Which SB glass-canopy salad display pan row fits my sandwich, deli, bowl or restaurant service counter?

When does a countertop SB glass-canopy single-row salad display suit a sandwich, deli, bowl or restaurant service counter instead of a full salad prep workstation?

Choose an SB glass-canopy display when you need a chilled single row of ingredient pans on an existing service counter and staff already assemble orders nearby. The recorded configuration is countertop mounting, a glass cover over one pan row, zero shelves, static cooling, R290 refrigerant and a listed 2-12 C range. GN-1830SB holds eight 1/3 GN positions in an 1830 x 405 x 450 mm cabinet at 82 L; GN-2180SB holds ten positions in a 2180 x 405 x 450 mm cabinet at 102 L. A salad prep counter with cutting boards and lower storage is a different equipment family. If your workflow needs chopping space or under-counter storage as part of the same unit, inquire about salad prep separately rather than treating SB as a full workstation. Mark the counter bay first and keep the glass cover toward the customer or staff side your service plan requires.

How do I choose eight 1/3 GN positions on GN-1830SB versus ten on GN-2180SB from my real menu ingredient list?

List every ingredient that must stay in view during service in the order staff use them, then count distinct pan positions rather than converting litres into portions. Match eight core fillings or toppings to GN-1830SB (eight 1/3 GN positions, 82 L, 1830 x 405 x 450 mm). If the list needs ten visible positions or you must keep two seasonal extras in the same row, compare GN-2180SB (ten 1/3 GN positions, 102 L, 2180 x 405 x 450 mm). Litre capacity describes the cabinet; pan count and your containers decide fit. Send photographs and the outside dimensions of the pans or containers you already use, and ask JINYU which 1/3 GN sizes and depths fit the offered SB configuration. Carry one agreed pan count into the inquiry so drawings refer to a single shortlist.

How should I mark the 1830 x 405 mm or 2180 x 405 mm countertop footprint and the 450 mm overall height?

Measure and mark a rectangle on the service counter for the selected model: 1830 mm wide by 405 mm deep for GN-1830SB, or 2180 mm wide by 405 mm deep for GN-2180SB. Check that the 450 mm overall height fits under any shelf, sneeze guard or canopy above the counter. The 450 mm figure is the recorded overall cabinet height, not a lift opening and not a reach clearance. Do not invent millimetre clearances around the unit. Record adjacent walls, sinks, boards and pass shelves on the sketch and ask JINYU for installation and service clearances for the offered configuration. Note the staff standing position that reaches the pan row under the glass cover. Carry the same marked footprint into the inquiry so quotations and drawings refer to one agreed countertop rectangle.

How can staff reach pans under the glass cover without inventing clearance measurements?

Place the cabinet so staff can approach the pan row from the planned service side while the glass cover protects the chilled ingredients. Open and close the glass cover according to the offered configuration, and load or refill pans from that staff approach. Do not invent a millimetre reach clearance or claim that 450 mm is an opening height. The recorded overall size remains 1830 x 405 x 450 mm for GN-1830SB or 2180 x 405 x 450 mm for GN-2180SB. Mark that footprint on the counter plan, show the intended staff path, and ask JINYU for recommended installation and service clearances for the offered SB configuration. During quieter moments, replenish one pan at a time and close the cover so the ingredient row stays chilled behind glass. Record site constraints such as walls, shelves or adjacent equipment in the inquiry.

How should I map ingredients across the single pan row and plan replenishment without inventing pan depths?

Treat the single row of 1/3 GN positions as the only recorded display layout: eight positions on GN-1830SB or ten on GN-2180SB, with zero shelves. Arrange ingredients in service order across that row and keep a printed map at the station so refill pans return to the same positions. Never convert the 82 L or 102 L capacity into portion counts; litre volume describes cabinet capacity, while pan size and fill height determine how much of each ingredient fits. Do not invent pan depth millimetres. Send the outside dimensions and photographs of your existing pans with the inquiry and ask JINYU which pan sizes and depths fit the offered unit and which containers are included. Keep reserve containers on a separate list so the visible row stays limited to the recorded eight or ten positions.

How do static cooling, the 2-12 C range and R290 relate to the ingredient plan without inventing airflow gaps?

Treat static cooling, the listed 2-12 C range and R290 refrigerant as catalog facts for the SB series rather than a licence to invent airflow clearances. Keep pan faces and the glass cover clear of obstruction so staff can see labels and customers can see the ingredient row when your plan allows. Do not invent a gap measurement in millimetres around the cabinet. Group high-turn ingredients where staff reach them first across the eight or ten 1/3 GN positions, and keep lids or covers you already use consistent with the glass canopy plan you send to JINYU. Rated power remains nameplate only - 165 W for GN-1830SB and 183 W for GN-2180SB - and must not be treated as fan wattage or daily energy use. Ask JINYU for loading guidance for the offered SB configuration and include your pan sizes in the brief.

Which electrical documents should I request for the 220-240V/50Hz configuration and the selected nameplate?

Scope the electrical request to the selected SB model at the catalog 220-240V/50Hz configuration: 165 W nameplate for GN-1830SB or 183 W nameplate for GN-2180SB. Send your site supply details with the inquiry and ask JINYU for the model electrical datasheet, wiring or installation diagram, and any certification documents that apply to that exact configuration. Rated power is nameplate only; do not treat those watts as daily energy consumption or invent an energy-use figure. Do not assume every JINYU display shares one voltage - confirm the offered SB configuration against the supply at the service counter. Include the destination and the marked 1830 x 405 x 450 mm or 2180 x 405 x 450 mm layout with the request so the documents can be checked against the planned installation.

What should I include in a shortlist inquiry to JINYU for an SB pan-row layout?

Name GN-1830SB or GN-2180SB and state that you are planning a countertop single-row glass-canopy layout with the recorded footprint of 1830 x 405 x 450 mm or 2180 x 405 x 450 mm. Attach the marked countertop rectangle, note the staff approach to the pan row under the glass cover, and list the eight or ten menu ingredients that need 1/3 GN positions. Give the site electrical supply and ask for the matching datasheet covering 220-240V/50Hz and the selected nameplate (165 W or 183 W), plus installation and service clearance guidance for the offered configuration. Request pan compatibility details for your containers and clarification that the layout is a single pan row with zero shelves. Ask JINYU / Shaanxi Jinyu Kitchenware Co., Ltd. (陕西金宇厨具有限公司) to confirm the offered configuration against your layout before you finalise the shortlist.
