Everything you want to know about the SiX line
Mar 3, 2023
The SiX line is a project of which we are particularly proud. Its high position in our offer is confirmed by numerous orders and an increasing number of satisfied customers. This is undoubtedly due to the highest quality and precision of manufacture, functionality and modern design. It is also not without significance that, thanks to its simple, timeless form, the devices from this line fit perfectly into any style, and the wide range of patterns and colours of finish allows you to create an attractive and harmonious interior design. Curious? Then get to know the SiX family!
Refrigerated counters
The first devices created in the SiX line are refrigerated counters. We produce them in several variants:
In the SiX range you will also find models with short front glass pane, both curved and straight, designed for self-service shopping. These are respectively:
The L-X and L-Xi models can be complemented by corner refrigerated counters, particularly useful when you want to maximise the space available in your premises and create a functional refrigeration lines.
We have developed both an external and an internal corner to give you as many options as possible for configuring your equipment settings. You can choose between models:

Fish counters
The FISH refrigerated counters are designed for the short-term storage and display of fresh fish and seafood, whether in small shops specialising in this type of product or at fish stands in large-scale markets. Four models of devices are available, which can be easily matched with other items in the SiX line:
The interior of the counters made of high-quality acid-resistant steel is resistant to acids from food and easy to clean. The large display space, 75 cm deep and 12 cm high, is equipped with special tray containers for arranging the product range with or without ice. The FISH counter can easily be combined in a line with other refrigerated counters. Due to the characteristic intensive smell of fish, it is then recommended to separate the counter display with a full partition.
Neutral cash counters
Refrigerated counters can be conveniently combined with neutral cash counters, which provide a functional space for customer service and plenty of storage space for shop essentials such as packaging, labelling machines, etc.
The models to choose from are:
IMPULS cash counters
The IMPULS counter was created to fully exploit the sales potential of the checkout area. It is designed to display small impulse products such as drinks, snacks or confectionery. This is made possible by a shelving unit on the customer side, with four height-adjustable shelves. On the service side, the counter offers a spacious countertop, which can be used to place a cash register, payment terminal and other accessories required in this area. The counter is available in three widths: 70, 100 and 130 cm.
Like other elements from the SiX line, the Impuls counter can be conveniently combined in sequences with other neutral furniture and set up with equipment from the series.
Heated serve over counter
More and more often, in addition to stalls selling meat, cold cuts, cheeses or delicatessen products, the retail space is also seeing the emergence of stalls with hot food available off-the-shelf. The SiX heated serve over counter was developed in response to the need to complement refrigerated lines with equipment that allows hot meals to be served.
Two models of these units are available:

Solid construction
All devices in the SiX line feature a strong, well thought-out construction, taking into account not only a spacious display but also ample storage space, hidden from the view of customers. In the case of the refrigerated counters, these are cooled storages that, depending on the size of the counter, can even completely replace a storage refrigerated cabinets. Neutral cash counters and heated serve over counters have generous shelves on the service side, where all the accessories needed by the staff can easily be accommodated. We use anodised aluminium profiles in deep black. They are extremely resistant to mechanical damage and are not subject to corrosion. The sides of the SiX range of cooling and heating units are made of ABS plastic in the inoXframe design, the housing insulation is made from environmentally friendly polyurethane foam and - in the case of the heating counter - additionally from mineral wool. All SiX counters can be fitted with stainless steel bumpers free of charge, and stainless steel front shelves for an extra charge. Please note that we only fit bumpers to painted steel metal fronts. This is not possible for furniture board fronts.
High-quality cooling and heating
Regardless of the function performed - cooling or heating - we have used high-quality technical solutions in the SiX range to ensure great comfort for the users. The refrigeration counters operate between +1°C and +10°C and are in climate class 3, which means that the ambient temperature in which they operate must be no higher than +25°C. Cooling is provided by an internal aggregate powered by environmentally friendly R-290 refrigerant with zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and a very low GWP (Global Warming Potential). Devices use dynamic cooling to ensure an even temperature distribution throughout the whole unit. The heating counters operate between +30°C and +90°C. A static heating system based on three independent heaters is used, so that if one of the heaters fails, the temperature can be maintained for some time. The temperature can be easily set using an analogue controller.
Convenience of use
In both the refrigerated and heated counters, we have installed gas springs, selected individually for each size of the device, ensuring easy opening and thus convenient access to the 75 cm deep exposition area. We have also made sure that components that require regular maintenance, such as the condenser (not apply to the heating counter), removable display base or no-threshold storage can be easily accessed without the use of tools. In addition we installed an independent front glass panes drying system in the refrigerated counters, equipped with dedicated fans to eliminate the accumulation of moisture and an automatic condensate evaporation system.
A look that impresses
Refrigeration devices should not only be functional and reliable, but also simply beautiful! When we created the SiX range, we were guided by this principle. We carefully selected materials and designed the shapes of all counters, with particular emphasis on details and precision of finishing. In addition, we have created the possibility of easy replacement of the front panel, which can be made of furniture board or powder-painted steel in any colour from the RAPA colour chart. This allows you to easily change the look of the devices yourself. We are also open to the realization of individual design projects, after prior agreement with our Customer Service Department. We have also made sure that the products in the devices are properly displayed by giving you a choice of LED lighting. You can opt for lighting designed for meat or dairy products.
Extensive arrangement possibilities
All elements of the SiX line can be combined in many interesting configurations, allowing for a very flexible and effective creation of retail and service spaces. With a range of sizes available, the devices can be easily adapted to premises of different sizes, even very small ones. Specific dimensions can be found on the individual product pages under "Technical data". In addition, the refrigeration devices - including fish counters - and, similarly, the heating devices, can be connected in lines, which in turn is ideal for large shops. By using cash counters as neutral connectors, devices with different functions, i.e. heating counters, standard refrigerated counters and fish counters, can be combined in one set. We are happy to advise on the set-up and selection of suitable devices and their sizes.
