Novameta Table to Dishwasher 1600 Worktop Unit

A stainless steel worktop unit designed to bridge the gap between food preparation areas and commercial dishwashers, providing a dedicated space for loading and unloading without disrupting kitchen workflow. The extended surface allows staff to stage dirty dishes, scrape and rinse plates, and organise clean items for return to service, keeping the dishwashing process contained and efficient.

The unit functions as a stable, hygienic platform that supports the weight of stacked plates, trays, and utensils while resisting heat and moisture from constant use. Its height matches standard commercial dishwashers, creating a continuous work surface that eliminates the need to bend or lift between stations. The flat top also serves as temporary storage for detergents, rinse aids, and cleaning tools, keeping essentials within reach during peak service.

To use, staff place the unit adjacent to the dishwasher, ensuring it is level and securely positioned. Dirty dishes are transferred from service areas onto the worktop, where they are sorted, scraped, and pre-rinsed under a tap if fitted. Once the dishwasher cycle completes, clean items are removed onto the same surface for air-drying or immediate redistribution. The seamless transition between stages reduces handling time and minimises the risk of breakage or cross-contamination.

Constructed from stainless steel, the unit resists corrosion, staining, and bacterial growth, meeting the hygiene standards required in professional kitchens. The dimensions of 1600 mm length, 700 mm width, and 900 mm height provide ample space for multiple staff to work simultaneously without crowding. The 800 mm worktop depth, plus a 4% tolerance, ensures compatibility with most commercial dishwashers and adjacent equipment.

No integrated controls are present, as the unit is purely mechanical. Its specifications—length, width, height, and material—determine its role in the kitchen layout. The 1600 mm length allows it to span the width of a standard dishwasher while leaving room for additional staging. The 700 mm depth prevents overreach when loading or unloading, and the 900 mm height aligns with typical worktop heights for ergonomic use. The stainless steel construction ensures durability under heavy use and simplifies cleaning.

Cleaning involves wiping down the surface with a damp cloth and approved sanitiser after each service period. The absence of crevices or seams prevents food debris from accumulating, and the material's non-porous finish allows for quick drying. Regular inspection of the unit's stability and level is recommended to maintain safety during operation.

This model is part of Novameta's range of modular kitchen furniture, designed for integration with commercial dishwashing systems. It fits seamlessly with other Novameta worktops, trolleys, and storage units, allowing kitchens to standardise their layout and workflow.
