Mobile plate dispenser Neumarker L00-70280

A warm dispenser keeps plates at serving temperature without drying or overheating them. A low-wattage heating element beneath the base radiates gentle warmth upwards, while the insulated cabinet traps the heat around the plates. The even, indirect heat prevents hot spots and keeps the plates ready for service without altering their finish or risking burns to staff.

To use the dispenser, slide the acrylic door open, stack the plates inside, and close the door. Set the desired temperature between 30 °C and 85 °C using the control on the front panel. The unit maintains the chosen setting automatically, so plates remain warm until needed. When service is over, switch off the power and allow the interior to cool before cleaning.

The cabinet is built from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitising. The front door is made of acrylic glass, which slides smoothly and closes automatically to retain heat. Inside, the circular chamber measures 330 mm in diameter and 440 mm in height, sized to hold approximately 30 to 40 plates of 320 mm diameter.

The temperature control allows the dispenser to suit different types of service. Lower settings around 30 °C keep plates warm without affecting delicate sauces or garnishes, while higher settings up to 85 °C ensure plates remain hot enough for roasted or baked dishes. The 0.6 kW power rating means the unit draws a modest load, suitable for standard kitchen circuits without overloading them.

The 230 V voltage matches the UK mains supply, so the dispenser plugs into a standard socket without needing a dedicated circuit. The 22 kg weight allows one person to move the unit with a trolley, while the 460 x 460 mm footprint fits neatly on a worktop or counter, leaving space for other equipment.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and clean the acrylic door with a non-abrasive cleaner to avoid scratches. The interior should be wiped down after each use to remove any food debris or moisture that could affect the next batch of plates.
