Product Description
The Lincat CT1 is a countertop conveyor toaster designed for continuous, high-volume toasting in commercial environments. Unlike pop-up toasters, the conveyor format allows a steady flow of bread, buns, or teacakes to pass through at a controlled speed, emerging consistently browned on both sides without any manual intervention between each slice.
In a busy breakfast or brunch service, the CT1 earns its place quickly. Because product feeds through automatically, a single operator can load the conveyor and continue with other tasks while toast is produced consistently in the background. Independent upper and lower element controls allow browning intensity to be dialled in separately, which is particularly useful when toasting items with different densities or when the kitchen switches between white bread and thicker bakery-style cuts. An internal fan assists heat distribution, and the exterior panels are effectively insulated, keeping surface temperatures at a safe level even during extended service periods.
- Adjustable conveyor speed for precise browning control
- Independent upper and lower element adjustment for versatile use
- Internal fan and insulation keep exterior panels cool during operation
- Continuous feed format reduces operator intervention at service
- Includes both a toast tray and removable crumb tray for straightforward cleaning
Installation is straightforward — the CT1 is a countertop unit requiring only a suitable electrical connection and adequate ventilation around the unit. It is worth ensuring the worksurface can accommodate both the footprint and the exit zone where toast is deposited, as this is an area that sometimes catches operators out during initial setup.
The CT1 is well suited to hotel breakfast operations, café counters, staff canteens, and pub kitchens where toast forms a regular part of the menu. For very high-volume operations — large hotel buffets or high-footfall sites running consecutive sittings — a higher-capacity model may be worth considering to maintain throughput without slowing service.
If you are unsure whether the CT1 is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The CT1 is rated to produce up to 340 slices per hour under continuous operation, which is sufficient for most café and small hotel breakfast services. For larger operations running multiple sittings or high-footfall buffets, it is worth assessing whether a higher-capacity conveyor unit would better match your throughput requirements.
- The CT1 is a countertop unit requiring a standard electrical connection — no specialist services or ventilation extraction are required. You should allow adequate clearance around the unit and sufficient counter depth to accommodate the exit zone where toast deposits, as this is often overlooked when positioning the machine during initial setup.
- Yes — the adjustable conveyor speed and independent element controls make it practical for a range of items including burger buns, teacakes, and thicker bakery cuts. Adjusting the speed and element intensity allows you to match the toasting profile to the product, though very thick or irregular items may not feed reliably through a standard conveyor format.
