JUKA MAGNUM 1440 mm Confectionery Showcase

A confectionery showcase keeps delicate items visible while maintaining their temperature. The unit circulates conditioned air behind a sealed glass enclosure, creating a stable micro-climate that preserves texture and appearance. In refrigerated mode, a compressor-driven cycle removes heat from the interior, slowing spoilage and extending shelf life. The hot version uses concealed heating elements to keep pastries warm without drying them, while the neutral model simply shields products from room draughts and contaminants. LED strips illuminate the contents evenly, drawing attention without adding heat that could alter the food's condition.

Loading the showcase begins by lifting the front glass panel on its counterbalanced hinge. Adjustable glass shelves slide out on tray runners, allowing quick rearrangement for different product heights. The bottom deck accepts standard gastronorm trays, making it easy to transfer bulk items from preparation to display. Once the shelves are stocked, the glass is lowered and the unit sealed. Sliding double-glazed rear doors give staff access without disturbing the front view, and the doors close automatically to maintain the internal climate. Wheels at each corner allow the showcase to be repositioned for cleaning or layout changes, then locked in place for stability.

The structure combines a stainless-steel interior liner with a wooden outer casing, chosen for its insulating properties and aesthetic warmth. Front and side glass panels feature serigraphy in either silver or black, framing the display area and reducing glare. An automatic water-evaporation system prevents condensation build-up on the glass, ensuring a clear view at all times.

Three versions are available: refrigerated (CH), hot (GR – 140 model only) and neutral (NE). The refrigerated and neutral models include LED lighting; the hot version omits it to avoid overheating.

The 1440 mm width provides ample frontage for high-volume displays, while the 250 kg weight indicates a substantial unit that requires a dedicated floor space and a sturdy worktop or plinth. The footprint of 1440 by 850 mm dictates the floor area the showcase will occupy, leaving room for circulation around it in a busy kitchen or retail environment.

Cleaning involves lifting the front glass and removing the shelves. The stainless-steel interior wipes clean with standard sanitising solutions, and the wooden casing can be dusted or polished as needed. The automatic evaporation system reduces manual de-misting, but the rear doors should be opened periodically to check for any moisture accumulation behind the trays.
