Novameta Saladette Counter P212 1300 mm Worktop Refrigerator

A refrigerated worktop that keeps salad ingredients chilled while providing a stable surface for preparation and plating. The Novameta P212 saladette counter circulates cold air beneath the work surface, maintaining a consistent temperature across every drawer and compartment. This method prevents warm spots and ensures ingredients stay crisp and safe without freezing.

The operator loads the seven GN1/6 gastronorm drawers with prepared vegetables, dressings or garnishes, then sets the digital controller to the desired temperature between -5 °C and +8 °C. Once the unit reaches the set point, the refrigeration system cycles automatically, holding the interior climate while the chef works on the seamless stainless-steel top. A raised lip around the perimeter keeps items from rolling off, and a built-in opening allows waste or containers to be dropped directly into a bin below without interrupting the workflow.

Construction is fully stainless steel, including the exterior, work surface and refrigerated drawers. Adjustable legs allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors, and the overall height can be fine-tuned between 840 mm and 960 mm to match adjacent counters or hobs. The 1300 mm width provides ample linear space for multiple chefs to work side by side.

The digital control panel sets the operating temperature and displays the current reading. A 230 V, 2.8 A electrical supply powers the 0.293 kW compressor, which is sized for continuous duty in a busy kitchen. The 230 L refrigerated volume is divided into seven separate drawers, each holding a standard GN1/6 tray, so ingredients can be organised by type and accessed without cross-contamination.

The 105 kg weight ensures stability during use but still allows two staff to reposition the unit when the kitchen layout changes. The footprint of 1300 mm by 700 mm fits within standard worktop runs, leaving room for adjacent sinks, hobs or plating stations.

Cleaning follows from the stainless-steel construction: drawers and trays slide out for washing, the work surface is wiped down with sanitiser, and the refrigeration coils are vacuumed monthly to maintain efficiency. The adjustable legs are checked periodically to keep the unit level and prevent vibration.

The P212 is a single model with no variants; the stated specifications apply to every unit shipped.
