FAGOR RWC-601 Wine Refrigerator for Professional Storage

This type of appliance relies on a sealed cooling system that circulates chilled air evenly throughout the cabinet, preventing hot spots and ensuring consistent storage. The refrigerant absorbs heat from inside the unit and releases it outside, while an insulated cabinet minimises external temperature influence. Off-cycle defrosting eliminates frost build-up without manual intervention, keeping the interior dry and stable for long-term storage.

The operator loads bottles onto the wooden grids, which allow air to circulate freely around each bottle. An electronic control panel with a digital display sets the desired temperature range, typically between +4 °C and +18 °C, accommodating both white and red wines. The forced-air cooling system distributes cold air continuously, maintaining uniform conditions across all shelves. LED lighting illuminates the interior horizontally, improving visibility without generating heat that could affect stored wine. Double-glazed doors with a UV filter reduce external light exposure while providing a clear view of the contents.

The exterior is constructed from black-coated galvanised steel, while the interior uses hygienic thermoformed plastic with integrated shelf guides. High-density polyurethane insulation, 45 mm thick and free of CFCs, enhances thermal efficiency by reducing cold air loss. The unit stands on a solid base, with a weight of 201 kg indicating the need for stable flooring and careful positioning during installation.

Controls include an intuitive electronic system with an energy-saving function, allowing the operator to monitor and adjust storage conditions without opening the door. The temperature range of +4 °C to +18 °C supports standard wine storage and serving requirements, while the 220-240 V voltage ensures compatibility with standard UK electrical circuits. The 0.584 kW cooling power reflects the unit's capacity to maintain low temperatures even in ambient conditions classified under climate class 4, which accounts for warmer environments.

Cleaning involves wiping down the wooden grids and plastic interior with a damp cloth, while the exterior can be maintained with a mild detergent. The refrigerant R600a is a hydrocarbon-based coolant with low environmental impact, commonly used in modern refrigeration systems. The unit is supplied with eight shelves as standard, each designed to hold bottles securely while allowing air to flow between them.

The FAGOR RWC-601 is categorised as professional refrigeration equipment, suitable for restaurants, hotels, bars, and retail wine shops where precise temperature control and presentation are essential.
