Heat-Retaining Shelf for Food Service with Two Shelves Novameta BHS-LPK2-100/30/70

A heated upper shelf keeps plated dishes or prepped ingredients warm without reheating. The shelf surface is warmed by an internal element, spreading gentle heat evenly across its length. This method prevents hot spots and keeps food at serving temperature without drying or overcooking, essential for holding sauces, plated mains or buffet items during service. The shelf mounts above a double worktop, creating an extra heated tier. The operator places dishes directly on the shelf surface, sets the temperature to the desired holding level, and leaves them until needed. The low-profile design allows clear sight lines and easy access from the front, so staff can retrieve or replenish items without interrupting workflow. Constructed from stainless steel, the shelf has a smooth, seamless surface for hygiene and durability. The 1000 mm width matches standard double worktop units, fitting neatly into existing kitchen layouts. A uniform load capacity of 30 kg per shelf ensures safe distribution of plated dishes or bulk containers. The single temperature mode maintains the shelf at a steady +60 °C, suitable for holding hot food safely above the minimum legal requirement. The 0.6 kW power rating draws a modest load, compatible with standard kitchen circuits without overloading. Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each service. The seamless construction prevents dirt accumulation, and the low height allows easy access for thorough cleaning. The shelf slides out on full-extension runners so you can wipe the interior and heating elements without lifting the unit from the counter. The shelf is designed for the Novameta table double 1000-3 series, integrating with matching worktops and under-shelf units in professional kitchens.
