Alto-Shaam 100-CW Coldwall Drop-In Refrigerated Cold Food Well
The Alto‑Shaam 100‑CW Coldwall Drop‑In Refrigerated Cold Food Well is engineered to provide long‑lasting, reliable cold food holding for buffet lines, salad bars, chef tables, and refrigerated displays. Unlike traditional forced‑air systems that can dry out food, this unit uses cold wall conductive cooling to gently maintain temperature and moisture in chilled foods - keeping salads, fruits, desserts and other cold items appealing and safe for extended service periods.
Designed as a self‑contained drop‑in cold food well, the 100‑CW installs easily into fabricated countertops, carts or service stations without requiring plumbing or drain connections, maximizing usable undercounter space for storage or prep equipment. Built to NSF/ANSI Standard 7 to ensure safe cold food holding below 41 °F, this durable and efficient refrigerated well helps reduce food waste, lower costs and improve service quality in commercial kitchens and foodservice setups.
