Overview

Roband BM16A Hot Bain Marie – 6 x 1/2 GN Single Row

The Roband BM16A is an Australian-made hot bain marie designed to hold prepared foods at safe serving temperature across busy commercial kitchens, cafeterias, canteens and buffet service areas. Built from 304 stainless steel with long-life Dura-life stainless steel elements, it accommodates a single row of six 1/2 GN pans up to 100 mm deep and operates in either wet or dry mode for maximum flexibility.

The unit can be dropped into an existing counter or mounted on an optional Roband stainless steel trolley with tubular frame, making it adaptable to a range of service layouts. Six 1/2 size 100 mm deep pans and lids are included, and the energy regulator control together with a thermometer display gives operators precise, easy management of holding temperatures between 60 and 85°C.
