ROCAM Capricorno 3 GN1/1 Stainless Steel Bain Marie Thermic Trolley

A mobile bain marie thermic trolley keeps three full-size gastronorm containers at serving temperature without drying or scorching. The unit circulates hot water around the containers, transferring heat evenly through the walls of the well. Because water conducts heat more gently than air, the food stays moist and the temperature remains stable across the entire surface of each container. The immersion heaters sit directly in the water, raising its temperature quickly and maintaining it with minimal fluctuation once the set point is reached.

To use the trolley, fill the well with water up to the marked level, then fit the gastronorm containers into the three compartments. Set the mechanical thermostat to the desired temperature between +30 °C and +90 °C; the indicator light shows when the heaters are active. Once the water reaches the set temperature, the light cycles on and off to maintain it. The four non-marking bumpers protect worktops and walls, while the two braked castors lock the trolley in place during service. A lid-holder with a condensed-steam tray collector keeps lids organised and prevents drips onto the floor.

The trolley is built from AISI 304 stainless steel throughout, including the double-insulated well walls that reduce heat loss. A drain cock at the base allows quick emptying of the water without tilting the unit. The overall footprint is 1144 mm long, 673 mm wide and 875 mm high, giving a compact worktop profile while accommodating three full-size GN1/1 containers. The packed size is 135 mm by 92 mm by 115 mm high for transport.

The 1.5 kW power rating draws a steady load on a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, suitable for most professional kitchen ring mains. The 37 kg weight allows one person to move the trolley when empty, while the braked castors keep it secure during service. The mechanical thermostat provides straightforward temperature control without digital calibration, and the indicator light gives immediate feedback on heating status.

Optional dividers adapt the compartments for smaller containers: DIST/G for GN1/1 (530 mm) and DIST/M for GN1/2 (324 mm). A UK-type G plug is available as an additional option. Gastronorm containers are supplied separately on request.
