Vizu VI2TFC Heated 2 Tier Food Chute

The Vizu VI2TFC is a double-deck heated food chute designed to create a practical, warm connection between the kitchen pass and front-of-house service. It runs across two tiers with five lanes, providing a meaningful throughput of dishes without occupying significant counter space. The stainless steel construction keeps it manageable in tighter pass arrangements, and at 35kg it can be positioned and repositioned without major effort.

In a busy service environment, the unit keeps plated dishes at a consistent holding temperature while they queue for collection. Each lane is illuminated by high-intensity hidden lighting, which helps front-of-house staff identify dishes quickly under service pressure. The heated lower deck is thermostatically controlled, giving the kitchen reliable, sustained warmth rather than a crude on-off arrangement — particularly useful during longer service periods where dishes may sit for a few minutes before collection.

A few practical advantages worth noting for day-to-day operation:

• Adjustable lane guides allow the layout to be reconfigured to suit your current menu
• Independent deck controls let you power down the upper or lower tier during quieter periods, reducing energy draw
• Variable dimmer controls on the heat lamps allow fine adjustment rather than a single fixed output
• Hidden lighting highlights each lane clearly, reducing errors during fast-paced service
• Stainless steel construction supports straightforward cleaning between services

The unit connects to a standard single-phase supply and does not require specialist installation. It is worth confirming your pass dimensions before ordering — the 611mm width suits many standard counter runs, but tighter or unusual pass configurations should be checked carefully.

The VI2TFC is well suited to mid-volume restaurants, gastro pubs, and café operations where a heated pass connection is needed but space is limited. For higher-volume sites running continuous double or extended services, a larger or heavier-duty unit may provide more appropriate capacity.
