FAQ
How much display space is there for showing pastries, mignon and cakes?
The 100 cm depth is the defining feature of the Drop-in P100 and lets you display pastries to their best advantage while making the most of the available space. The display surface is made of height-adjustable stainless steel plates, so products can be arranged on several levels, and it comes in 100, 135, 175 and 210 cm lengths.
What temperature does it hold for fresh cream- and dairy-based pastries?
The Drop-in P100 operates in temperature class 3 (H2 = -1°C/+10°C), a range that includes the roughly +4°C band suited to fresh cream- and dairy-based pastries. Refrigeration is fan-assisted, with the evaporator set in the base of the well for even cold-air distribution; climate class 3 refers to 25°C ambient temperature and 60% relative humidity.
How does the refrigeration system work and where is the condensing unit located?
Refrigeration is fan-assisted, and the condensing unit can be either built into the cabinet or remotely located. With a built-in unit it runs on a capillary tube with low-impact R290 gas; with a remote unit it works through an expansion valve. The evaporator sits in the base of the well, and motors can be internal or remote to suit the installation.
What finishes and materials can be chosen to customise the display case?
The frame is in AISI 304 stainless steel and anodised aluminium with a silver finish, with a single-piece well insulated with injected polyurethane. The front panel is available in anodised aluminium or lacquered in RAL colours, while the side panels are lacquered in RAL. The matte black finish elegantly enhances the colours of the displayed pastries; powder coating is available as an option.
What options are there for the glass and for protecting the display?
The glass superstructure is welded and tempered and comes in 250 and 420 mm heights. Heated glass is available as an option, with a heating element under the aluminium channel and a deflector. On the operator side a closure can be added with sliding Plexiglas panels, either inclined or right-angled, to shield the products during service.
How is the display surface lit to show the products at their best?
Lighting comes from a high-output LED ceiling light fitted as standard, with a 4000 K colour temperature that renders the colours of the pastries naturally. An optional intermediate shelf is also available, useful for arranging the display over several levels and increasing the surface visible to the customer.
How can refrigerated stock be stored beneath the counter?
A version with an under-counter refrigerated storage compartment (H60) is available, adding cold storage directly below the display case. The compartment has doors and comes in 2-, 3- or 4-door configurations (2P/3P/4P) depending on the counter length; it includes a copper-tube evaporator, an expansion-valve system and a remote condensing unit.
What footprint and dimensions should be planned for installation?
The Drop-in P100 is 120 or 137 cm high and 100 cm deep. Lengths are 100, 135, 175 and 210 cm without side panels; with side panels the figures become 104, 139, 179 and 215 cm. These measurements make it easy to plan the wall footprint and the service space in advance.
How does it fit in with the counter and the patisserie interior?
The drop-in format lets the display case be recessed into the counter top, keeping products at worktop height and within easy reach. Its minimal styling matches every Frigomeccanica counter and blends into the existing interior. It therefore suits both new layouts and the extension of a counter already installed in a patisserie.
