Self-service display counter ROCAM 013HP4BM

A heated bain marie buffet keeps prepared dishes at serving temperature without drying them out or overcooking. The HAPPY 4 BM uses a water-filled well beneath the food pans to transfer gentle, even heat. This water bath principle prevents hot spots and maintains moisture, making it suitable for delicate items like sauces, soups and desserts. The heat source warms the water, which then radiates warmth upwards into the gastronorm pans, ensuring consistent temperature across all four compartments.

To operate, fill the well with water to the marked level, then place the four GN1/1 pans into the slots. Set the mechanical thermostat to the desired temperature between 0° and +90°, and the indicator light confirms the unit is heating. The LED lighting illuminates the food display, while the upper Plexiglas® sneeze guard protects the dishes while keeping them visible. Two folding plate holders at the front and back provide space for plates or trays, and these can be adjusted to lie flat when not in use. The worktop is available in two heights—70 cm or 50 cm—to suit different users, including younger staff.

The HAPPY 4 BM is built with a laminated wood structure, chosen for its durability and ease of cleaning in high-traffic environments. The edges are rounded for safety, and the base includes a rubber bumper to protect against knocks. Four castors, two with brakes, allow the unit to be moved easily and secured in place. The well is 18 cm deep with a drain cock for quick water changes, and the control panel can be fitted with a safety door to prevent accidental adjustments.

The buffet's 2.27 kW power rating requires a dedicated 230 V circuit, typical for professional catering equipment. Its 1434 x 654 mm footprint fits standard buffet layouts, while the 112 kg weight ensures stability without being too heavy to reposition. The 0° to +90° temperature range covers everything from chilled desserts to hot mains, though it does not freeze or blast-chill.

Cleaning involves draining the well after each service, wiping down the laminated surfaces with a damp cloth, and removing the sneeze guard and plate holders for thorough washing. The stainless steel well and drain cock resist corrosion, while the laminated wood finish resists stains and scratches. Optional accessories, such as chromed retaining bars, stainless steel tray slides or custom adhesive stickers, can be added to tailor the unit to specific needs. The buffet is available in a wide range of colours, 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 veined black, allowing it to match any decor.

This model is categorised under heated buffet equipment and is designed for schools, family hotels and similar settings where safe, efficient food display is essential.
