It accepts plates in the 210mm to 285mm diameter range and holds approximately 60 plates at a time, making it a practical addition to a servery counter, carvery, or buffet line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a busy service environment, having plates held at the correct temperature reduces the risk of hot food cooling on a cold plate before it reaches the customer. The PDH1 handles this quietly and reliably without requiring staff attention during service. The fixed thermostat keeps the internal temperature consistent, and the neon indicator lamp gives a clear visual confirmation that the unit is powered and up to temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractically, the unit is straightforward to work with day to day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMobile on four heavy-duty 150mm swivel castors, two of which are braked for stability during service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2m curly power cable with a plug park, keeping the cable tidy when the unit is moved or stored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel lid supplied as standard to retain heat when the unit is not in active use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable internal crumb tray simplifies daily cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush bars and corner bumpers available on request for busier or tighter environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit requires a standard 13A socket and is mobile, so there are no fixed installation requirements. Its mobility makes it well suited to kitchens where the servery layout changes between service periods, or where the unit needs to be moved for cleaning. It is worth confirming that your floor surface is suitable for the castors, particularly on uneven or soft flooring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PDH1 is well suited to hotels, restaurants, carveries, and contract catering operations running a traditional plate service. It is particularly practical where a countertop plate warmer is not feasible or where the servery layout changes regularly. For very high-volume operations turning over significantly more than 60 covers in a single service, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure whether the PDH1 is the right fit for your service style or volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36578031184,"sku":"PDH1","price":884.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/Victor_PDH1_Heated_Plate_Dispenser.jpg?v=1599399091"},{"product_id":"victor-pdh2-heated-plate-dispenser","title":"Victor PDH2 Heated Plate Dispenser","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Victor PDH2 is a heated plate dispenser — sometimes referred to as a lowerator — designed to keep stacks of dinner plates at a consistent serving temperature ahead of service. It is British-made and designed to complement Victor's range of hot cupboards, making it a natural fit for operators who are already working within the Victor servery system. The unit holds approximately two stacks of plates in the 210mm to 285mm diameter range, covering the most common plate sizes used in commercial service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a busy servery setting, pre-heated plates make a measurable difference to food quality at the point of service. Hot food stays hotter for longer on a warmed plate, which matters particularly during extended service periods or high-volume buffet runs where plates are drawn frequently. The fixed thermostat maintains a steady hold temperature without requiring manual adjustment during service, which reduces the burden on front-of-house staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractically, the PDH2 is well suited to mobile servery setups. It runs on a 2-metre curly power cable with a plug park for safe storage when not in use, and the four heavy-duty swivel castors — two of which are braked — allow the unit to be positioned and locked wherever it is needed on the floor.
