Carter-Hoffmann EPD2S12 Enclosed Plate Dispenser (2-Silo) | 12" Plate Capacity | Mobile Stainless Steel

Overview

The Carter-Hoffmann EPD2S12 enclosed plate dispenser is a purpose-built solution for busy foodservice operations and new restaurant launches. Designed to hold 10"–12" round plates in two separate silos, this mobile stainless steel dispenser organizes plates for fast, sanitary access while protecting them from contamination. For entrepreneurs executing a fast kitchen buildout or restaurant opening, the EPD2S12 helps you move from construction to service quickly with minimal fuss — no power hook-ups required since it's an unheated, passive dispenser.

Key Features

• Two enclosed silos — Separate hot- and cold-line or front-of-house and back-of-house stacks to improve flow and reduce cross-contamination.
• Durable all-stainless construction — Resists corrosion, simplifies cleaning, and stands up to heavy daily use for years.
• Holds 10"–12" round plates — Built specifically for standard dinnerware; capacity varies by plate thickness (typically 40–80 plates per compartment).
• Mobile with 5" casters and brakes — Move the dispenser where you need it during setup or service, then lock it in place for stability.
• Enclosed design — Keeps plates protected from airborne contaminants and reduces handling for safer service and fewer breakages.
• Unheated, low-maintenance — No electrical or gas requirements; simple to integrate into any new restaurant layout.
• UL EPH certified — Meets electrical product and safety standards for peace of mind in the foodservice environment.
• Compact footprint — Optimizes limited kitchen or servery space during tight buildouts and high-density layouts.
