UNIS COOL Columbia 600 Small Confectionery Showcase

A ventilated confectionery showcase keeps delicate pastries, cakes and desserts at a steady cool temperature while displaying them in clear view. The Columbia 600 Small circulates chilled air evenly around the cabinet, preventing warm spots and condensation that can spoil the appearance or texture of iced goods. The cooling system pulls heat from the interior and expels it at the rear, maintaining the set temperature without freezing the products or drying them out.

To use the showcase, position it on a level worktop or floor, plug it into a 230 V single-phase supply and switch on. The electronic controller on the front panel allows the operator to set the desired temperature between +2 °C and +6 °C. Once the cabinet has reached the target temperature, load the three adjustable stainless-steel shelves with confectionery. Each shelf can be tilted or levelled to suit different product heights, and price holders clip onto the front edge. The side panels are double-glazed and can be swapped for one of three shapes to match the shop's decor. LED lighting mounted on the top rail illuminates the contents from above, drawing attention to colours and textures.

The cabinet is built from metal sheets in black or white, with a fully open front that gives customers an unobstructed view. Four wheels fitted to the base allow the unit to be moved for cleaning or reorganisation. Inside, the cooling system uses the refrigerant R404a and runs an automatic defrost cycle to keep the evaporator free of ice. The electronic control unit displays the current temperature and locks to prevent accidental changes.

A power rating of 0.55 kW indicates the load the unit places on the electrical circuit. The operating temperature range of +2 °C to +6 °C is chosen to keep confectionery fresh without freezing, suitable for cream-filled pastries, mousses and decorated cakes. The footprint of 600 mm by 660 mm fits into a compact counter space, while the height of 1350 mm allows the shelves to be viewed at eye level. A weight of 135 kg means the unit can be rolled into position by two people but is stable once in place.

Cleaning involves wiping the metal exterior and glass panels with a damp cloth, removing the shelves to wash them separately, and vacuuming the condenser coil at the rear to maintain airflow. The automatic defrost cycle eliminates the need to manually defrost the evaporator. The unit is available in black or white finishes.

The Columbia 600 Small is listed in the bakery and café refrigeration section of the catalogue.
