Ugolini Arctic DX 12/1AA 12 Ltr Chilled Drink Dispenser
£593.00(£711.60 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Ugolini Arctic DX 12/1AA is a single-bowl countertop chilled drink dispenser designed to hold non-carbonated beverages at a consistent serving temperature throughout a service period. A magnetically operated submersible pump works alongside a stirring paddle to circulate the drink continuously, keeping the temperature even across the bowl and preventing warm pockets from forming near the surface. This circulation also keeps the product homogenous, which matters for anything containing fruit pulp, cordials, or added syrups that would otherwise settle or separate during service.
In practice, the value of a unit like this lies in its ability to present a chilled drink attractively while allowing rapid, self-serve dispensing without requiring repeated staff attention. That makes it a natural fit for hotel breakfast stations, café serveries, canteen counters, and events catering where the drink needs to look good and stay at temperature across an extended service.
From an operational standpoint, the design has been kept straightforward:
- Removable bowl and faucet allow thorough end-of-day cleaning without specialist tools
- The rubber tap is simple to operate and quick to dismantle for hygiene routines
- Stainless steel construction supports durability under regular commercial use
- Hermetically sealed compressor reduces long-term maintenance exposure
- Manual bowl-fill means no water line is needed, giving flexible placement options
Installation is uncomplicated. The unit sits on a countertop and requires only a standard electrical connection — there is no plumbing involved. That flexibility suits both permanent counters and temporary or event-based setups equally well.
The 12-litre single-bowl format is well suited to moderate service volumes where one drink option is being offered at a time. Sites with higher throughput, longer service periods, or a requirement to offer multiple beverages simultaneously may find a larger-capacity or multi-bowl configuration more appropriate for the demand they are expecting.
If you are weighing up whether this capacity and configuration suits your operation, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 12-litre single-bowl unit sufficient for busy service periods?
A 12-litre bowl works well for moderate service volumes where one drink option is being offered — a café servery, hotel breakfast station, or canteen counter at manageable throughput, for example. If you are running extended service periods, expecting high footfall, or need to offer more than one beverage simultaneously, it is worth considering a larger-capacity or multi-bowl model to avoid running short mid-service.
What are the installation requirements for this unit?
The Arctic DX 12/1AA is a countertop unit requiring only a standard electrical connection — there is no water line needed, as the bowl is filled manually. This makes placement straightforward and means it can be used equally well on a fixed counter or in a temporary event setup where plumbing access is not available.
Can this dispenser handle drinks with fruit pulp or added syrups?
Yes — the continuous circulation provided by the submersible pump and stirring paddle is specifically beneficial for beverages that contain pulp, cordial, or syrups, as it keeps the product evenly mixed and prevents settling or separation during service. It is designed for non-carbonated drinks only, so carbonated beverages are not suitable for this unit.
