Novameta Saladette Counter P101 – 940 mm Refrigerated Prep Table

A refrigerated worktop keeps salad ingredients and prepared components chilled while they are chopped, assembled and plated. The Novameta Saladette Counter P101 combines a spacious stainless-steel work surface with an integrated refrigeration system beneath. A compressor circulates refrigerant through evaporator coils inside the insulated cabinet, drawing heat out of the interior and expelling it at the rear. The result is a stable low temperature that slows bacterial growth and preserves crispness without freezing the produce.

The operator loads the raised top compartment with salad leaves, garnishes or other chilled items, keeping them within arm's reach. Below the work surface, the refrigerated cabinet holds up to five GN1/6 gastronorm containers, allowing bulk ingredients to be stored at the same temperature. A circular opening in the worktop can be used for waste disposal or to hold a removable container. Adjustable legs level the unit on uneven floors, and the entire construction is stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

To begin service, the operator sets the desired temperature on the digital control panel. The refrigeration system starts automatically, maintaining the cabinet between -5 °C and +8 °C. Ingredients are placed in the top compartment or in the GN1/6 containers below. During preparation, the work surface remains clear for chopping boards and utensils. When service ends, the top compartment and containers are removed for cleaning, and the interior is wiped down.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel, including the work surface, doors and interior. Adjustable legs allow the unit to be levelled on any floor. The refrigeration system is rated at 0.293 kW, drawing 2.8 A from a 230 V single-phase supply. The overall dimensions are 940 mm wide, 700 mm deep and 840–960 mm high, giving a footprint that fits standard worktop layouts. The internal volume is 130 L, and the unit weighs 75 kg, making it stable yet manoeuvrable on castors or with a pallet truck.

The digital control panel sets the cabinet temperature within the -5 °C to +8 °C range. A 230 V supply is required, matching the standard circuit in professional kitchens. The 0.293 kW power rating indicates the load on the circuit, while the 75 kg weight shows that the unit can be moved with a trolley but is not portable by hand. The 940 mm width allows it to sit between other worktops or under wall cupboards, and the 130 L volume provides enough space for a full service without overcrowding.

Cleaning involves removing the top compartment and GN1/6 containers, then wiping the work surface and interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The adjustable legs should be checked periodically for stability, and the refrigeration system's condenser coils at the rear should be kept free of dust to maintain efficiency.

The P101 is available in a single configuration, compatible with GN1/6 gastronorm containers. It is classified as a refrigerated saladette counter in the Novameta professional catering range.
