Self-service display counter ROCAM 02100K3BMSEP

A water-heated buffet keeps food at serving temperature without drying it out. Hot water circulates beneath stainless steel wells, transferring heat evenly through the metal and into the food above. The water is heated by silicone adhesive elements and held at the set temperature by a digital thermostat. This method prevents hot spots and keeps sauces, vegetables and proteins moist for hours, which is essential in school meal service where dishes must stay ready until the last child is served.

The buffet is loaded by placing GN1/1 gastronorm pans into the 26 cm deep wells. The operator sets the desired temperature on the digital thermostat, which regulates the water between 0 °C and +90 °C. Once the water reaches the set point, the unit maintains it automatically. The wells have rounded edges and a drain cock for quick emptying and cleaning. A lower compartment with optional doors can be added for storage or additional heating.

The frame is stainless steel with laminated wood or powder-coated steel panelling in a choice of twenty colours. The unit stands on adjustable feet with a skirting board to seal the gap beneath. Optional accessories include foldable dish holders in laminated wood or stainless steel, removable tray slides, display grids and reinforced castors for mobility. Each side can be configured independently, allowing the buffet to fit against a wall or stand as an island.

The 1.5 kW power rating is for the standard water heating; optional LED or halogen lighting increases the load. The 230 V supply connects to a standard single-phase circuit. The external footprint of 1171 × 747 mm fits through standard doorways, while the 1017 × 593 mm well dimensions accept three GN1/1 pans side by side. The 63 kg weight allows two people to move the unit when empty.

Cleaning involves draining the wells through the cock, wiping the stainless steel surfaces and removing any optional accessories for separate washing. The laminated wood or powder-coated panels can be wiped with a damp cloth. The lower compartment, if fitted, is accessed through doors and cleaned in the same way as the main structure.

The buffet is available in multiple configurations: with or without lower compartments, different dish holder styles, castor types and lighting options. Custom adhesive stickers can be added for branding or safety notices. The colour of the panelling can be chosen from a range 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.

This model is designed for primary school catering and is listed in the professional buffet section of the catalogue.
