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

  • Three enclosed silos — Keeps plates organized, protected, and at serving temperature to speed plating and reduce service errors.
  • Convection base heater — Even, consistent warming without hot spots for reliable food safety and presentation.
  • High capacity — Stores up to 180 bases or 225 plates (10"–12"), minimizing refill frequency during peak service periods.
  • Field-convertible — Factory-configured for plates and easily converted to accept bases in the field, giving flexibility as your menu or service style evolves.
  • Mobile, lockable casters — Move the dispenser to where you need it and secure it during service to streamline workflow.
  • Commercial-grade construction — Built for continuous operation in busy kitchens to deliver long-term reliability.
  • Safety and compliance — cULus listed and UL EPH Classified for commercial foodservice environments; designed to integrate seamlessly with health code requirements.
  • Easy maintenance — Accessible interior and durable finishes reduce downtime for cleaning and inspections.
