Table without Shelf

A roller table without shelf is the simplest roller table configuration with a roller transport surface and a completely open undercarriage without storage elements. This configuration is the easiest to clean and provides maximum access to mobile equipment placed in the under-table space. In HoReCa kitchens, the no-shelf version is suitable for situations where cleaning simplicity and the use of mobile equipment are more important than storage capacity.

Advantages of the open undercarriage in a roller table

The main advantage of a roller table without shelf is the completely free under-table space, which allows mobile equipment to be placed, removed or moved under the table without obstacles. Tray trolleys can move freely under the table, ensuring a continuous flow of trays to the dishwasher inlet or from its outlet. The open undercarriage also makes it easy to clean the space under the table, reducing the risk of bacterial growth. BHS helps assess whether this configuration meets the specific needs of a kitchen.

Cleaning simplicity and hygiene

A roller table without shelf is the easiest to clean of all roller table configurations. Cleaning under the table is quick and thorough, as there are no storage surfaces where food residues or moisture could accumulate. The reduced number of horizontal surfaces lowers the risk of bacterial growth in the humid dishwashing area. The stainless steel surface and rollers are disinfected with standard food industry agents after each shift in accordance with HACCP requirements.

HACCP compliance for the no-shelf configuration

A stainless steel roller table without shelf fully complies with HACCP hygiene requirements set by food safety regulations. The steel surface does not absorb bacteria or moisture and is easy to disinfect. The open undercarriage also reduces the risk of bacterial accumulation, as there are no horizontal shelf surfaces where food residues could collect. Compliance with HACCP requirements in the dishwashing area is a mandatory requirement for all HoReCa businesses.

Comparison with the shelf version

When choosing between a table without shelf and Table with Shelf, it is important to assess whether storage space at the workstation is necessary. A table with shelf provides tray storage directly at the roller surface but complicates the use of mobile equipment and cleaning. A table without shelf is optimal if tray storage will be organised with separate shelves or trolleys. BHS helps choose the right configuration.

Suitability for both sides of the dishwashing machine

A roller table without shelf is suitable for both pre-washing and post-washing positions. On the pre-washing side, the open undercarriage allows tray trolleys to quickly bring dirty dishes directly to the dishwasher inlet. On the post-washing side, the rollers ensure easy movement of clean trays to the sorting or storage area. In both positions, the no-shelf configuration maintains free under-table space and simple cleaning.

Integration of mobile equipment

A roller table without shelf is ideal for kitchens where tray trolleys are an integral part of the dish transport system. The trolley can be wheeled directly under the table and out, ensuring a direct connection between the roller table and the tray transport system. Such an integrated system reduces the number of tray transfers and speeds up the dish circulation cycle during peak periods. BHS helps plan the integration of mobile equipment into the roller table system.

Stainless steel durability

Stainless steel is the optimal material for roller tables operating in humid, hot dishwashing environments. The steel rollers and table frame withstand intensive daily use without corrosion or deformation. Long-term use without degradation is the main advantage of stainless steel — the investment pays off with years of reliable service. BHS offers high-quality roller tables without shelf to the HoReCa market.

Efficient tray flow with a roller table without shelf

A roller table without shelf ensures a continuous flow of trays without crossing elements. Staff can quickly push trays along the rollers both to the dishwasher inlet and from its outlet to the sorting area. The open undercarriage allows tray trolleys to move freely under the table, complementing the roller transport system with mobile equipment. Such an integrated tray flow system is optimal for high-capacity dishwashing areas.

Maintenance and cleaning

Daily maintenance of a roller table without shelf is simpler than for shelf versions, as there are no storage surfaces to clean in addition to the table and roller surfaces. Cleaning is quick and thorough — a disinfectant solution is applied to the roller and table surfaces, which are easily accessible from both sides. The roller axles are disinfected with a cloth, ensuring no dirt accumulates. BHS provides information on proper maintenance procedures.

Space planning for a roller table without shelf

The placement of a roller table without shelf should be planned according to the dishwasher inlet or outlet direction and staff movement paths. Sufficient aisle space should be ensured both next to the table and under it for free movement of tray trolleys. Proper placement ensures optimal tray flow direction and reduces movement conflicts between staff and equipment. BHS helps plan the layout of the dishwashing area with roller tables without shelf.
