Drip tray for bar Novameta Z-DTFB-100/17/2

A drip-tray sits beneath a bar worktop or undercounter unit to catch spills, condensation and drips from taps, glass-washing equipment or refrigerated displays. Instead of allowing liquid to pool on the floor or seep into cupboard interiors, the tray collects it in a shallow channel, making daily cleaning quicker and reducing slip hazards in busy service areas.

The tray is positioned directly under the source of drips, with its length spanning the full width of the bar or counter. Its low profile allows it to slide into place without interfering with existing shelving or equipment feet. Once in position, it remains static, requiring no power or moving parts; any liquid that falls into it stays contained until the operator removes and empties it.

To use the tray, the operator slides it into the gap beneath the bar worktop, ensuring the full length is covered. During service, any drips from taps, glass racks or refrigeration units collect in the tray. At the end of the shift, the tray is lifted out, emptied, wiped down and replaced. Its shallow depth prevents splashing while still holding enough liquid to avoid constant attention.

Constructed from stainless steel, the tray resists corrosion from water, cleaning chemicals and the acids in fruit juices or soft drinks. The material also withstands the frequent handling and abrasion that come with daily removal and cleaning.

The 1000 mm length matches standard bar counter widths, allowing it to cover the full underside of a single section without gaps. The 170 mm width provides enough surface area to catch drips from multiple sources, while the 20 mm height keeps the profile low enough to fit beneath most undercounter equipment.

Cleaning involves rinsing the tray under a tap or wiping it with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn deposits, a non-abrasive pad removes residue without damaging the stainless steel finish. The tray is designed to be removed and cleaned daily, preventing build-up that could harbour bacteria or produce odours.

This drip-tray is part of the Novameta bar equipment range, designed for use with their Bar 1000 series worktops and undercounter units.
