Neutral Distribution Table 700

The Neutral Distribution Table 700 mm is a versatile base element in forming standard canteen distribution lines. The 700 mm depth offers an optimal compromise between work surface width and distribution zone compactness, allowing sufficient space for customer flow corridors. The neutral module serves as a connecting element between hot food counters, salad bars, and other active distribution modules.

700 mm as a standard solution

The 700 mm depth work surface is the most popular choice for standard canteen distribution lines. This size is compact enough to leave space for customer walkways at the distribution point, yet wide enough for convenient placement of GN trays or plates. Most typical canteen distribution lines are built on the basis of 700 mm depth modules.

Compatibility with the GN tray system

The GN Gastronorm tray system is a standard that defines tray sizes in professional kitchens. GN 1/1 containers fit neatly into the 700 mm work surface, providing an organized food display system. GN racks or inserts are adaptable to the 700 mm surface, allowing for a structured distribution offering. The use of standardized GN trays facilitates food transfer from the kitchen to the distribution point.

Integration in the distribution line

Neutral distribution tables 700 mm are designed with side mounts that allow mechanical connection of modules into one continuous distribution line. The connection point is smooth, not creating an obstacle for product movement along the work surface. Adjustable legs compensate for uneven floor coverings, ensuring a horizontal work surface. Several modules together form a full-fledged distribution system.

Hygiene and HACCP compliance

Stainless steel AISI 304 or AISI 430 meets food safety requirements for distribution equipment. A smooth work surface without deep grooves or seams prevents bacterial accumulation and facilitates disinfection with cleaning agents designed for the food industry. Daily cleaning of the distribution table after each shift is a mandatory element of the HACCP protocol.

Comparison with the 800 mm module

The choice between 700 mm and the Neutral Distribution Table 800 mm depends on the canteen space parameters. The 700 mm option is more suitable for narrower spaces where every centimetre matters to maintain a sufficiently wide customer corridor. The 800 mm table provides a larger work surface for larger canteens with a wider range of food. BHS advises on the optimal module choice for a specific canteen.

In school canteens

In school canteens with a large number of students, 700 mm neutral distribution tables help ensure efficient distribution during breaks. The compact size allows maintaining a wide customer corridor, which is important for safe and efficient student movement along the distribution point. A wider work surface than smaller variants provides convenient placement of GN trays. The 700 mm module is the most common distribution table solution in school canteens.

In company and public institution canteens

In company cafeterias, university canteens, hospitals, and other public catering establishments, 700 mm distribution tables are a standard solution. During peak hours, these canteens serve a large number of customers, and a compact distribution line with 700 mm tables allows efficient organization of distribution in limited space. Stainless steel surfaces are easy to disinfect, which is important for public catering establishments.

Distribution zone ergonomics

Proper distribution zone ergonomics improves both staff and customer experience. The 700 mm depth ensures a comfortable work surface height for staff while not exceeding the allowable distribution zone width. The minimum customer corridor width of 900 mm ensures free movement even during busy peak times. BHS helps canteens develop an ergonomically correct distribution zone configuration.

Maintenance and service life

Stainless steel distribution tables with regular daily cleaning serve for many years in intensive commercial use. Regular inspection of connections and legs ensures stability and safe use. Timely prevention of any corrosion signs maintains hygiene standards and extends equipment service life. BHS provides advice on distribution table maintenance.

Distribution flow optimization

A well-organized distribution line with 700 mm neutral tables improves customer flow efficiency in the canteen. Properly placed distribution elements with an optimal corridor width reduce queue formation and customer waiting time. In canteens with short but intensive peak times, distribution system efficiency directly affects customer satisfaction. 700 mm depth tables provide an efficient distribution zone without excessive space occupation in the corridor.

Distribution table material selection

Professional distribution tables are made from stainless steel AISI 304 or AISI 430, which is the recognized standard material for food distribution equipment. Stainless steel withstands moisture, steam, and the effects of cleaning chemicals without corrosion or damage. The steel surface retains its hygienic properties for years of intensive use. A quality stainless steel distribution table is a long-term investment in canteen infrastructure.
