It uses IDM's patented Multi-X mechanism to dispense semi-liquid and viscous products, such as sauces, dressings, cereals or condiments, at a consistent, pre-set volume each time. It comes in two versions: the DMPC1-1.5L countertop model with a metal stand, and the HMPC1-1.5L wall-mounted model with a metal wall bracket. Both are supplied with a SAN container and a black ABS lid and funnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a self-service or buffet setting, consistent portioning matters both for cost control and for keeping the service point tidy. The Multi-X mechanism offers five portion settings, so operators can set the volume to suit the product and the service style, and switch between settings easily across menu periods or events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, these dispensers help in several practical ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive adjustable portion levels reduce over-dispensing and help manage product costs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe SAN container is food-safe, allows visual stock monitoring and is easy to refill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe countertop model's metal stand keeps the unit stable at a practical height for guest use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe wall-mounted model keeps counter surfaces clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe enclosed funnel and lid design limits spillage and keeps the service point presentable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeither version needs pipework or an electrical connection, as both are gravity-fed and manual in operation. The countertop model needs a stable, level surface. The wall-mounted model needs basic fixings to a suitable wall, so consider the mounting height for accessibility. Cleaning involves disassembling the container and dispensing components between service periods. Check that your product's viscosity suits the mechanism, as very thick or chunky products may not dispense cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese dispensers suit hotels, contract caterers, cafés, canteens and any site running a self-service food offer where portion consistency matters. For larger capacity or a bank of dispensers, it is worth discussing the full IDM range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure which version suits your product or service format, our team is happy to talk it through with you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDM","offers":[{"title":"Countertop with stand","offer_id":55304724087166,"sku":"DMPC1-1.5L","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wall mounted","offer_id":58433667596670,"sku":"HMPC1-1.5L","price":118.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/files\/Screenshot2025-03-12154349.png?v=1741794365","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/products\/idm-multifunctional-portion-control-dispenser-1-5l","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
