IGLOO BASIA Neo 2.5 Cold Showcase for Dairy, Meat & Cheese Display

A refrigerated display case keeps perishable foods at a steady chill while they are shown to customers. The BASIA Neo 2.5 circulates cold air across the glass front and through the storage chamber, drawing heat away from dairy, sausages, meat and cheese. Static cooling distributes the chill evenly without a fan, so the temperature stays within the set range without drying the food or altering its texture. The refrigerant R290 absorbs heat as it evaporates inside the internal cooling aggregate, then releases that heat outside the unit, keeping the interior cool and the exterior at room temperature.

To use the showcase, the operator loads gastronorm containers into the storage chamber through the hinged back doors. The curved front glass is opened to arrange the display on the stainless-steel exposition area. The electronic temperature controller is set to the desired value between +1 °C and +10 °C, and the digital display shows the current reading. An analogue thermometer on the front panel gives a quick visual check. The LED lamp is switched on to illuminate the products, with a choice of white, confectionery or deep-pink lighting to suit the type of food. Automatic defrost cycles prevent ice build-up, and a condenser outlet directs meltwater to a container beneath the unit.

The body is constructed from white coated sheet metal with a side base flashing, while the front panel and base sheets can be matched to the kitchen's colour scheme using the IGLOO colour guide. Insulated plastic side walls and glass side panels are also available in different colours. The worktop and exposition area are made of stainless steel for durability and hygiene. Anodised aluminium profiles in gold or silver frame the glass, and a coloured bumper protects the front edge. Ecological polyurethane foam insulation reduces heat transfer and keeps the power consumption low.

The 230 V, 50 Hz supply plugs into a standard single-phase circuit, and the 7.5 kWh per 24 hours rating indicates the daily energy load. The temperature range of +1 °C to +10 °C is suitable for short-term storage of ready-to-sell items, ensuring they remain fresh without freezing. The overall footprint of 2580 mm long, 1155 mm wide and 1220 mm high, plus a 10 mm tolerance, fits into most retail or catering layouts. The weight of the unit determines how it is moved and positioned, while the static cooling system requires no additional ventilation space around the condenser.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel worktop and exposition area with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The curved front glass is cleaned with glass cleaner, and the hinged back doors are opened to access the storage chamber. The condenser outlet container is emptied regularly to prevent overflow. The LED lamp and electronic controller are kept dry, and the anodised aluminium profiles are wiped with a soft cloth to maintain their finish.

The BASIA Neo 2.5 is available with selectable colours for the side panels, front sheets, bumper and aluminium profiles, allowing customisation to match the kitchen's decor. The LED lamp colour can also be chosen to enhance the presentation of different food types.
