Self-service display counter ROCAM 01200HEKO5FRE

A refrigerated buffet keeps prepared food chilled while it is displayed and served. The unit draws heat from the stainless-steel well with a static refrigeration system, circulating cold air without a fan. This method avoids drying the food and keeps the surface free from moving parts that could trap debris. A digital thermostat regulates the temperature between +2 °C and +10 °C, allowing safe storage of cold dishes without freezing them.

The operator loads up to five gastronorm 1/1 pans into the well, sets the desired temperature on the digital control, and switches the neon lighting above the sneezeguard. The transparent Plexiglas shield protects the food from airborne particles while keeping it visible to customers. A drain cock at the base of the well collects condensation and allows quick emptying during cleaning.

The buffet's structure combines laminated wood with chromed details for a durable, professional finish. The well itself is stainless steel, 18 cm deep, and the unit stands on two castors with brakes for stability and mobility. The overall footprint is 1759 mm wide, 654 mm deep and 1348 mm high, fitting into standard kitchen layouts without obstructing workflow.

Controls include a digital thermostat to set the refrigeration cycle and a switch for the upper neon lighting. The 230 V voltage requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, and the 3.655 kW power rating indicates the load the unit places on the supply.

The 210 kg weight reflects the robust construction needed to support the well, structure and refrigeration components. This also means the unit must be moved with care, ideally by two people or with a trolley designed for heavy equipment.

Cleaning involves wiping the laminated wood surfaces and chromed parts with a damp cloth, while the stainless-steel well and drain cock require regular sanitising to prevent bacterial growth. The removable sneezeguard can be taken off for thorough cleaning, and the drain cock should be opened to release any accumulated water.

The HEKO 5R is available in a range of custom colours, including silver, rose, saffron, sky, ocean, ivy, sage, cappuccino, clay, grey, Niagara, veined white, white sand, birch, grey fog, elm, walnut, wenge, anthracite and veined black. Optional accessories include chromed retaining bars, foldable dish holders, stainless-steel tray slides, lower cupboard doors and a middle shelf for additional storage.

In the catalogue, the HEKO 5R is listed under refrigerated buffets, designed for front-of-house service where chilled food must be displayed attractively and kept at safe temperatures.
