Lotus BMT-66EMX Single-Phase Bain Marie for GN Containers

A bain marie keeps prepared food at serving temperature without drying or burning. It circulates warm water around gastronorm containers, transferring gentle, even heat to the contents. The water bath prevents hot spots and maintains moisture, making it suitable for sauces, soups and delicate dishes that must stay ready for service over long periods.

The operator places a GN 1/1 container and two GN 1/4 containers into the 150 mm deep moulded tank, fills the tank with water to the marked level, and switches the unit on. The thermostat regulates the water temperature, keeping it steady while the food remains covered and ready to serve. A front tap allows quick drainage without moving the unit.

The unit is fabricated from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 grade stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin polish finish. The 1 mm thick worktop has rounded edges, chromed details and a rear splashback. Waterproof IPX5-rated knobs protect the controls from moisture.

A 3.1 kW heating element draws a steady load on a 230 V single-phase circuit, typical of professional kitchen supplies. The 600 mm width and depth fit standard worktop spaces, while the 280 mm height allows comfortable access. The 23 kg weight permits repositioning by two staff members without specialist equipment.

Cleaning involves draining the tank, wiping the stainless steel surfaces and removing the front control panel to access serviceable parts. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, and the fixing system secures it in place during service.

The BMT-66EMX is designed for GN 1/1 and GN 1/4 containers with a 150 mm depth.
