Neutral distribution table Novameta Z-EPC-PLV-330/70/90

A neutral serving module provides a continuous stainless steel worktop where hot and cold dishes are plated, garnished and held at safe temperatures before service. The unit stands between the kitchen line and the dining area, acting as a final check-point for portion control, presentation and temperature compliance. Its solid surface resists heat, moisture and impact, while the open undershelf or cupboard space stores serving utensils, plates and backup ingredients within arm's reach.

The module does not generate or regulate temperature itself; it relies on the operator to place hot or cold inserts, chafing dishes, or refrigerated drawers beneath the worktop. This neutrality allows the same unit to support breakfast buffets, lunch service and evening functions without reconfiguration. Shelves are spaced to hold gastronorm pans, hotel pans or plated dishes in standardised racks, ensuring that each item is accessible and visible.

To use the module, the operator first clears the worktop and checks that the undershelf is free of obstructions. Hot inserts or refrigerated units are positioned beneath the worktop and connected to their power or coolant supplies. Plates, utensils and garnishes are laid out on the worktop, and the first batch of dishes is transferred from the kitchen. As service progresses, the operator replenishes dishes, rotates stock and monitors temperatures using separate probes or built-in sensors where fitted. After service, the worktop is wiped down, inserts are removed, and the undershelf is cleared of any spillage or debris.

Construction is stainless steel throughout, giving a smooth, non-porous surface that resists corrosion and complies with food-safety standards. The 3300 mm length creates a single uninterrupted run, eliminating gaps where spills or debris could collect. A loading limit of 120 kg per shelf allows the unit to support heavy gastronorm pans, stacked plates or bulk ingredients without sagging or distortion.

The footprint of 3300 mm by 700 mm fits standard kitchen aisles and can be joined to other modules to form extended serving lines. A height of 900 mm matches most worktop heights in professional kitchens, allowing seamless integration with adjacent prep tables, hobs and sinks. No controls are fitted; the module is neutral by design and relies on external appliances for temperature management.

Cleaning is straightforward: the stainless steel surface is wiped with a damp cloth and sanitiser after each service. Shelves and undershelves are removed if present, washed separately and dried before reassembly. The absence of electrical or refrigeration components simplifies maintenance and reduces the risk of cross-contamination from hidden crevices.

The Novameta 3300-7 is a single configuration; no variants are listed. It is categorised as a neutral serving module in professional catering catalogues, typically placed between hot and cold holding equipment in a serving line layout.
