JUKA HAWANA 1080 mm Refrigerated Meat Showcase

A refrigerated showcase keeps meat products chilled while displaying them to customers. A compressor circulates refrigerant through an evaporator coil inside the unit. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the storage chamber, lowering its temperature. Gravity-cooled models rely on natural air circulation, where cool air sinks and warmer air rises, creating a gentle flow. Forced-cooled models use a fan to push air across the evaporator, distributing cold air more evenly and reaching lower temperatures.

The operator loads meat products onto the stainless steel shelves inside the storage chamber. The curved front glass allows clear visibility while maintaining the internal temperature. A heater under the worktop and front glass prevents condensation, keeping the glass clear. The evaporator, fitted with its own heater, stops ice from forming in the corners. The temperature is set using the control panel, with two ranges available: +2 to +8 °C for gravity cooling or 0 to +6 °C for forced cooling. The showcase maintains the chosen temperature automatically once set.

The HAWANA 1080 mm showcase is built with a powder-coated steel front and ABS sides. A chrome bumper protects the base, while the stainless steel worktop provides a durable surface for preparation or additional storage. The storage chamber is stainless steel, except for the corners, ensuring easy cleaning and resistance to corrosion. A socket is included for connecting additional equipment.

The temperature range determines which meat products can be safely stored. Gravity cooling, with its slightly higher range, suits products that do not require very low temperatures, such as cured meats or pre-packaged items. Forced cooling, with its lower range, is better for fresh meat that needs to stay closer to freezing without actually freezing. The 120 kg weight means the unit is heavy enough to remain stable but may require two people to move it into position. The 1080 mm width, 1150 mm depth and 1250 mm height give a footprint that fits standard worktop layouts while providing ample display space.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel worktop and storage chamber with a mild detergent. The curved glass should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth to avoid scratches. The evaporator heater prevents ice build-up, but the storage chamber should be checked regularly for any moisture or debris. The ABS sides and powder-coated steel front can be wiped with a damp cloth.

Two versions are available: gravity-cooled (G) and forced-cooled (W). Both use R290 refrigerant, a hydrocarbon with low environmental impact.
