The VTC146WB is a heated holding cupboard designed to maintain plated meals and service plates at safe serving temperatures in high-volume catering operations. It operates between 0°C and +85°C with 2000W heating across 1400mm width. Common in hotel banquet kitchens, canteen service lines, and large-scale catering facilities where batch plating precedes service.
Commercial Application
Holds pre-plated meals at temperature during peak service periods when kitchen output exceeds immediate table turnover. Eliminates re-heating cycles and maintains food safety compliance during banquet service, buffet preparation, or institutional meal programs.
Operators load plated meals 15–30 minutes before service window opens. Sliding door access allows quick plate retrieval without heat loss. Temperature range accommodates both warm holding (+65°C to +85°C) and cooler storage for temperature-sensitive items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade stainless steel is used in the cabinet body?
A: Cabinet exterior is AISI 304 stainless steel. Internal surfaces are food-grade 304 with 2B mill finish. Door panels use 430-grade stainless with brushed finish.
Q: What is the maximum plate load capacity?
A: Internal shelf configuration supports up to 80kg distributed load. Actual plate capacity depends on stacking method—approximately 50–60 standard 10-inch plates when stacked with separators. Overloading reduces air circulation and temperature uniformity.
Q: Are internal shelves adjustable or fixed?
A: Unit ships with fixed internal shelf positions optimised for standard plate stacking. Shelf height is set at factory. Custom shelf configurations require specification at time of order.
Q: Does the 100mm upstand integrate with wall cladding?
A: Upstand functions as splash guard and prevents liquid migration to wall surface. It does not seal against wall cladding. Gap between upstand and wall should be sealed with food-safe silicone if required by local health code.
Q: Can cabinet dimensions be customised for specific counter runs?
A: VTC146WB is manufactured to standard 1400x600x850mm specification. Custom widths or depths require minimum order quantity and extended lead time. Contact TurcoBazaar technical team for feasibility assessment on non-standard dimensions.
