GEMM Refrigerated Table TAPN/13S for GN1/1 Containers

A refrigerated table keeps prepared ingredients chilled at serving height without a separate worktop. The evaporator coil circulates refrigerant through the cabinet, drawing heat from the interior and releasing it outside. A fan moves air across the coil and through the storage space, spreading the cold evenly so every shelf stays within the set range. The insulation layer slows heat transfer from the kitchen, reducing the compressor's workload and keeping energy use low.

The operator loads 60x40 cm gastronorm containers onto the seven pairs of adjustable runners, sets the temperature between 0 and 8 °C on the touch-sensitive panel, and leaves the automatic defrost cycle to prevent ice build-up. The static cooling system is helped by gentle air movement, so delicate items such as leafy salads or plated desserts are not dried out by a strong draught. The right-hand technical compartment gives access to the refrigeration unit without disturbing stored food.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel throughout, including the 40 mm high worktop that doubles as a sturdy edge for temporary storage. The 50 mm thick insulation layer runs between the inner and outer skins, maintaining temperature stability even in hot, humid kitchens up to 40 °C. Seven pairs of runners spaced at 75 mm intervals allow the shelves to be positioned at the exact height needed for each container.

A 2.8-inch digital touch panel displays the current temperature and lets the operator adjust the set point. The automatic defrost system uses heating elements to melt any frost on the evaporator, draining the water away without manual intervention. The refrigerant R134a is chosen for its balance of cooling performance and environmental safety.

The 270 L capacity holds up to six full-size GN1/1 containers, keeping them chilled at serving height. The 0.410 kW power rating matches a standard 230 V single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens. The 116 kg weight requires two people to move the unit safely, while the 1240 mm length and 770 mm depth fit into a standard work aisle without blocking traffic. The 860 mm overall height includes the worktop, placing the top shelf at 710 mm for comfortable access.

Cleaning is limited to the surfaces and components named: wipe the stainless steel interior, worktop and exterior with a mild detergent, remove the runners for thorough washing, and keep the technical compartment free of dust to ensure proper airflow. The automatic defrost system eliminates the need to scrape ice manually, but the drain line should be checked periodically for blockages.
