Novameta Ice Basin 600 for Professional Kitchens

This ice basin creates a chilled area on worktops without requiring electricity. Crushed or block ice is placed in the well beneath a perforated tray, drawing heat from food above to maintain serving temperatures for items like salads, seafood, and desserts. The tray keeps food separate from meltwater, ensuring it remains dry and crisp.

The basin is filled with ice, and the perforated tray is positioned over it. Food can be placed directly on the tray or in containers. As ice melts, water drains through the perforations into the well below, where it can be removed or allowed to exit via a weep hole at the back. The unit is portable and can be placed anywhere on the worktop or moved to a buffet line.

The Novameta Ice Basin 600 is a stainless-steel well with dimensions of 600 mm in length, 350 mm in width, and 350 mm in height. The structure is welded for durability and ease of cleaning. A removable perforated tray of the same material allows meltwater to drain away.

A weep hole at the rear prevents overflow by releasing water at the rate ice melts. The rim is reinforced for safety, and the corners are rounded to avoid sharp edges.

The 600 mm length fits standard worktop depths and can be positioned between under-counter units. The 350 mm width allows two basins to be placed side by side on a standard worktop, leaving room for plating. The height holds sufficient ice without spilling while remaining easy to access.

Cleaning involves removing the tray, emptying the well, and washing both parts with hot water and detergent. The stainless surfaces dry quickly and resist bacterial growth. The weep hole should be checked regularly to ensure it remains clear.
