Roband BM1A Countertop Bain Marie – 1/2 Size 100mm Pan

The Roband BM1A is a compact countertop bain marie constructed from 304 stainless steel and designed to hold soups, sauces and prepared foods at safe serving temperatures throughout a busy service period. Operating at 670W on a standard 240V/50Hz single-phase supply, it offers a temperature range of 60–85°C controlled via an energy regulator, making it a practical choice for cafes, canteens, buffets and catering operations of all sizes.

Part of Roband's comprehensive countertop bain marie range, the BM1A is one of four available configurations, allowing operators to choose a unit that suits their exact pan layout and counter space. The double skin tank supports both wet and dry operation, and the unit ships with one 1/2 size GN 100mm pan and lid included, so it is ready for immediate use. Designed and manufactured in Australia, the BM1A is backed by Roband's trusted support network.
