Tech/Engineering - Food & Drink / Catering Equipment Catalogue
German term or phrase: Belegstation
"Ausführung Kälteaggregat

Das Kälteaggregat befindet sich in einem verzinktem Stahlblechgehäuse unterhalb der ***Belegstation***. Innerhalb des Stahlblechgehäuses befindet sich eine Verdunstungsschale für das anfallende Kondenswasser.
Das Bedienteil ist an der rechten Seite angebaut. Alternativ kann das Bedienteil auch in die Thekenblende vorgezogen werden (Leitungslänge ca. 60 cm)."

From a catalogue for catering equipment (food counters etc.). I haven't got any idea whatsoever what is meant by Belegstation. The dictionaries are no help at all here. TIA for any light you can shed on this obscure word.

Thanks Gisela. I'll go with "work station" here, especially after reading the peers' input. But I thought Teresa's suggestion was quite a plausible one as well, so thank you also, Teresa. Appreciate everyone's help.
