Kubus Drop-In Cold Well Self-Service Display 1175mm

The Kubus 1175mm drop-in cold well is a refrigerated self-service display unit designed to sit flush within a fabricated or purpose-built counter. Capable of holding three full 1/1 GN pans, it chills food and drink to between -1°C and 5°C using R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant — a low global-warming-potential gas that also tends to run more economically than older refrigerant types. The condensing unit is underslung beneath the counter, with ventilation handled by the air grille kit supplied, meaning no separate remote refrigeration circuit is required.

In a busy service environment, the unit is built for continuous use — rated for 24-hour operation as standard. The stainless steel and aluminium superstructure is robust enough for daily front-of-house service, and the flat toughened glass sneeze screen on the customer side meets the practical hygiene requirements expected in food retail, deli, and hospitality counters. An eye-level digital temperature display on the operator side allows staff to check food safety compliance at a glance, and the temperature-lockable control panel prevents accidental or unauthorised adjustments during service.

From an operational standpoint, several design details make day-to-day running easier:

• Modular removable deck plates simplify cleaning between services
• Integral condensate evaporator removes the need for a site drain connection
• Diffused gantry lighting illuminates displayed products without creating harsh hotspots
• Supplied with a 2m lead and plug top, ready for a standard connection point

Installation requires counter-top cut-out work to the correct dimensions and adequate clearance beneath the counter for the condensing unit and air grilles. At 116kg, the unit is substantial and will need appropriate structural support within the counter. GN containers are sold separately. The integral condensate evaporator removes drainage requirements, which simplifies installation considerably in locations where running a drain to the counter position would be difficult.

This unit is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast counters, deli bars, staff restaurants, and food-to-go operations where customers serve themselves from a chilled display. The three-pan capacity suits moderate service volumes; operators running higher-throughput counters or needing a longer display run may want to consider a wider unit from the range. For lower-volume or more compact installations, a smaller drop-in format may be more appropriate.

If you are planning a new counter build or fitting this into an existing surface and are unsure about the cut-out, condensing unit clearance, or ventilation requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
