Heat-retaining shelf for food service Novameta BHS-LPK1-170/30/40

This heated upper shelf is designed to keep plated dishes or bulk containers at serving temperature. An internal electric element warms the surface evenly, eliminating cold spots and preventing food from drying out or overcooking.

Trays, plates, or gastronorm containers can be placed directly on the shelf, provided the weight is evenly distributed to stay within the 30 kg limit. Once activated, the shelf reaches and maintains the set temperature without requiring additional adjustments or timers.

Made from stainless steel, the shelf fits above a standard 1700 mm worktable, providing a heated worktop without taking up extra floor space. The 400 mm height allows clearance for stacked plates or taller containers, while the 300 mm depth accommodates standard catering trays.

With a 1.2 kW power rating, the shelf requires a dedicated electrical connection in a commercial kitchen. The maximum temperature of +60 °C ensures food remains safely above the danger zone while avoiding dehydration or further cooking, making it suitable for holding rather than reheating.

Cleaning is simple: the stainless steel surface can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each use. The design is straightforward, with no moving parts or hidden areas that could trap debris. This model is a single unit with no variants or additional accessories available.

The shelf is classified as heated holding equipment, offering a practical solution for maintaining food temperature in professional kitchens.
