Neutral distribution table Novameta Z-EPC-PLV-80/70/90

A neutral serving module provides a stable, unheated work surface for organising plated dishes, trays or containers before service. It does not generate or regulate temperature; instead, it offers a clean, level platform where kitchen staff can arrange food without risk of spillage or uneven placement. The flat surface allows for uniform layout, supporting consistent portioning and presentation across multiple servings. Shelves or worktops are typically positioned at a comfortable working height, reducing strain during repetitive tasks such as plating or assembling components for a meal service.

The operator loads the shelves with trays, plates or gastronorm containers, ensuring even distribution to stay within the weight limit. Items are placed directly on the surface, which is designed to remain neutral—neither hot nor cold—so food retains its intended temperature until it is collected for service. The module does not require power, making it suitable for areas where electrical supply is limited or where a passive unit is preferred for flexibility in kitchen layout.

Constructed from stainless steel, the unit resists corrosion and is easy to sanitise between services. The dimensions of 800 mm wide, 700 mm deep and 900 mm high provide a compact footprint while allowing sufficient space for multiple items to be arranged side by side. Each shelf supports up to 120 kg when weight is evenly distributed, enabling the storage of heavy containers or bulk servings without risk of deformation.

The module is designed for integration into a larger serving line or as a standalone unit in a self-service or buffet setup. Its neutral function means it can be positioned between heated or refrigerated units without affecting their performance, allowing for a continuous workflow from preparation to presentation. Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and approved sanitiser, with no moving parts or electrical components to maintain.

This model is categorised as a neutral serving module, distinct from heated or refrigerated units, and is placed in the serving and display section of the professional catering equipment catalogue.
