Why this prep counter earns its place
The FDB5 is Lincat's smallest Seal food display bar, a low-profile countertop unit built to hold chilled ingredients in view and within reach of front-of-house or servery staff. It's sized for 5 x 1/3 GN gastronorm containers at 100mm depth, making it a compact option for a sandwich counter, salad bar or condiment station rather than a full prep-counter installation. The glass lid that covers the display isn't supplied with the unit, so it needs to be ordered separately to complete the setup.
Refrigeration runs at 3°C to 7°C, rated for ambient conditions up to 25°C and 60% relative humidity — a realistic spec for a busy front-of-house environment rather than a back-of-house chiller. Cooling comes from both the well base and the sides of the unit, which Lincat design in specifically to keep temperature even along the full length of the bar rather than dropping off at the ends. A digital display gives precise thermostatic readout and control rather than a dial guess, and the whole unit runs on R134a refrigerant at 230V, drawing a modest 175W.
Construction is fully welded stainless steel, keeping the unit hygienic and easy to clean down — a sensible choice for anything holding open food product. Gross weight is 24kg, light enough to reposition on a servery line without specialist handling. Lincat backs the FDB5 with a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
