Self-service display counter ROCAM 01000ATH5MPR

A refrigerated countertop buffet keeps prepared food chilled while it is displayed and served. A compressor circulates refrigerant through coils inside the cabinet, pulling heat from the interior and releasing it outside. The cooled air is then distributed evenly across the food trays by a fan, maintaining a steady low temperature that slows bacterial growth and preserves freshness without freezing. Because the unit sits on the worktop, it frees floor space and places the food at a convenient serving height for staff and customers. The ROCAM Athena 5 is loaded from the top. Slide up to five GN1/1 gastronorm trays into the refrigerated cavity, then close the transparent sneeze guard. The guard rises and lowers electrically, so the operator does not lift it manually. Set the digital thermostat between +2 °C and +10 °C to match the food being held; the LED lighting inside makes the contents clearly visible. Two polyamide castors with brakes allow the unit to be moved for cleaning or repositioning, then locked in place. The structure is built from laminated wood panels, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen. A Betacryl countertop with a Plexiglas profile improves cold retention at the top, where the food is held. The refrigerant is R290, a hydrocarbon that has a low environmental impact and is efficient at the temperatures required for chilled display. The power rating of 0.605 kW indicates the electrical load the unit draws from a standard 230 V single-phase circuit. The footprint of 1824 mm by 747 mm fits on most worktops, while the height of 1515 mm keeps the food within easy reach. At 181 kg, the buffet is heavy enough to remain stable during service but can still be rolled on its castors when needed. The packing size of 185 cm by 92 cm by 185 cm determines the space required for delivery and storage before installation. Cleaning involves wiping the laminated wood surfaces and the Betacryl countertop with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The Plexiglas sneeze guard should be cleaned regularly to maintain visibility, and the castors should be checked for debris that could impede movement. The LED strips illuminate every tray slot evenly, so staff can spot fresh ingredients at a glance without opening the sneezeguard. Optional accessories allow the buffet to be customised for specific layouts. Folding dish holders, tray slides, intermediate floors and upper shelves can be added in laminated wood or stainless steel. Reinforced castors, contrasting worktop colours and custom adhesive stickers are also available. The unit can be fitted with a UK plug for local electrical standards. The Athena 5 is placed in the refrigerated display and buffet section of the professional catering catalogue.
