Novameta Sorting Table B 1600 for Professional Kitchens

A sorting table provides a dedicated, stable surface for organising ingredients, portioning dishes and assembling orders in a busy catering kitchen. It stands between preparation stations and the cooking line, giving staff a clear area to lay out trays, containers and utensils without crowding the main worktops.

The table's flat top acts as a staging point: incoming deliveries are checked and sorted, raw ingredients are washed and trimmed, and finished plates are garnished and plated before service. Its height is set to match standard worktop levels, allowing staff to slide containers and trays across without lifting. The open space beneath the top can be used for temporary storage of bins, boxes or mobile racks, keeping the kitchen floor clear while keeping supplies within reach.

To use the table, staff position it where the workflow requires: near the vegetable prep area, beside the pastry section or adjacent to the plating station. Ingredients are placed on the surface, sorted into batches, and moved to the next stage. During service, the table can hold garnishes, sauces and accompaniments, allowing chefs to assemble dishes quickly without turning away from the cooking line.

The Novameta Sorting Table B 1600 is constructed with a stainless-steel top and frame, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a kitchen environment. Stainless steel resists corrosion from moisture and food acids, and can be sanitised with standard kitchen chemicals without damage. The table's dimensions—1600 mm long, 680 mm wide and 1240 mm high—provide a substantial work area while fitting through standard kitchen doorways and alongside existing equipment.

The table requires no controls or power supply, relying on its sturdy construction to support the weight of ingredients, containers and utensils. Its footprint allows it to be placed against a wall or used as an island unit, depending on the kitchen layout. The height of 1240 mm aligns with standard worktop levels, ensuring compatibility with other kitchen furniture and reducing strain on staff during prolonged use.

Cleaning is straightforward: the stainless-steel surface is wiped down with a damp cloth and sanitiser after each service, and the frame can be cleaned with the same solution. The table's simple construction means there are no hidden crevices or moving parts to trap food debris, making it easier to maintain hygiene standards in a professional kitchen.
