Overview

Roband BM26A Hot Bain Marie 12 x 1/2 GN Pans, Double Row

The Roband BM26A is an Australian-made commercial hot bain marie configured in a double row layout to accommodate 12 x 1/2 gastronorm pans up to 100mm deep. Constructed from 304 stainless steel and powered at 2,700W, it maintains food at safe serving temperatures between 60 and 85°C using long-life Dura-life stainless steel elements controlled by an energy regulator, making it a robust solution for cafes, canteens, buffets and institutional catering operations.

The BM26A can be dropped into an existing counter or paired with a separately available Roband stainless steel trolley for freestanding service. It operates in both wet and dry modes, offers flexible gastronorm pan combinations up to 100mm deep, and includes a thermometer display for at-a-glance temperature monitoring. A safety lock ball valve drain and removable cross bars simplify cleaning, while the unit ships complete with 12 x 1/2 size 100mm deep gastronorm pans and lids.
