Neutral Distribution Table 800

The Neutral Distribution Table 800 mm is a versatile base element for creating larger-scale canteen distribution systems with an increased work surface depth. The wider 800 mm surface allows for the simultaneous placement of more GN dishes, serving utensils or additional equipment, which is especially valuable in canteens with high visitor flow during lunchtime. The neutral module connects with hot food display cases, salad bars and beverage distribution equipment, forming a complete integrated distribution point.

Advantages of a wider work surface

A 800 mm work surface provides a significantly larger total work area at the distribution point compared to more compact variants. The additional width allows staff to work more efficiently while serving multiple visitors simultaneously. A larger work surface reduces the risk of GN dishes shifting or falling during active use. In canteens with a wide food selection, the 800 mm module allows more food varieties to be displayed at once without additional distribution points during peak hours.

Compatibility with the GN dish system

The GN Gastronorm dish system is a standard that defines dish sizes in professional kitchens. GN 1/1 containers fit neatly into the 800 mm work surface side by side. GN racks or inserts are easily adaptable to a wider surface, ensuring an organised food display system. Using standardised GN dishes simplifies food transfer from the kitchen to the distribution point without additional reloading and time loss.

Integration into the distribution line

Neutral distribution tables 800 mm are designed with side mounts that allow modules to be mechanically connected in 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 flooring, ensuring a horizontal work surface. Multiple modules together form a complete distribution system with a uniform work surface height throughout the entire length of the point.

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 bacteria buildup 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. Regular disinfection maintains food safety standards in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Comparison with the 700 mm module

The choice between the Neutral Distribution Table 700 and the 800 mm module depends on the canteen’s space and specific needs. The 700 mm variant is more suitable for narrower spaces where maintaining minimal corridor width is a priority. The 800 mm table provides a larger work surface, which is appreciated in canteens with a wide food selection or high visitor flow. BHS advises on the optimal module choice for a specific canteen.

In school canteens

In school canteens with a large number of students, 800 mm neutral distribution tables help ensure efficient distribution during breaks. The wider surface allows staff to quickly replace empty GN dishes and replenish food without interrupting distribution. During busy lunchtimes, fast distribution capacity is a critical factor affecting the speed of serving students within a set time limit. The 800 mm module significantly improves lunchtime efficiency in school canteens.

In corporate cafeterias and large institutions

In corporate canteens during peak hours, fast and organised food distribution is a priority. 800 mm neutral tables with a larger work surface ensure that more food varieties are available simultaneously, reducing visitor waiting time. Corporate canteens, hospitals, retirement homes and other public catering facilities improve daily efficiency with properly dimensioned distribution modules.

Cost-effectiveness of the distribution system

Investing in quality distribution tables is a long-term investment in canteen efficiency. A well-organised distribution point reduces staff physical strain and speeds up the visitor service cycle during peak loads. Canteens that invest in quality distribution equipment can serve a larger number of visitors per unit of time, which directly impacts canteen revenue. A modular distribution system also provides the option to expand or rearrange the distribution point in the future. BHS helps canteens calculate the optimal distribution infrastructure investment.

Configuration planning

When planning the distribution line configuration, it is important to ensure sufficient corridor width for visitor flow. The minimum corridor width along the distribution point is 1000–1200 mm to ensure free movement even during peak loads. Neutral tables can be both starting and ending elements in the distribution line, as well as connecting segments between active distribution modules. BHS helps canteens develop the optimal distribution configuration based on space parameters.

Maintenance and service life

Stainless steel distribution tables with regular daily cleaning last for many years in intensive commercial use. Regular inspection of connections and legs ensures stability and safe use every working day. Timely prevention of any signs of corrosion or surface damage maintains hygiene standards and extends the equipment’s service life. BHS provides advice on distribution table maintenance.
