Overview

Bonvue BM17TC Angled Countertop Wet and Dry Bain Marie

The Bonvue BM17TC is a professional angled countertop bain marie designed for front-of-house food service in cafes, canteens, restaurants, buffets, and catering operations. Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel with a tubular frame, it accommodates 5x 1/1 GN pans or a double row of 1/2 GN pans up to 100mm deep, and switches seamlessly between wet and dry operating modes to suit a wide variety of menu items from soups and sauces to roasts and vegetables.

An 8mm tempered glass angled cover provides a hygienic customer-facing barrier while maximising food visibility, and the warm white overhead lighting with a stainless steel cover and separate switch elevates food presentation on the servery counter. The analogue temperature control with a reach-indication light gives operators straightforward, reliable management of holding temperatures across the full range of +35°C to +85°C, while the rear tempered 5mm sliding glass door allows easy staff access for pan changes and service.

Key Benefits

• Dual wet and dry operating modes allow the same unit to hold soups, sauces, and casseroles in wet mode or roasted meats and baked items in dry mode, reducing the equipment footprint needed.
• Warm white overhead lighting with a dedicated switch enhances the visual appeal of displayed food, supporting upselling and customer engagement at the point of service.
• Analogue temperature control spanning +35°C to +85°C gives staff straightforward adjustment to match food safety requirements for different menu items.
• The safety lock ball valve drain at the rear makes emptying the water tank quick and controlled, simplifying end-of-service cleaning when running in wet mode.
• An included pan divider adds flexibility to pan configuration, allowing different food items to be portioned and displayed within the same unit.
• The rear tempered 5mm sliding glass door allows staff rapid access to pans without disrupting the customer-facing display or losing significant heat.
• 304-grade stainless steel construction throughout ensures durability in high-demand commercial environments and supports straightforward sanitation.
• An optional matching trolley (BMT series) is available, making the unit portable for buffet setups or flexible floor layouts.
• Registering the unit within 14 days of invoice activates an extended warranty of 2 years parts and labour followed by a further 2 years parts only, providing long-term peace of mind.
