen for durability and resistance to moisture in busy kitchens. The worktop is made of Betacryl, a material that enhances cold retention and is framed with a plexiglass profile to improve insulation. Two polyamide castors with brakes are fitted to the base, enabling the unit to be moved for cleaning or reorganisation and then locked in place. The overall footprint of 1499 mm by 747 mm fits standard worktop depths while providing ample display space. Controls are simple and direct: a digital thermostat adjusts the temperature, and an on-off switch manages power. The 230 V voltage requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, allowing straightforward installation without additional wiring. The 0.602 kW power rating indicates a modest electrical load, suitable for continuous operation alongside other kitchen equipment. The laminated wood finish and sealed seams let you wipe the buffet down between service rushes without water seeping into the insulation. The laminated wood surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent, while the plexiglass sneezeguard and Betacryl worktop are cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners to avoid scratching. The refrigerated cavity should be emptied and defrosted periodically to maintain efficiency. The castors and brakes should be checked regularly to ensure smooth movement and secure positioning. The Athena 4 PR/M is available with a range of optional accessories to tailor the unit to specific service needs. These include foldable dish holders in laminated wood or stainless steel, removable tray slides, intermediate refrigerated compartments, and upper shelves with increased depth. The finishing colour can be customised from twenty options, including silver, rose, saffron, lime, sky, and anthracite, allowing the buffet to match the kitchen's aesthetic. This model is categorised as a countertop buffet, designed for front-of-house display and service in professional catering environments such as hotels, restaurants, and event catering operations.
