JUKA Showcase YORK 125/80 for Chilled Display

A chilled showcase keeps perishable food visible and safe at serving temperature without drying or freezing. Forced cooling circulates cold air evenly across every shelf, pulling heat out of the display while maintaining humidity. The expansion valve regulates refrigerant flow, adjusting cooling power to match the load inside. Automatic defrosting prevents ice build-up on the evaporator, ensuring consistent airflow and temperature without manual intervention. LED lighting illuminates the contents from above, casting an even glow that highlights colours and textures without adding heat to the interior.

The operator loads the shelves with pre-chilled items, arranging them within the 3.4 m² useful surface. Night blinds are drawn to reduce cooling loss when the shop is closed, cutting energy use without switching the unit off. The showcase maintains a temperature range of +2 to +8 °C, suitable for dairy, deli meats, prepared salads and chilled desserts. Adjustable shelves allow the height between rows to be set for taller items or stacked trays, organising the display to fit the menu.

The construction is powder-coated steel, forming a rigid frame that supports the weight of stock and shelves. Double glass sides, where fitted, consist of two panes with a mirrored steel interior, reflecting light back into the display while insulating the cold zone. Solid side panels are also powder-coated steel, matching the exterior finish. The 250 kg weight indicates a floor-standing unit that requires a stable worktop or plinth, not wall mounting or stacking.

Controls are minimal: the thermostat sets the target temperature within the +2 to +8 °C range, and the automatic defrosting programme runs without user input. The LED lighting switches on when the showcase is powered, providing continuous illumination during opening hours.

The 1250 mm width and 2000 mm height create a substantial footprint, occupying a full section of counter or floor space. The 775 mm depth allows items to be displayed in rows without overhang, keeping the front edge clear for customer access. Night blinds reduce overnight energy consumption, and the choice of door configuration—none, sliding or hinged—adapts the unit to different shop layouts and traffic patterns.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasives that could damage the powder-coated finish. Shelves are removed for thorough cleaning, and the night blinds are wiped down to prevent dust build-up. The forced cooling system requires no daily maintenance, as the automatic defrosting cycle keeps the evaporator clear.

Variants include models without doors for open display, sliding doors for high-traffic areas where space is limited, and hinged doors for controlled access and reduced cooling loss. Each configuration uses the same cooling system, lighting and shelving, ensuring consistent performance across the range.

The YORK 125/80 is categorised under refrigerated display equipment, positioned for medium to large retail and foodservice operations that require a visible, chilled display area.
