Self-service display counter ROCAM 02100K3RV

A refrigerated buffet that circulates chilled air across every shelf and tray keeps food at a steady, safe temperature without drying it out. The fan draws air over an evaporator coil, cooling it before pushing it evenly through the cabinet. This method prevents hot spots and allows the unit to recover quickly when the door is opened or warm dishes are added. An automatic defrost cycle melts any ice that forms on the coil, draining the water away so the system runs without interruption.

The operator loads up to three full-size gastronorm trays into the 260 mm-deep stainless steel well. A digital thermostat is set to hold the well between +2 °C and +10 °C, matching the requirements of chilled food safety regulations. Once the temperature is selected, the compressor starts and the fan begins circulating the cooled air. The well's rounded edges and built-in drain cock simplify cleaning after service. Height-adjustable feet with a skirting board seal the gap beneath the unit, preventing dust and spills from collecting underneath.

The buffet's frame is stainless steel, while the exterior panelling can be specified in laminated wood, stainless steel or powder-coated steel. Sixteen wood finishes are available, from silver and birch to anthracite and chocolate. The lower compartment, when fitted, is accessed through doors and can be equipped with an intermediate shelf for additional storage. Removable tray slides and dish holders in wood or stainless steel allow the buffet to be configured for self-service or wall-mounted use, with reinforced folding hinges for frequent opening and closing.

A 230 V single-phase supply powers the compressor and fan, drawing 0.371 kW under standard conditions. Optional LED lighting, if added, increases the load. The unit's 90 kg weight is distributed across four castors—two with brakes—so it can be moved into position and secured. External dimensions of 1171 mm wide, 747 mm deep and 750 mm high fit through standard doorways, while the well's 1017 mm by 593 mm footprint accommodates three full-size gastronorm trays side by side.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel well and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The drain cock allows the well to be emptied and rinsed without lifting the unit. Removable tray slides and dish holders can be taken out and washed separately, while the skirting board prevents debris from accumulating beneath the buffet.

Optional accessories include laminated wood or stainless steel folding dish holders, removable display grids, and separators for half-size gastronorm containers. The buffet can be customised with a choice of castors, plugs, and adhesive stickers for branding or safety warnings. A 45° cut option is available for specific tray slide configurations, and a drain water system for cam units can be added to manage condensation.

The KIDS 3 RV is designed for primary school catering, where it holds chilled meals ready for service while maintaining food safety standards.
