Novameta Open Frame 3000-6 for Professional Catering Worktops

An open stainless steel frame forms the base for professional catering worktops, hobs, grills and refrigerated counters. Without sides or cupboards, the frame supports a work surface that can be cut to fit any equipment footprint, leaving the space underneath clear for trolleys, bins or mobile racks. The open construction also allows air to circulate freely, preventing heat build-up under hot appliances and keeping refrigerated units at their designed efficiency.

The frame stands on six legs, each fitted with a foot that can be raised or lowered to level the unit on uneven floors. This adjustment compensates for the slope of a kitchen floor without shimming or packing, ensuring the worktop remains stable and equipment placed on it does not rock or tilt.

To assemble, position the frame in the chosen location and adjust each leg until the frame sits level. The worktop is then laid across the top rails and secured with screws or clips. Once the worktop is fixed, catering equipment can be placed on it, connected to services and put into use. The open design allows the operator to reach services and controls from any side, and to move trolleys or bins in and out without obstruction.

Constructed from stainless steel, the frame resists corrosion from spills, steam and cleaning chemicals. The material is also easy to wipe down, and the open construction leaves no corners or crevices where dirt can collect.

The frame measures 3000 mm long by 600 mm wide, providing a footprint that matches standard catering equipment widths. The height is adjustable between 835 mm and 900 mm, allowing the worktop to be set at the ergonomic level for standing operators or to align with adjacent counters and appliances.

Cleaning involves wiping the frame with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, focusing on the legs and rails where spills may run down. The open construction means there are no enclosed spaces to trap moisture or debris, so the frame dries quickly and remains hygienic.
