Lincat PHTC Ceramic Panel Insert for Panther Hot Cupboard

The Lincat PHTC is a ceramic panel insert manufactured specifically for the Panther Hot Cupboard range. It is a factory-fitted component, meaning it arrives installed as part of the hot cupboard build rather than as a field-fitted add-on. Its purpose is to provide a smooth, heat-retaining internal surface that supports plated dishes and gastronorm containers throughout a service period.

Inside a working hot cupboard, the quality of the holding surface has a direct effect on temperature consistency. A ceramic panel distributes heat more evenly across the base than bare metal, which helps reduce cold spots during prolonged holding — particularly relevant when the cupboard is loaded to capacity during a busy service. The surface also offers a stable, non-slip resting point, which matters when plates and containers are being placed and removed repeatedly at pace.

• Even heat distribution across the cupboard base during extended holding
• Stable, non-slip surface suitable for plates and gastronorm containers
• Smooth ceramic finish wipes down quickly between services
• Matched component for the Panther Hot Cupboard range
• Reduces surface temperature inconsistencies under sustained load

It is worth being clear that this insert is specific to the Panther range and is not a universal or retrofit accessory. If you are sourcing a replacement for a damaged panel or specifying a new Panther unit, confirming the correct component reference before ordering will avoid compatibility issues further down the line.
