Neutral distribution table Novameta Z-EPC-PLV-180/70/90

A neutral serving module provides a stable, unheated work surface for plating, garnishing and holding prepared dishes before service. It does not generate heat or cold; its role is to organise the final stages of food presentation without altering temperature. The extended worktop creates a continuous run for multiple operators, reducing congestion during peak service periods.

The unit stands at a standard worktop height, allowing seamless integration with adjacent hobs, fryers and refrigerated counters. Shelves beneath the work surface offer additional storage for plates, utensils or mise en place, keeping essential items within arm's reach. The neutral construction means it can be positioned anywhere in the kitchen without requiring ventilation or power beyond a standard electrical connection for any internal lighting or timers.

To use the module, operators place prepared ingredients or plated dishes directly onto the worktop. Shelves are loaded with service items up to the stated capacity, distributed evenly to maintain stability. The flat surface allows trays to slide smoothly, and the absence of heat or refrigeration means no preheating or cooling cycles are needed before service begins.

The module is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, ease of cleaning and compliance with food safety standards. The material withstands frequent wiping, sanitising and exposure to moisture without degrading, ensuring a hygienic surface throughout service.

The stated size of 1800 mm in length provides a substantial work area for multiple dishes, while the 700 mm depth allows comfortable reach across the surface. The 900 mm height matches standard worktop levels, ensuring ergonomic use alongside other equipment. The 120 kg per shelf capacity indicates the unit can support heavy loads, such as stacked plates or bulk ingredients, without risk of structural failure.

Cleaning involves wiping the worktop and shelves with a sanitising solution after each service. Stainless steel surfaces can be scrubbed with non-abrasive pads to remove stubborn residues, and the absence of electrical components simplifies maintenance. Shelves should be unloaded and cleaned separately to prevent cross-contamination.

The module is categorised as neutral serving equipment, distinguishing it from heated or refrigerated units. It is designed for integration into larger serving lines or as a standalone workstation in professional kitchens.
