imc WasteStation Receives Best Sustainable catering equipment AwardFood waste is a major problem for any organization that produces it. The new iMc WasteStation changes that by allowing commercial caterers to reduce food waste volume and weight requiring collection costs by up to 80%. Through centrifugal action, the WasteStation forces out excess liquid from the macerated waste, and the “grey water” is then fed directly to the drain, leaving the resulting solid fraction of the food waste to be collected in small, easily managed, lidded bins ready for onward processing. The self-cleaning system reduces staff time required to manage and process food waste, while the compact design and short processing times ensure low operating costs and minimal use of kitchen floor space. The WasteStation is perfect for hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals and more.

in February, the WasteStation won the Best Sustainable catering equipment innovation Award at the Gulfood Show in Dubai. This coveted award is presented to the company that has shown innovation and excellence in the development, marketing and launch of new equipment, especially equipment which is proven to provide commercial significance and benefits to the food and beverage industry by offering energy, waste water and labor saving features. The innovative iMc WasteStation has been creating quite the buzz throughout the industry and will be prominently displayed at Booth 4212 at the NRA Show in chicago.

Avoid cross contamination with HoUNÖ combi ovenscross contamination in food preparation is a serious concern, particularly in restaurants and other commercial kitchens. Raw meat, poultry and fish may be contaminated easily by harmful bacteria if food is not handled properly. HoUNÖ introduces the unique, Pass-Through oven, featuring a two-door design that makes it possible to separate raw products loaded by the chef from the finished products picked up by the server. The possibility of cross contamination is reduced in an efficient manner, as the finished products are always off-loaded before raw products are placed into the oven.

For more information on how to avoid cross contamination visit www.houno.com.

Southbend introduces New PlanchaThe Southbend Plancha Unit is a direct contact cooking surface which can also be used as a hot top. Across the Plancha plate there are several heat zones for diversified cooking. A high heat zone, max temperature of 800°F, is located toward the front which is great for a quick sear. Toward the back of the plate temperatures decrease to 625°F, great for finishing or holding product. every Plancha has a raised 1/2” thick reinforced steel plate which provides a fast preheat and quick recovery time. collection areas on either side of the griddle plate accommodate a standard 3” wide spatula, making the units easy to clean during and after use.
