Plate Warming Cabinet ROCAM 010MOATHPLC27

A heated plate dispenser keeps stacked crockery at serving temperature so the first plate is as warm as the last. The unit circulates gentle heat through a closed chamber; the plastic lid traps the warmth while still allowing staff to lift plates without opening the whole cabinet. This method prevents sudden cooling and eliminates the need to reheat plates between courses, keeping service smooth during peak demand.

The operator loads up to fifty plates of 28 to 33 cm diameter into the dispenser, closes the lid, and sets the thermostat. Once the desired temperature is reached, the unit maintains it automatically. Plates are removed one at a time from the top, ensuring the next plate is already warm and ready. Two lockable castors let the dispenser be positioned close to the pass or moved for cleaning without losing heat.

The cabinet is built on a laminated-wood frame that provides insulation and a stable base. Optional foldable tray slides in laminated wood or stainless steel can be fitted to the short sides, converting the unit into a temporary work surface for garnishing or holding cutlery. Removable slides allow the dispenser to lean against a wall, saving floor space in tight kitchens. Feet are available in aluminium-coated PVC or with a skirting that protects walls and cupboards from scuffs.

Controls are simple: a single thermostat regulates the internal temperature. The 0.6 kW heating element draws a modest load, suitable for a standard 230 V single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens. The footprint of 585 mm wide by 743 mm deep fits between worktops and under standard shelving, while the 893 mm height keeps the top shelf within easy reach.

Cleaning involves wiping the laminated-wood surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The plastic lid lifts off for access to the interior, and the castors can be locked to prevent movement while plates are loaded or unloaded. Optional tray slides should be removed and cleaned separately to avoid water damage to the wood laminate.

The dispenser is available in a range of finishes: laminated wood in twenty-one colours from silver to anthracite, allowing it to match existing kitchen decor. Optional accessories include foldable dish holders and tray slides in wood or stainless steel, each configurable for the short sides or as removable units for wall mounting.
