The Vollrath PLC-3 stainless steel gravity-fed pull-down cup dispenser handles cups in the 3-1/2"–4-1/8" diameter range — large cup sizes covering 20–32 oz fountain drink cups at high-volume beverage service. The 25-7/8"W x 4-3/8"D stainless unit mounts to a wall or rotating stand.
Gravity-fed pull-down mechanism for one-at-a-time dispensing. NSF listed.
The PLC-3 covers the 3-1/2"–4-1/8" cup diameter range — the large cup format corresponding to 20–32 oz fountain drink cups used at high-volume quick-service and fast casual operations. At this cup size, the gravity-fed pull-down mechanism handles the increased weight and diameter of large cups reliably — the retention mechanism is sized and calibrated for the PLC-3's diameter range, providing the same single-cup pull-down function as the smaller models at the larger scale.
Large cup dispensing at high-volume fountain drink operations is a throughput-sensitive application. Service staff or guests filling large drinks need to retrieve a cup quickly and move on without fumbling with a dispenser that requires two hands, unusual force, or multiple attempts. The single-handed pull-down action of the PLC-3 allows cup retrieval in a fast, natural motion consistent with a high-speed beverage service workflow.
The 4-3/8"D dimension reflects the larger cup diameter range — the dispenser body is proportionally wider to contain the 3-1/2"–4-1/8" cup diameters reliably without the cups loosely rattling within an oversized tube or binding against an undersized one. Proper cup-to-dispenser fit is the basis of reliable pull-down dispensing: cups that fit correctly gravity-feed smoothly to the dispensing position and release cleanly with the pull-down action.
Wall or stand mounting at the correct height for the service context: counter-height mounting for staff-served dispensing, lower mounting for self-serve guest access. The Vollrath RSCL-4 rotating stand allows PLC-3 units to be combined with PLC-1 or PLC-2 units for multi-size cup service at a single rotating station. NSF listed.
