JUKA CAPRI C-1 90/GR Heated Display Showcase

A heated display showcase keeps prepared dishes at serving temperature while presenting them to customers. The unit circulates warm air evenly around the interior, preventing hot and cold spots that can spoil food texture or safety. This method relies on a closed loop of heated air driven by a concealed fan, ensuring consistent warmth without drying the surface of the dishes. The process allows operators to hold plated meals, baked goods or buffet items ready for immediate sale, reducing last-minute reheating and waste.

The CAPRI C-1 90/GR is loaded from the front. Black exposition trays slide into position on adjustable runners, allowing the operator to organise dishes by type or temperature requirement. The rear Plexiglas shutter rolls up to provide access for restocking or cleaning, while the stainless steel worktop above offers a stable surface for plating or garnishing. A socket under the worktop powers small appliances such as label printers or warming lamps without occupying additional counter space.

The cabinet is constructed from galvanised steel for structural strength, with a stainless steel worktop that resists corrosion and simplifies daily wiping. The refrigerant R290 is used for the heating circuit, chosen for its efficiency in maintaining stable temperatures within the stated range. The adjustable thermostat allows the operator to set the showcase between 40 °C and 90 °C, accommodating everything from delicate pastries to hot entrées without risk of overcooking.

A footprint of 900 mm square and a height of 1200 mm allow the unit to fit beneath standard worktop overhangs or wall-mounted shelves. The 120 kg weight requires two people to move, and the design assumes a permanent position near a power outlet rather than frequent relocation. The temperature range of 40 °C to 90 °C opens processes such as holding pre-cooked meats, keeping sauces at serving viscosity, or displaying baked goods without condensation forming on the glazing.

Cleaning involves removing the black trays and wiping them with a damp cloth, while the interior walls and worktop are cleaned with a mild detergent solution. The Plexiglas shutter should be lifted and cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner to maintain visibility. The socket under the worktop should be checked periodically for debris to ensure safe operation of connected appliances.

The CAPRI C-1 90/GR is categorised under heated display equipment in the JUKA professional catering range.
