Self-service display counter ROCAM 01000ATH5FBM

A heated buffet unit designed to maintain and display hot food at serving temperatures without drying or overcooking. The ATHENA 5BM uses a bain marie system: heating elements beneath a stainless steel well transfer heat evenly into water or steam, surrounding gastronorm containers.

The unit holds up to five GN1/1 containers. The operator sets the desired temperature on the digital thermostat and allows the unit to preheat. Once ready, a display grid supports plates or trays while keeping food accessible. An upper Plexiglass sneeze guard and LED lighting enhance visibility and hygiene, while a drain cock simplifies water changes and cleaning.

Built on a laminated wood frame, the buffet combines stability with a professional look. The well is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance and durability in busy kitchens. Two 75 mm industrial castors with brakes enable movement for cleaning or reorganisation, then lock securely during service.

Controls are simple: a digital thermostat adjusts the temperature between 0 °C and +90 °C, covering warming to holding at serving temperatures. The 230 V supply matches standard single-phase circuits in professional kitchens, with a 3.018 kW power rating indicating its electrical load.

The buffet measures 1824 mm wide, 747 mm deep, and 1515 mm high, fitting neatly along a wall or island in a serving area. Its 167 kg weight ensures stability without hindering repositioning. Packing dimensions of 185 × 92 × 185h mm facilitate delivery and assembly.

Cleaning is straightforward: the stainless steel well and drain cock can be emptied, wiped, and sanitised daily. Laminated wood surfaces are cleaned with a damp cloth, while the Plexiglass sneeze guard is removable for thorough cleaning. The LED lighting is sealed to prevent moisture ingress.

Customisation includes a choice of laminated wood finishes, from neutral tones to bold colours. Accessories like foldable dish holders, tray slides, and lower doors adapt the unit to specific service needs or space constraints. Each accessory is removable or foldable, allowing reconfiguration between services or compact storage.

The ATHENA 5BM suits restaurants, hotels, and event catering where food must be held at temperature while remaining visible and accessible to guests.
