Canteens
Canteen equipment is designed for high-volume, cost-conscious foodservice in schools, hospitals, workplaces and care facilities. Drop-in bain-maries, plate lifts and holding units keep food at safe temperatures while you serve large numbers efficiently.
Whether you're fitting out a new canteen line or replacing worn components, you'll find robust, easy-to-clean units that fit standard counter apertures and integrate with your existing pass.
Drop-in bain-marie units and plate lifts for institutional canteens and high-volume service lines. Bain-maries hold multiple 1/1 GN pans at serving temperature (1.2–1.8 kW electric); plate lifts warm and dispense stacked plates (50-plate capacity). Both integrate into existing counter lines for efficient bulk meal service.

When selecting canteen equipment, consider the size of your service line, number of covers per sitting, and the types of food you hold. Most drop-in units are designed to accommodate standard GN (Gastronorm) containers, allowing flexibility across different menu items.
Key factors to evaluate: power requirement and electrical capacity, depth and width to fit your counter layout, ease of cleaning and water drainage, and material durability under continuous use. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid canteen environments.
