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

The Kubus 1175mm drop-in cold well is a refrigerated self-service display unit designed to sit flush within a fabricated or purpose-built service counter. It holds three full 1/1 GN pans and maintains a chilled temperature range suitable for food safety compliance in deli, food-to-go, and hospitality settings. Refrigeration is handled by an underslung condensing unit using R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, a low global-warming-potential gas that tends to run more economically than older refrigerant types. The air grille kit is supplied, so no remote refrigeration circuit is required.

Rated for continuous 24-hour operation, this unit is built to cope with sustained front-of-house service rather than occasional use. The stainless steel and aluminium construction handles the rigours of daily service well, and the flat toughened glass sneeze screen provides a practical hygiene barrier on the customer-facing side. An eye-level digital temperature display lets staff confirm food safety compliance without interrupting service, and the temperature-lockable control panel prevents accidental adjustments during a busy period.

Several design details reduce the day-to-day burden on kitchen and counter staff:

• Modular removable deck plates make cleaning between services straightforward
• Integral condensate evaporator removes the need for a site drain connection
• Diffused gantry lighting presents displayed products evenly without harsh hotspots
• Supplied with a 2m lead and plug top for a standard electrical connection

Installation requires a correctly dimensioned counter-top cut-out and sufficient clearance beneath the counter for the condensing unit and ventilation grilles. At 116kg, the unit is substantial and the counter structure will need to be built or assessed to take that load. GN containers are not included and should be ordered separately.

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 handles moderate service volumes comfortably. Operators running longer display runs or higher customer throughput may find a wider unit from the range more appropriate, while smaller or lower-volume installations may be better served by a more compact drop-in format.

If you are planning a counter build or retrofitting into an existing surface and want to talk through the cut-out dimensions, condensing unit clearance, or ventilation requirements before committing, the team is happy to work through the details with you.
