Showcase UNIS COOL 1170110

A refrigerated display unit built to hold chilled goods at a steady temperature just above freezing, the KALIX 900 keeps products visible and accessible while maintaining food-safe conditions. The system relies on a refrigeration cycle: a compressor circulates refrigerant through coils, pulling heat from the interior and releasing it outside. Forced-air cooling distributes the cold air evenly across every shelf, preventing warm spots and ensuring consistent temperatures throughout the cabinet.

To operate the unit, the user loads chilled goods onto the three adjustable shelves, closes the glass door, and sets the desired temperature on the electronic control panel. The system starts automatically, running the compressor and fan to reach and hold the set point. An automatic defrost cycle periodically melts any ice build-up on the evaporator, draining the water away without manual intervention. The illuminated top panel ensures products remain clearly visible under retail lighting.

The cabinet is constructed from grey-coated metal, forming a rigid frame that supports the glass door and internal components. Adjustable legs allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, while the forced-air system and electronic controls are housed within the base. The refrigerant blend used is a low-GWP mixture designed to meet current environmental standards.

The 0.57 kW power rating indicates the electrical load the unit places on a single-phase 230 V circuit, a standard supply in commercial premises. The 82 kg weight reflects the robust construction needed to support the glass and metal structure, requiring two people or a trolley for safe movement. The footprint of 895 mm wide by 505 mm deep fits neatly in front of checkout counters, maximising retail space without obstructing customer flow.

Cleaning involves wiping the glass door and metal surfaces with a mild detergent solution, while the interior shelves can be removed for thorough washing. The automatic defrost system reduces the need for manual ice removal, though the drain line should be checked periodically to ensure it remains clear.

The KALIX 900 is categorised as a counter-top display refrigeration unit for retail environments such as forecourt shops and supermarkets.
