Product Description
The Tournus 808 182 is a mobile twin-stack ambient plate dispenser designed for buffet counters, cafeteria serveries, and self-service operations where a steady supply of plates needs to be kept accessible at the point of service. It holds two separate stacks side by side, allowing staff to replenish one stack without interrupting service from the other. As an ambient dispenser, it is intended for room-temperature plates rather than heated or chilled service.
In practice, this type of dispenser earns its place in sites that move significant volumes of covers — staff canteens, school dining halls, hotel buffets, and healthcare refectories where plates need to be presented neatly and reach customers without handling delay. The twin-stack configuration suits operations that want a buffer of plates close to the servery without cluttering the counter.
The unit is built on a wheeled trolley base with braked castors, which allows it to be repositioned between service periods or moved aside for cleaning. The adjustable column accommodates a useful range of plate diameters, making it practical for sites that run more than one plate size across different services. Construction uses steel throughout with polyethylene bumpers to protect both the unit and surrounding furniture during movement.
- Mobile design repositions easily between service areas or for deep cleaning
- Twin-stack layout keeps plates accessible without interrupting replenishment
- Braked castors hold the unit steady during service
- Adjustable diameter range suits multiple plate sizes from the same dispenser
- Bumper-fitted construction reduces contact damage in busy servery environments
This dispenser is well suited to medium-volume self-service operations. Sites with very high throughput or a need for heated plate presentation should consider a powered or larger-capacity alternative from the range.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your servery layout or plate specification, our team is happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — the 808 182 is an ambient dispenser only, intended for room-temperature plates. If your operation requires plates to be pre-heated before service, you would need a heated plate dispenser with a warming element, which is a separate product category.
- The column is adjustable to suit plate diameters between 180mm and 290mm, which covers most standard dinner, side, and buffet plate sizes used in UK catering operations. If you are running an unusually large or small plate format, it is worth confirming the diameter before ordering.
- Having two separate stacks means a staff member can reload one column from the back-of-house while the other remains in service, avoiding the gap in availability that can occur with a single-stack unit during peak periods. It is a practical layout for steady-flow operations rather than very high-volume sites where a larger multi-stack configuration may be more appropriate.
