ROCAM OMNIA 5PC Heated Buffet Counter with Tempered Glass Top

A heated buffet counter keeps plated dishes at serving temperature without drying or overcooking. The ROCAM OMNIA 5PC uses a thermostatically controlled electric element beneath a tempered glass worktop. Heat radiates evenly through the glass, warming the plates and food above while the grooves on the surface mark the safe, heated zones. A digital thermostat lets the operator set the exact temperature from chilled storage to hot holding, so the same unit can hold chilled desserts in the morning and hot mains in the evening.

To use the counter, the operator first selects the desired temperature on the digital thermostat. Once the worktop reaches the set point, plates or GN containers are placed on the heated zones. The unit holds five GN1/1 gastronorm trays side by side, allowing a full service line of starters, mains and sides. The lower compartment, when fitted with the heated option, provides additional storage at the same temperature, accessed through doors in laminated wood, stainless steel or powder-coated finish. For self-service, the operator can add a tempered glass sneeze-guard in straight, inclined or fully enclosed configurations, while LED or halogen lighting highlights the dishes and keeps the counter visible in any ambient light.

The structure is stainless steel, available with laminated wood, stainless steel or powder-coated panels. Adjustable feet allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors, and the feet can be hidden behind a skirting board. The worktop is tempered glass, marked with grooves to show the heated areas. The lower compartment has its own doors and, when specified, a fan-assisted heating element that circulates warm air to prevent cold spots. Optional tray slides and dish holders fold down when not in use, freeing the worktop for plating or clearing.

A power rating of 2.5 kW indicates the load on the electrical circuit; additional lighting or heating options may increase this. The unit runs on a standard 230 V single-phase supply, the common circuit in professional kitchens. The external dimensions of 1821 mm wide, 747 mm deep and 910 mm high give the footprint on the floor, while the top measures 1667 mm by 593 mm, leaving room for sneeze-guards or serving utensils. The lower compartment is 1583 mm wide and 444 mm high, large enough for bulk storage or additional GN trays. An unladen weight of 85 kg means the unit can be moved by two people or on its castors, which are available in 125 mm steel or 75 mm polyamide with brakes on two.

Cleaning is straightforward: the tempered glass top wipes clean with a damp cloth, and the stainless steel structure resists stains and corrosion. The grooves on the worktop prevent spills from spreading, and the lower compartment doors keep dust and debris out of the storage area. Optional tray slides and dish holders are removable for thorough cleaning, and the laminated wood or powder-coated panels can be wiped down with a mild detergent. The digital thermostat is sealed against moisture, and the heating element is protected beneath the glass.

The OMNIA 5PC is configurable with a range of options: LED or halogen lighting, straight or inclined sneeze-guards, enclosed glass displays, foldable dish holders in wood or stainless steel, and removable tray slides for self-service or wall-mounted units. The lower compartment can be specified with or without heating, and the doors are available in laminated wood, stainless steel or powder-coated finish. The unit is finished in a choice of colours including birch, white sand, grey fog, elm, walnut, wenge, anthracite, veined white, veined black, grey, rose, saffron, lime and caribe.

This buffet counter is placed in the catalogue under heated counters and buffet stations, designed for professional catering where dishes must be held at temperature for service.
