Casselin CECM100 Mobile Heated Shelf Unit

A mobile heated shelf unit keeps plated dishes at serving temperature without reheating or drying them out. Each shelf is warmed by its own electric element, controlled by a separate thermostat. The heat spreads evenly across the surface, maintaining a steady low temperature that prevents overcooking while keeping food safe for service.

To use the unit, the operator wheels it into position on four swivelling castors, locks the brakes on two of them, and connects it to a 400 V three-phase supply. Each shelf is fitted with a removable grid; the grid is lifted out, the plated dish is placed on the shelf, and the grid is replaced to keep the plate stable. The corresponding On/Off switch is turned on, and the thermostat is set to the desired temperature up to 70 °C. A waste collecting pan beneath each shelf catches any spills or drips. When service is finished, the switches are turned off, the unit is unplugged, and the shelves and pans are cleaned.

The entire unit is built from stainless steel, including the frame, shelves, grids and waste pans. Four independent heating circuits power the shelves, each with its own On/Off switch and adjustable thermostat. The unit stands on four swivelling castors, two of which have brakes for stability during use.

The 4 kW power rating means the unit requires a dedicated three-phase circuit capable of supplying the full load without tripping. The 400 V voltage matches the standard three-phase supply found in professional kitchens. The 102 kg weight indicates that two people should move the unit when it is loaded, and the castors are designed to carry the load across kitchen floors without damage. The footprint of 1000 mm by 630 mm fits into a standard worktop run or can be positioned against a wall, while the 1788 mm height allows the top shelf to be reached comfortably by most operators.

Each shelf measures 840 mm by 545 mm, providing space for multiple plated dishes. The removable grids simplify loading and unloading, and the waste collecting pans beneath each shelf make spills easy to manage. The four independent thermostats allow precise temperature control for different dishes, and the On/Off switches let unused shelves be turned off to reduce energy consumption.

Cleaning involves removing the grids and waste pans, wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and ensuring the castors are free of debris. The unit is designed for daily use in a professional kitchen, with all components accessible for maintenance.
