Self-service display counter SAYL BUB65V

A heated buffet display case keeps prepared dishes warm and visible for service without drying or overcooking. The unit circulates gentle heat across a flat surface, maintaining an even temperature that preserves texture and flavour. Unlike a bain-marie, which uses water or steam, a dry-heat buffet case relies on electric elements beneath the worktop; this method avoids condensation and keeps the presentation crisp.

The SAYL BUB65 V is built for gastronorm containers. Place up to three GN 1/1 trays of 65 mm depth directly on the heated surface. Set the digital controller to 80 °C; the system holds that temperature continuously, so food stays ready for plating throughout service. LED strips above and below the glass shelves bathe the dishes in cool, uniform light, making colours vivid and textures appealing from every angle.

To use the unit, position it on a level worktop near a 230 V supply. Load the GN containers onto the heated plate, switch on the power and select 80 °C. The display shows the current temperature; once reached, the unit maintains it automatically. The tempered-glass shelves above can hold garnishes, labels or additional dishes that do not require heat. When service ends, remove the containers, switch off the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning.

The exterior is stainless steel with a high-pressure laminate front panel that mimics stone. Tempered glass with protective profiles forms the sides and shelves, resisting chips and scratches. A digital control panel on the front sets and monitors the temperature; the same panel houses the LED lighting switch.

The 230 V, 50/60 Hz supply matches standard UK commercial circuits, so no special wiring is needed. The footprint of 1300 × 700 mm fits most buffet lines or pass-through counters, while the 1285 mm height allows clear sightlines for customers. The 80 °C setting is chosen for holding hot entrées, sauces and sides without risk of spoilage or drying.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasives. The glass shelves lift out for separate cleaning. The LED strips are sealed and require no maintenance beyond occasional dusting. The laminate front panel resists stains and can be cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth.

A variant, the BUB65 V-T, offers a back plate area instead of the front plate. Both models can be customised in colour and materials to match kitchen décor.

The BUB65 V is listed in the SAYL catalogue under heated buffet equipment for professional catering.
