Heat-Retaining Shelf for Food Service with Two Shelves Novameta BHS-LPK2-190/30/70

This heated upper shelf is designed to keep plates, trays, and serving dishes warm above a 1900 mm worktop. It utilises an internal electric element to provide consistent, gentle heat through the shelf material, ensuring items remain warm without drying or overcooking them. The warmth is evenly distributed, avoiding the need for forced air circulation, which can affect food quality during holding periods.

The shelf is positioned above the worktop and connected to a power supply. The operator sets the temperature using a simple control, with a maximum setting of 60 °C. Once powered, the shelf gradually reaches and maintains the chosen temperature until switched off. Plates or trays are placed directly on the shelf surface, where they stay warm until required.

Constructed from a single aluminium shelf panel mounted on a stainless-steel frame, the unit measures 1900 mm in width, 300 mm in depth, and 700 mm in height. This design allows it to fit above standard worktop equipment without obstructing overhead storage. The shelf supports a uniform load of up to 30 kg, enabling even distribution of plates or trays without risk of sagging or instability.

Temperature control is managed via a rotary dial, allowing adjustments between ambient and 60 °C. There is no timer or digital display; the shelf maintains the selected temperature continuously while powered.

With a power rating of 1.2 kW, the shelf is intended for use in professional kitchens, typically requiring a dedicated electrical connection.

Maintenance involves wiping the aluminium shelf surface and stainless-steel frame with a damp cloth. No disassembly is necessary, and care should be taken to prevent water from entering the electrical components. The shelf is built for continuous use and requires no regular upkeep beyond keeping the surface clean and free of debris.

The product is supplied as a single unit for installation above a 1900 mm worktop. No additional variants or accessories are available for this model.
