Product Description
Overview
The Carter-Hoffmann PH3S mobile heated plate dispenser is a purpose-built solution for new restaurants and foodservice operations that need plates and bases delivered to the line at controlled serving temperatures. Designed with a three-compartment (3-silo) enclosed configuration and a convection base heater, the PH3S holds up to 180 bases or 225 plates (10"–12" diameter) and is factory-configured to accept plates but can be field-converted to accept bases. With a 208V/60/1-ph electrical requirement, 4800 watts, and a 23.1 amp draw on a cord with NEMA 6-20P, this unit balances powerful performance with straightforward installation for tight kitchen buildouts.
Key Features
