Stalgast Self-Service Distribution Showcase 1440 mm

A self-service distribution showcase keeps chilled food visible and accessible to customers while maintaining safe holding temperatures. The unit circulates cooled air behind a glass front, creating an even temperature zone that prevents warm spots and condensation. Adjustable shelves allow the operator to organise different items without blocking airflow, ensuring every portion stays within the set range. This method preserves food quality without freezing, making it suitable for ready-to-eat dishes, salads, desserts and pre-packaged meals that need to stay fresh but not icy.

The operator loads the shelves from the rear, arranging items so they face forward for easy customer selection. The temperature is set between +6 °C and +12 °C, allowing flexibility for different food types while staying within food safety guidelines. Once powered, the unit maintains the chosen temperature automatically, requiring only periodic checks to confirm the display remains within range. Customers serve themselves directly from the front, reducing staff intervention during peak service times.

The showcase is constructed with a stainless steel exterior and interior, providing durability and easy cleaning in a busy catering environment. The front glass panel is double-glazed to reduce heat transfer and minimise condensation, ensuring clear visibility of the displayed items. The height is adjustable between 810 mm and 1415 mm, allowing the unit to fit under standard worktops or stand at counter height as needed.

Controls consist of a simple thermostat dial that sets the temperature within the +6 °C to +12 °C range. The 230 V, 50 Hz power requirement means the unit plugs into a standard single-phase circuit, making it compatible with most professional kitchen electrical setups. The 0.55 kW power rating indicates a modest load on the supply, suitable for continuous operation without overloading the circuit.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a mild detergent solution, while the glass front can be cleaned with a non-abrasive glass cleaner to maintain visibility. Shelves and interior panels are removable for thorough cleaning, preventing build-up of food debris and ensuring hygiene standards are met.

The 1440 mm width provides ample display space for a variety of items, allowing operators to organise multiple dishes side by side without crowding. The 620 mm depth ensures items are within easy reach for customers while maintaining a compact footprint in the serving area.

This model is categorised as a self-service distribution showcase, designed for front-of-house use where customers select their own portions.
