Vizu VI3TFC 3 Tier 5 Lane Heated Food Chute

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Vizu VI3TFC is a three-tier, five-lane heated food chute designed to bridge the front and back of house in high-throughput catering operations. It holds wrapped or bagged food items in a warm, organised pass-through arrangement, keeping product ready for service without degrading quality. The unit is built from stainless steel throughout, which makes it practical to clean down between service periods.
In a busy quick-service or high-volume environment, the chute earns its keep during peak service windows when the pass is under pressure and accuracy matters. Each lane is illuminated by concealed high-intensity lights, making it straightforward for service staff to read listing strips and identify contents quickly. The heating system combines overhead heat lamps — controlled by variable dimmers — with a thermostatically controlled heated lower deck, so product temperature can be managed across the full chute depth rather than relying on a single heat source. The two systems operating independently means operators can reduce power draw during quieter periods without shutting the unit down entirely.
Practically, the adjustable lane guides allow the configuration to be changed as the menu changes, which is a useful operational advantage in sites where the offer shifts across dayparts. Key benefits include:
- Independent control of heat lamp and lower deck reduces energy use in off-peak periods
- Variable dimmer controls allow fine adjustment to suit different product types
- Listing strip holders on each lane support accurate, fast order fulfilment
- Adjustable lane guides adapt the layout to match menu changes
- Hidden lighting keeps the pass visually clean while improving product visibility
The unit requires a 2.4kW electrical connection and weighs 60kg, so the pass or counter structure it sits on should be confirmed as suitable before installation. At 800mm wide and 1030mm high, it suits a standard pass configuration, though it is worth measuring the available height carefully if the unit is intended to sit beneath overhead shelving or extraction canopies.
The VI3TFC is well suited to quick-service restaurants, takeaway operations, and high-volume food service sites where a structured, heated pass is needed to manage order throughput cleanly. For smaller operations or sites with lower simultaneous order volumes, a single- or twin-tier alternative may be a more proportionate choice. Equally, very high-capacity sites running extended service periods might benefit from a more heavy-duty unit.
If you are unsure whether this chute suits your pass layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
Frequently asked questions
What type of operation is the VI3TFC best suited to?
It is designed for high-volume quick-service and takeaway environments where multiple orders need to be held, organised, and dispatched from a structured pass. The five-lane layout works well where several product lines are running simultaneously during peak service.
What are the electrical requirements and installation considerations?
The unit draws 2.4kW and requires a suitable electrical connection at the point of installation. At 60kg and 1030mm in height, you should confirm that the supporting counter or pass is structurally adequate and that there is sufficient clearance above the unit if it is being positioned beneath extraction canopies or fixed shelving.
Can the heat settings be adjusted to reduce energy use during quieter periods?
Yes. The overhead heat lamps and the heated lower deck operate independently, so one can be reduced or turned off without affecting the other. The dimmer controls on the heat lamps also allow fine adjustment rather than requiring a full on/off approach, which gives operators practical flexibility across different parts of the service day.
