IGLOO Salad Bar GASTROLINE 2500 mm for Self-Service Display

A refrigerated salad bar keeps fresh produce chilled while presenting it to customers in a self-service format. The GASTROLINE 2500 mm model uses a ventilated cooling system that circulates cold air evenly across every shelf and container. This dynamic cooling prevents warm spots and maintains a consistent temperature throughout the unit, preserving texture and flavour without freezing the food. An internal cooling unit, insulated with ecological polyurethane foam, draws heat away and expels it through an automatic condenser. The system defrosts on its own, melting any ice build-up without manual intervention, and evaporates the water so no tray or drain is needed.

To use the salad bar, the operator loads the storage chamber through a hinged rear door and arranges produce in the GN containers or on the adjustable shelf. The granite worktop provides a stable surface for additional bowls or utensils. Once the unit is plugged into a 230 V supply, the electronic regulator is set to the desired temperature between +2 °C and +8 °C. A digital display shows the current reading, while an alarm sounds if the condenser becomes clogged or the fan stops. Daylight LED lighting in the upper cabin illuminates the display, and the straight front glass keeps the view unobstructed.

The outer casing is black coated steel, and the front panel is wooden melamine with a choice of finishes: stainless steel or mirror strips in various colours. A white coated steel storage chamber houses the adjustable shelf, and the entire frame is prepared to accept standard GN containers. The worktop is 30 mm thick granite in granite grey, and the glass top allows customers to see the produce clearly.

A power rating of 0.412 kW indicates the load on the electrical circuit, suitable for a standard 230 V single-phase supply found in most professional kitchens. The temperature range of +2 °C to +8 °C is designed for chilled produce that must stay above freezing but below the danger zone for bacterial growth. The 2500 mm length provides ample display space for multiple containers, while the 800 mm depth fits within a standard worktop footprint. The height of 1250 mm allows customers to reach the top shelf comfortably, and the 726 L volume offers sufficient storage for bulk quantities of salad and fruit.

Cleaning involves wiping the granite worktop and glass surfaces with a damp cloth, while the hinged rear door allows access to the storage chamber for deeper cleaning. The adjustable shelf can be removed, and the GN containers are dishwasher-safe. The automatic defrost and condenser evaporation reduce maintenance, but the condenser should be checked periodically for dust accumulation to ensure efficient operation.

The GASTROLINE 2500 mm salad bar is available with different front panel finishes: stainless steel or mirror strips in various colours. It is categorised under refrigerated display units in the IGLOO professional catering equipment range.
