Tefcold CW2V 111 Ltr Drop-In Chilled Buffet Display Unit

The Tefcold CW2V is a drop-in refrigerated well designed to be built into a service counter, keeping cold foods — salads, cold meats, dressed dishes, dairy-based items — at safe display temperatures throughout a service period. With a 111-litre capacity, it is sized for buffet lines and cafeteria serveries where a meaningful range of chilled dishes needs to be presented and maintained simultaneously.

In a busy service environment, consistent temperature holding is more demanding than it might first appear. Each time a lid is opened, a pan is changed, or the ambient temperature rises during a lunch rush, the unit has to recover. The CW2V is built around stainless steel construction that handles the knocks and cleaning cycles of daily commercial use, and its refrigeration system is intended to maintain safe chilled conditions across a sustained service rather than just at start-up.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Keeps chilled foods within safe temperature ranges during continuous service
• Stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to clean between services
• Drop-in design integrates cleanly into fabricated or purpose-built counters
• Suitable for displaying a broad range of cold foods including salads, cooked meats, and dairy
• 111-litre well capacity supports a varied buffet layout without frequent replenishment

There are some important practical points to consider before purchase. This unit must be built into a counter — it is not a freestanding display and no counter is supplied. Adequate clearance around the condenser is essential; if airflow is restricted by cabinetry or adjacent equipment, cooling performance will be compromised. You will also need to ensure that a suitable sneeze screen or cover is in place for compliance with food hygiene requirements — this is the operator's responsibility and is not included. The unit will require a mains electrical connection, and the counter installation should account for drainage and any condensate management your kitchen layout requires.

This unit is well suited to hotels, workplace restaurants, school canteens, and café buffet counters where cold food display is a regular part of service. It is most effective where the counter infrastructure is already in place or being fabricated to receive a drop-in well. For higher-volume or multi-well installations, a larger-capacity unit may be more appropriate, and for smaller or simpler setups a more compact model may offer a better fit.
