Kubus Other Equipment

The Kubus KHBM5 is a drop-in dry heat bain marie designed to hold pre-cooked food at a safe serving temperature within a built-in countertop. It accommodates five full 1/1 GN containers, each supported by individual collar frames that accept containers up to 150mm deep. Overhead infrared quartz lamps mounted in an elliptical gantry provide radiant heat and display illumination from above, while a heated base well maintains temperature from below. This dual-source arrangement is what distinguishes dry heat bain maries from simpler single-element holding units — the combination of top and base heat gives more consistent core temperature stability across a full service period.

In carveries, school catering operations, staff restaurants, and self-service hospitality settings, temperature drift during extended service is a genuine food safety and quality risk. The KHBM5 is factory set to hold food at 85°C core and can be adjusted up to 110°C. Both the base heater and lamp intensity are independently adjustable and lockable via a digital control panel and dimmer switch positioned at the operator side of the gantry — within reach without leaning across the display. The unit is rated for continuous 24-hour operation, which suits venues running long or unbroken service windows.

Key practical advantages for operators include:

• Independent, lockable base heat and lamp controls to prevent accidental adjustment mid-service
• Removable modular heater element covers in the heated well for straightforward daily cleaning
• Toughened flat glass sneeze guard on the customer-facing side to support hygiene compliance
• Illuminated display presentation suited to both self-service and assisted-service counter formats
• Individual GN collar supports allowing flexible container configurations within the five-position layout

Installation requires a pre-formed cut-out in an existing or purpose-built countertop. The unit is supplied with a lifting kit, concealed control box, and a 2-metre flexible electrical conduit for hard-wiring to a 20-amp, 230V supply. There are no gas or water connections. At 71kg, two-person installation is strongly advisable, and the counter structure must be capable of bearing the unit's loaded weight. GN containers are not included and should be specified separately to suit your menu.

The KHBM5 is well suited to self-service restaurants, carvery operations, staff canteens, and hospitality venues where food needs to be held attractively and safely across a service period of several hours. It is a five-position unit — operators running larger or higher-throughput counters may find a wider configuration better suited to their layout, while smaller operations with limited counter space may be better served by a three-position alternative.

If you'd like to talk through whether this unit fits your counter design, service model, or volume requirements, our team is glad to help you work it out before you order.

The Kubus KHBM4 is a drop-in dry heat bain marie designed to sit within a pre-formed cutout in a servery or self-service counter. It holds four full 1/1 GN containers in a single row, keeping pre-cooked food at safe holding temperatures throughout a service period without the need for water. Factory set at 85°C, with an adjustable operating range available to the operator.

Heat is delivered from two independent sources: a heated base well that accepts GN containers up to 150mm deep, and infrared quartz lamps housed in an overhead elliptical gantry. This dual-source arrangement maintains consistent surface and core temperature across the full display, which is important during extended holding periods where both food quality and food safety need to be sustained. Base heat and lamp intensity are controlled separately via a digital temperature display and dimmer switch, positioned on the operator side of the gantry at eye level — a sensible layout that allows quick adjustments mid-service without disrupting the customer-facing presentation.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the KHBM4 offers several practical advantages for servery environments:

• Individual GN collar supports allow mixed container depths across the same display
• Removable heater element covers in the base well make daily cleaning straightforward
• Toughened flat glass sneeze screen provides hygiene protection without obstructing the customer view
• Rated for 24-hour operation, suiting venues running extended or all-day service
• Polished stainless steel and aluminium superstructure is robust and easy to wipe down

Installation requires a pre-formed cutout in a suitable countertop. The unit is supplied with a lifting kit, a concealed control box, and a plug-top on a 2-metre lead, so electrical connection is straightforward in most configurations — though countertop substrate and cutout dimensions should be confirmed and prepared before delivery. At 60kg, two people are needed for installation. GN containers are not included.

The KHBM4 is well suited to staff restaurants, school and hospital canteens, hotel buffet serveries, and self-service operations where food is held and presented across a counter during sustained service periods. Sites with lower throughput or limited counter space may find a smaller unit more appropriate, while high-volume operations running multiple food zones may benefit from a heavier-duty or multi-section arrangement.

If you are planning a servery counter build or refurbishment and want to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your setup, our team is glad to help before you commit to a purchase.

The Kubus KHBM3 is a drop-in dry heat bain marie designed to sit flush within a countertop cutout, maintaining pre-cooked food at safe holding temperatures throughout service. It accommodates three full 1/1 GN containers and is built primarily for self-service and assisted-service applications — carvery counters, hotel buffet lines, staff canteens, and pub serveries are all typical settings.

Where a dry heat format differs from a water-based bain marie is in the way heat is delivered. Infrared quartz lamps in the overhead gantry provide surface heat, while a heated base well warms from below. Because there is no water involved, there is no condensation or moisture build-up around the food, which is a practical advantage in open-display situations. Base and surface heat are independently adjustable from the operator side of the gantry, with the unit factory set to hold food at 85°C. Both controls can be locked once set, which is useful in high-footfall environments where tampering is a risk. The 24-hour operating capability means it will run through extended service periods without cycling off.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Independent base and surface heat control, lockable to prevent adjustment during service
• Individual 1/1 GN support collars accepting containers up to 150mm deep, with flexibility across GN sizes
• Toughened flat glass sneeze screen on the customer side, supporting open food display hygiene requirements
• Dry infrared heating that avoids moisture build-up around food during service
• Removable heater element covers in the heated well for straightforward end-of-service cleaning

Installation requires a pre-formed cutout in the countertop built to the correct dimensions. The unit is supplied with a lifting kit, a concealed control box, and a plug-top on a 2-metre lead, so a hardwired electrical connection is not required for most installations. At 49kg, the unit is substantial, and counter access for fitting should be planned before the surrounding structure is completed. GN containers are not included and need to be sourced separately.

The KHBM3 is well suited to medium-volume operations running a defined service period — hotel buffets, workplace canteens, carvery restaurants, and similar settings where a clean, controlled hot-food display is the priority. It is a fixed-width, single-well unit, so sites requiring a longer continuous run of heated display, or those handling particularly high volumes across extended service windows, may find a wider or higher-capacity configuration better suited to their needs.

If you are at the planning stage and want to talk through cutout dimensions, heat output, or how this unit works alongside other drop-in sections, our team is glad to help before any countertop work begins.

The Kubus KCIW4HT is a drop-in refrigerated cold island well designed to sit flush within a prepared counter surface and provide chilled, illuminated display for self-service food and drink. Customers can access product from both sides of the unit, making it a practical choice for free-flow counter layouts where speed of service matters. The condensing unit is underslung beneath the counter and ventilated through grilles supplied with the unit, which keeps the installation profile clean at counter level.

The unit is rated for 24-hour continuous operation, which suits sites where the display needs to remain active through extended service periods or overnight. It runs on R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which carries a lower global warming potential than older refrigerant types and tends to draw less energy across a full operating year — a consideration worth factoring in when running a unit continuously. The eye-level digital temperature display gives staff a quick read on performance without disrupting service, and the lockable control panel prevents accidental or unauthorised adjustments during a busy period.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several details support efficient service:

• Modular removable deck plates make end-of-service cleaning straightforward
• Integrated condensate evaporator removes the need for a site drainage connection
• Toughened glass sneeze screens on both sides protect product while keeping access open
• Diffused gantry lighting presents product clearly without uneven hot spots
• Temperature-lockable controls reduce the risk of accidental setting changes

Installation requires a suitably prepared countertop opening. The unit ships with air inlet grilles, a lifting kit, and a 2-metre lead and plug top for a standard mains connection. At 136kg, this is a substantial unit — adequate handling resource at delivery and installation should be planned for. The underslung condensing unit requires clear airflow in the counter void beneath, so confirm your counter void dimensions against the unit specification before ordering. GN containers are not included.

This unit is well suited to café and restaurant self-service counters, hotel buffet setups, staff canteens, and food-to-go operations where customers serve directly from a chilled display. The 1525mm width accommodates four full GN positions, which suits a moderate range of chilled lines at service. Operators running higher-volume buffet operations or requiring a longer display run should consider whether a larger configuration would better match their throughput.

If you're planning a counter build-out or refurbishment, it's worth talking through how this unit would sit within your layout before committing to an order — our team is happy to work through the practical details with you.

The Kubus KCDL3HT is a drop-in refrigerated serve-over counter designed to sit flush within a prepared countertop surface. It holds chilled deli produce, prepared salads, sandwiches, and cold beverages at safe serving temperatures throughout the trading day, presenting product at eye level behind full-height toughened glass. The design is intended for assisted service, making it a practical choice for staffed counters where both presentation and consistent temperature control matter.

The unit is built to run continuously without shutdown between services, which suits environments where the counter is in near-constant use. The refrigeration system uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which runs efficiently and carries a lower environmental footprint than older refrigerant types. An integral condensate evaporator removes the need for a site drainage connection, which simplifies installation considerably. Recovery after loading fresh product is steady, and a digital temperature display at operator level allows staff to keep an eye on conditions without interrupting service.

Day-to-day operation is straightforward in a number of practical ways:

• Front glass tilts forward on a locking hinge for full cleaning access to the display well without tools
• Removable modular deck plates in the chilled well simplify deep cleaning between services
• Diffused gantry lighting illuminates product evenly without creating hot spots
• A lockable control panel prevents accidental temperature adjustment during service
• An optional chopping board over the rear shelf provides a local prep surface without additional equipment

The condensing unit is underslung and relies on air grilles supplied with the unit — these must be correctly fitted and kept clear at all times. Restricted airflow will affect both performance and longevity, so this is worth planning carefully during installation. The unit arrives with a 2m lead and plug top, so no hardwired connection is required, but the countertop cutout must be prepared to the correct dimensions beforehand. At 133kg, it requires appropriate handling on site; a lifting kit is included. It is not suitable for installation without a properly prepared countertop surround.

This unit suits cafés, hotel breakfast counters, sandwich bars, delicatessens, and staff restaurants where a staffed chilled display is needed at point of service. The three full 1/1 GN capacity handles a modest to mid-range service volume comfortably. For higher-volume operations or longer counter runs, it is worth considering a larger or multi-section alternative before committing to this model.

If you want to talk through whether this unit will work within your existing counter layout or service setup, our team is glad to help before you make a decision.

The Kubus KCCU2 is a drop-in ambient display unit designed to present cutlery and condiments at the point of service. Built from stainless steel and polished aluminium, it mounts directly into or onto a countertop and provides a structured, accessible display for self-service environments. Three inclined shelf levels accommodate full 1/1 GN containers, keeping contents angled towards the customer for comfortable reach. Diffused lighting beneath the top and mid shelves lifts visibility across the display without harsh glare, and a toughened glass shelf on top provides additional space for condiment bottles, packaged items, or point-of-sale material.

In busy service environments, a well-organised cutlery and condiment station reduces congestion at the counter and keeps the service area presentable throughout the day. The inclined GN arrangement lets staff restock quickly from behind without disrupting the queue, and the open-front layout keeps everything clearly visible and accessible for guests serving themselves.

Day-to-day operational advantages include:

• Inclined shelving keeps contents angled and accessible throughout service
• Diffused lighting improves display visibility without harsh spotlighting
• Toughened glass top shelf adds useful condiment or merchandising space
• Standard 1/1 GN containers simplify restocking and end-of-service cleaning
• Fixing plates and bolts supplied for secure, stable countertop installation

Installation is straightforward using the supplied fixing hardware, though it is worth confirming your counter construction can accept the fixing bolts before ordering. The lighting requires a standard mains connection, controlled by a switch on the end plate. At 27kg once fixed, the unit sits solidly in position, though counter depth and structural suitability should both be confirmed at the planning stage.

The KCCU2 is well suited to cafés, staff canteens, hotel buffet counters, and self-service operations where a clean, structured presentation of cutlery and condiments is part of the customer experience. For larger counter runs or very high-volume sites, it is worth considering whether a wider or higher-capacity configuration would better match throughput demands.

If you would like to discuss how this unit fits within your existing counter layout or a broader counter scheme, our team is glad to help you work through the options.

The Kubus KAMG4 is a counter-mounted ambient display gantry designed to present food and drink products at self-service stations. It sits directly on an existing countertop and accommodates up to four full-size GN containers across two toughened glass shelves, allowing customers to browse and serve themselves without requiring staff assistance at the counter. The unit is constructed from stainless steel and polished aluminium, and comes supplied with post fixing plates and bolts for secure attachment to the counter surface.

This type of gantry is most commonly found on deli counters, grab-and-go stations, and workplace restaurant serveries where ambient products — sandwiches, pastries, cold drinks, and confectionery — need to be displayed accessibly while remaining protected. The flat glass sneeze screen keeps product hygienic throughout service without obscuring the display, and the diffused integrated lighting draws the eye without creating hotspots or glare. The light switch is positioned at the end panel for straightforward control during and after service.

Key operational advantages include:

• Sneeze screen maintains product hygiene throughout self-service periods
• Diffused integrated lighting improves visibility and encourages impulse purchase
• Two-tier shelving increases product range without expanding the counter footprint
• Toughened glass shelves are easily removed for cleaning between services
• End-mounted light switch allows simple on/off control without reaching across the unit

Before ordering, it is worth assessing the available counter run carefully. The unit requires a countertop capable of supporting the loaded weight, and the post-fixing system means the surface will need drilling — something to plan for if the counter is being retrofitted rather than newly installed. GN containers are sold separately, so factor those into the setup if they are not already part of your operation.

The KAMG4 is well suited to medium to high-footfall self-service environments: workplace restaurants, cafeterias, food-to-go counters, and hospitality buffet stations. For lower-volume settings or smaller counters, a compact single-shelf option may be a better fit. For high-density display requirements, a wider or higher-capacity gantry is worth considering.

If you are planning a new counter layout or retrofitting an existing servery, it is worth a conversation before you commit — the team can help you work through what will fit and function well in your space.

The Kubus KAMG3 is a drop-in ambient display gantry designed to sit on top of a service counter and present food and packaged goods across multiple levels. It holds three full 1/1 GN positions across its width and features two toughened glass shelves, allowing customers to view and reach products without needing staff assistance. A flat glass sneeze screen runs along the front, and diffused internal lighting keeps displayed items clearly visible throughout service. Construction is polished aluminium and stainless steel, and the unit fixes to the countertop via the included post plates and bolts.

In self-service environments — cafés, staff restaurants, grab-and-go counters, and convenience-style operations — this type of gantry organises the counter, protects openly displayed product, and keeps goods visible from a customer approach angle. Because it operates at ambient temperature, there are no electrical connections, refrigerant circuits, or drainage requirements, which simplifies installation considerably and makes repositioning straightforward if the counter layout changes.

• Multi-level format encourages impulse purchase without requiring staff intervention
• Toughened glass shelves remove easily for cleaning between services
• Sneeze screen provides practical hygiene protection for open displays
• Diffused lighting presents product clearly without harsh hot spots
• No power or water connections needed — simple to install and reposition

Because this is an ambient unit, it is not suitable for anything requiring temperature control. It works best for packaged snacks, bakery items, confectionery, and ambient drinks. The countertop fixing is intended for a permanent installation, so counter depth, surface material, and load-bearing capacity should all be assessed before fitting — at 35kg, the counter needs to support that weight comfortably.

The KAMG3 suits cafés, sandwich bars, and staff catering facilities where a structured self-service display adds order to the counter without adding operational complexity. For wider counter runs or higher-volume operations, larger capacity models in the Kubus range may be worth considering. If refrigerated display is needed, a different product category would be more appropriate.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your counter layout or service format, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

The Kubus KAG4 is a worktop-mounted ambient display gantry designed for self-service food presentation. It sits over an existing counter run and holds four full 1/1 GN pans in a clean, accessible line — suitable for salads, cold starters, pastries, chilled beverages, and similar ambient items. It is important to be clear from the outset: this unit provides no active temperature control. It is a display and presentation solution for food held at ambient or pre-chilled temperatures, not a refrigerated or heated servery.

In busy self-service environments, the KAG4 performs reliably across full service periods. The flat glass sneeze screen runs the full length of the display, providing passive hygiene protection without obstructing customer access. Diffused overhead lighting lifts the visual appeal of displayed food without harsh shadows — a practical advantage in darker servery areas or where background lighting is limited. The light switch is positioned at the end of the unit for easy in-service use.

The stainless steel and aluminium construction wipes down quickly between services and holds its appearance well under regular use. Key operational advantages include:

• Sneeze screen provides hygiene protection across the full display run
• Diffused lighting improves food presentation without additional electrical work
• GN-compatible format integrates with standard kitchen prep and storage containers
• Post fixing plates and bolts included for secure, stable countertop mounting
• Clean linear layout supports consistent customer self-service flow

Installation uses the supplied fixing hardware onto an existing countertop. The lighting requires a standard socket connection — no specialist electrical work is needed. The unit spans 1500mm in width, so confirming available counter length before ordering is worthwhile. GN containers are not supplied with the unit.

The KAG4 is well suited to café serveries, hotel breakfast counters, staff restaurants, deli-style operations, and similar self-service environments where ambient food needs to be presented tidily and hygienically. For smaller counters or lower-volume operations, a two- or three-pan configuration may be a better fit. For larger self-service runs, a wider arrangement or multiple units may be worth considering.

If you have questions about counter compatibility, GN container sourcing, or whether this format suits your service style, the team is glad to help you work through it before you order.

The Kubus KAG3 is a worktop-mounted ambient display gantry designed for self-service and servery counters. It drops onto an existing counter surface and holds up to three full-size GN 1/1 containers in an open, accessible configuration. The polished stainless steel and aluminium construction gives a clean, professional finish suited to front-of-house servery settings, staff restaurants, and grab-and-go counters. GN containers are not included.

In a live service environment the KAG3 performs two practical functions at once. The flat glass sneeze screen maintains a hygienic barrier between customers and displayed food without obstructing visibility or access. The integrated diffused canopy lighting improves product presentation throughout the service period without the harsh glare that overhead spotlighting can create. The light switch is positioned at the end panel, keeping it accessible without reaching across the display.

Practical points worth noting before purchase:

• Flat glass sneeze screen provides a hygienic barrier during service
• Diffused canopy lighting gives even illumination with minimal glare
• Stainless steel and aluminium surfaces wipe down cleanly between services
• Post fixing plates and bolts included for secure countertop installation
• End-panel light switch keeps controls unobtrusive during service

Installation requires bolting the unit to the counter surface using the included fixing hardware, plus a standard socket for the lighting circuit. Before installation, it is worth confirming that the counter structure and depth are compatible with the fixing method. At 18kg, a two-person installation is sensible. The unit does not require any refrigeration or water connection.

The KAG3 is a practical choice for cafés, staff canteens, hospitality buffet counters, and grab-and-go operations needing a neat, hygienic ambient display. As a three-GN unit it suits moderate-capacity counters well; for longer or higher-volume displays, a wider model from the same range may be worth considering.

If you are working out how this fits within a wider counter layout or need to confirm suitability for your servery setup, the team is glad to help before you commit to an order.
