JUKA Showcase RYGA 135/80 Chilled Display Cabinet

A chilled display cabinet keeps prepared food, chilled desserts and bottled drinks at a steady temperature while presenting them to customers. The unit draws in warm air, passes it over an evaporator coil cooled by R290 refrigerant, and circulates the chilled air across the shelves. Forced cooling ensures an even temperature throughout the cabinet, preventing hot spots that could spoil food or cause condensation on the glass.

The operator loads the shelves from the front, arranging items so that the chilled air can flow freely between them. The top LED lighting illuminates the contents without adding heat, making colours vivid and labels easy to read. Once loaded, the cabinet maintains the set temperature automatically, and the automatic water evaporation system collects and removes condensation without manual intervention.

The cabinet is built on a powder-coated steel frame with hard sides for durability in a busy kitchen. Five rows of adjustable shelves allow the display to be reorganised for different products or seasonal promotions. The unit stands on castors for easy repositioning, though its 370 kg weight requires care when moving it across thresholds or uneven floors.

Controls are simple: a thermostat sets the temperature between +2 and +8 °C, covering the safe storage range for chilled food and drinks. The LED lighting is controlled by a separate switch, allowing it to be turned off during cleaning or when the cabinet is not in use.

The 1350 mm width and 2000 mm height provide a large display area without taking up excessive floor space, while the 3.28 m² useful surface allows for a high volume of stock. The 30 mm adjustment in height accounts for levelling on uneven floors.

Cleaning involves wiping down the shelves and interior surfaces with a mild detergent, ensuring no residue is left that could affect food safety. The forced cooling system requires periodic checks to ensure the evaporator coil remains free of dust and debris, which could reduce efficiency. The automatic water evaporation system eliminates the need for manual draining, but the collection tray should be checked regularly to prevent overflow.

Two versions are available: one with hinged doors and one with sliding doors, allowing the cabinet to fit into different kitchen layouts. The choice of door type does not affect the cooling performance or the useful surface area.

The catalogue places this model in the professional refrigeration section, under chilled display cabinets for food service.
