Self-service display counter ROCAM 01000ATH6FREW

A refrigerated buffet unit designed to hold and display chilled food safely while maintaining an organised and attractive presentation. The ATHENA 6 R/W uses static refrigeration to circulate cool air around the interior, keeping contents at a consistent temperature without the need for forced airflow.

The unit operates by drawing heat away from the food and expelling it through discreet ventilation grids integrated into the laminated wood structure. A digital thermostat allows precise control over the internal climate, maintaining temperatures between +2 °C and +8 °C to comply with food safety standards. LED lighting illuminates the display area, enhancing visibility and making the food more appealing to customers.

To use the buffet, the operator first ensures the unit is level and connected to a suitable power supply. The digital thermostat is set to the desired temperature, and the unit is allowed to reach the correct climate before loading. GN1/1 gastronorm pans, not included, are placed into the refrigerated well or on the upper shelf, depending on the chosen configuration. The fixed Plexiglas® sneezeguard protects the food from contamination while allowing clear visibility. Once loaded, the unit maintains the set temperature automatically, requiring only periodic checks of the thermostat and cleaning.

The structure is built from laminated wood, chosen for its durability and aesthetic versatility. The rear mirror creates an illusion of depth, making the display appear larger and more inviting. The upper shelf is designed with an increased depth and a rear containing edge to prevent items from sliding off. Two polyamide castors with brakes provide mobility, allowing the unit to be repositioned easily while remaining stable during service.

The buffet is powered by a 230 V single-phase supply, suitable for standard UK commercial circuits. The power rating reflects the load required to maintain refrigeration and lighting simultaneously. The unit's weight of 219 kg indicates that it is designed to be moved by two people or with the aid of a trolley, while its footprint of 2149 mm in length and 747 mm in width dictates the space it will occupy on the worktop or floor.

Cleaning involves wiping down the laminated wood surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. The Plexiglas® sneezeguard can be cleaned with a non-scratch solution to maintain clarity. The refrigerated well and upper shelf should be emptied and sanitised regularly to prevent bacterial growth. The ventilation grids must be kept free of dust and debris to ensure efficient heat exchange.

The ATHENA 6 R/W is available in a range of customisable finishes, including SILVER, ROSE, SAFFRON, LIME, SKY, OCEAN, IVY, SAGE, CAPPUCCINO, CLAY, GREY, NIAGARA, VEINED WHITE, WHITE SAND, BIRCH, GREY FOG, ELM, WALNUT, WENGE, ANTHRACITE, and VENED BLACK. Additional options include foldable dish holders, removable tray slides, intermediate floors, and reinforced castors, allowing the unit to be tailored to specific operational needs.

This refrigerated buffet is categorised as a static refrigeration unit for display and service, suitable for buffet lines, self-service areas, and catering events where chilled food must be presented attractively while remaining safe for consumption.
