Neutral distribution table Novameta Z-EPC-PLV-140/70/90

A neutral serving module keeps prepared dishes at ambient temperature while maintaining an organised workflow in a professional kitchen. Unlike heated or refrigerated units, it provides open shelving that allows staff to access plated food, buffet items or bulk containers without temperature control constraints. The design ensures dishes remain visible and within reach during service, reducing handling time and supporting a smooth flow from preparation to presentation.

The module consists of sturdy shelves supported by a frame, each capable of holding up to 120 kg when weight is evenly distributed. Operators load plates, trays or gastronorm containers directly onto the shelves, arranging them in the sequence needed for service. During peak periods, the open layout allows multiple staff members to retrieve items simultaneously, preventing bottlenecks at the pass or buffet station. The absence of doors or covers means no additional steps are required to access food, which is particularly useful in high-volume environments such as banqueting, event catering or self-service restaurants.

Construction is based on a 1400 mm wide, 700 mm deep and 900 mm high frame, providing a substantial footprint that fits standard kitchen worktop depths while offering ample shelf space. The dimensions allow the module to be positioned against a wall or integrated into a larger serving counter, depending on the kitchen layout. Each shelf is positioned at a height that balances accessibility with storage capacity, ensuring staff can reach items without excessive bending or stretching.

The 120 kg per shelf capacity indicates the module is built to support heavy loads, such as large trays of plated mains, bulk containers of sides or stacked gastronorm pans. This specification reflects the need for stability in a busy service environment, where multiple dishes may be placed on a single shelf. The uniform load requirement ensures the frame remains level and secure, preventing tipping or structural stress during use.

Cleaning involves wiping down shelves and the frame after each service to remove food debris and spills. The open design allows easy access to all surfaces, reducing the time needed for daily upkeep. Regular checks of shelf alignment and frame stability help maintain safety and functionality over time.

The module is categorised under neutral serving equipment, suitable for ambient food display and workflow organisation in professional catering settings.
