Novameta BHS-VMO-120/60/90 worktop with under-shelf for dishwashers

A stainless-steel worktop designed to sit above a commercial dishwasher, the Novameta BHS-VMO-120/60/90 creates a continuous work surface while keeping the machine at waist height. The under-shelf provides organised storage for racks, chemicals or clean tableware, freeing the worktop for soiled items and speeding the wash cycle.

The principle is simple: the table spans the width of the dishwasher, supporting the weight of stacked plates, cutlery and glassware without sagging. A shelf below holds items that would otherwise clutter the worktop, so the operator can slide racks straight from the table into the machine and back again without bending or reaching. The height of 900 mm matches standard worktop levels, keeping the workflow at a comfortable height for standing staff.

To use the table, position it directly over the dishwasher so the machine's door opens beneath the shelf. Load soiled items onto the worktop, then transfer them to the dishwasher rack on the shelf below. Once washed, the rack returns to the shelf until needed, leaving the worktop clear for the next load. The sequence keeps dirty and clean items separate and reduces handling time.

Construction is stainless steel throughout, chosen for hygiene and resistance to moisture and chemicals. The standard version has a flat worktop and a plain under-shelf; optional reinforced or grid shelves are available for heavier loads. The table stands on adjustable feet to level it on uneven floors.

The footprint of 1200 mm by 600 mm fits most under-counter dishwashers, creating a seamless run of work surface. The 900 mm height places the shelf at a convenient reach, while the 600 mm depth allows racks to slide in and out without obstruction. The unit is moved by lifting the worktop or sliding the shelf out, so the weight is carried by the frame rather than the surface.

Cleaning follows from the materials: wipe the stainless steel with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry to prevent water marks. The shelf can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the adjustable feet should be checked periodically to keep the table level and stable.

Variants include a reinforced shelf for heavier loads and a grid shelf for improved drainage and ventilation. The table is placed in the catalogue under Worktops & Tables, Dishwasher Accessories.
