JUKA Showcase VARNA 60/80 DUZ for Chilled Display

A refrigerated showcase keeps chilled food visible while maintaining safe temperatures. A compressor circulates refrigerant through coils behind the interior panels, pulling heat from the cabinet and releasing it outside. The cooled air settles at the bottom and rises as it warms, creating a gentle circulation that keeps every shelf at the set temperature without drying the product. Because the cabinet is sealed and insulated, the compressor cycles less often than in an open display, saving energy and keeping humidity higher so baked goods and deli items stay fresh longer.

The operator loads the shelves with pre-chilled items, arranges them for visibility, and closes the hinged double-glass door. The temperature is set once between +4 and +10 °C and left; no further adjustment is needed. LED lighting on the top and vertical sides switches on automatically when the door opens, illuminating the contents without adding heat. At closing time the night blind is pulled down over the glass to reduce cooling loss and protect the contents from ambient light.

The cabinet is built from powder-coated steel on the exterior and mirror-finish stainless steel inside. The powder coating resists scratches and corrosion, while the mirror interior reflects light and makes cleaning easier. Five rows of shelves adjust in height to fit different product heights, and the night blind rolls up neatly when not in use.

The controls consist of a thermostat that sets the temperature within the +4 to +10 °C range. The LED lighting operates automatically when the door is opened, so no separate switch is required.

A footprint of 600 mm width, 780 mm depth and 2000 mm height fits standard worktop heights and allows the unit to stand against a wall or back-to-back with another showcase. The 1.45 m² useful surface provides enough space for a full service counter of chilled items without crowding. A weight of 190 kg means the unit is moved on a trolley or pallet jack, not lifted by hand.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior mirror steel with a damp cloth and mild detergent, removing the shelves to wash them separately, and dusting the exterior powder-coated surfaces. The night blind should be wiped down weekly to keep it free of dust and fingerprints.

The VARNA 60/80 DUZ is a single-door model in the 600 mm width. The same construction is available in wider versions for larger counters.

The showcase is catalogued under refrigerated display units for professional catering.
