Heat-Retaining Shelf for Food Service with Two Shelves Novameta BHS-LPK22-150/30/70

This heated shelf maintains plated food and service plates at consistent warmth without drying or overheating. The Novameta LPK22 1500 features infrared bulbs positioned above each shelf. Infrared heat travels directly to the plates, avoiding the inefficiency of warming the surrounding air. This approach delivers uniform heat across the shelf, eliminating cold spots and preventing dehydration caused by hot air circulation.

Assembly is straightforward on any stable work surface. Connect the unit to a 230 V single-phase power source. Adjust the temperature control up to +60 °C. Once the shelf reaches the desired temperature, distribute plates or plated food evenly, ensuring the total weight does not exceed 30 kg per shelf. The infrared bulbs will sustain the set temperature until the food is served.

Constructed with a stainless-steel frame and shelves, the LPK22 1500 includes eight 500 W infrared bulbs and thermal insulation to minimise heat loss. The dimensions are 1500 mm wide, 300 mm deep, and 700 mm high, accommodating standard worktop depths and allowing for stacked plates.

A single control adjusts the temperature from ambient up to +60 °C, ensuring food remains at safe serving temperatures without risk of overcooking.

The 230 V voltage aligns with standard single-phase supplies in commercial kitchens. The 30 kg maximum load per shelf maintains stability and prevents sagging. The 1500 mm width offers space for multiple plates side by side, while the 300 mm depth fits standard plate sizes. The 700 mm height permits stacking of plates.

For cleaning, wipe the stainless-steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure the infrared bulbs are switched off and cooled before cleaning. Regular checks of the bulbs and reflectors help maintain even heat distribution.

The LPK22 1500 features two independent shelves, each with its own infrared bulbs and temperature control, allowing different foods to be kept at separate temperatures if required.

Part of the Novameta professional catering range, this shelf is designed for heated holding applications.
