Food Equipment News Thursday, February 7, 2019 6 Bally: Lower Costs, Increased Efficiencies Whether the needs are for a small walk- in cooler or freezer, black chiller or large refrigerated building, Bally panels can be made to satisfy whatever appli- cation is designed. Nominal or custom sizes (to the inch) are available to meet the designs of architects and consult- ants. Bally poured in place panels are manufactured in 4-, 5- and 6-inch thick- ness to meet your specific needs and exceed all Federal Energy Code requirements. Bally is proud to be the first major manufacturer in the foodser- vice segment to have fully integrated Honeywell's environmental friendly Solstice ® LBA into its poured in place insulation. The trademark of Bally is its "diaphragmatic joining system" which incorporates a structural band fastened to the speed-loc joining mechanism. Bally's unique Speed-Loc ® system provides an internal cage/skeleton of reinforcement throughout the entire enclosure. This interconnection results in unparalleled strength and allows Bally to outperform the competition. Bally is proud to offer the strongest door in the industry. All Bally doors come standard with a unitized heavy gauge structural U-channel steel frame with additional welded backing plated integrated at every acces- sory mounting point. The struc- tural steel carries the weight and eliminates door sagging for superior performance over the life of the unit. Bally's team of refrigeration engi- neers continues to develop products designed to lower annual operating costs and increase efficiencies. Along with Bally's standard energy sav- ings offering of SmartSpeed™ evaporators the company has launched the SmartVap+™ to pair with the existing SmartVap™. Together, this intuitive technology operates seamlessly with existing manual or newer electronic expan- sion valves in order to provide energy savings adaptive defrost capabilities as well as provide the opera- tor a vast array of reporting.

SuperSorb CarbonPad and SuperSorb F-23LV from Filtercorp Filtercorp's patented SuperSorb ® CarbonPad has been proven to perform in top foodservice operations, consistently out-performing other types of frying oil filtration media. The SuperSorb CarbonPad extends the useful life of frying oil by trapping damaging particles 500 times smaller than a grain of sand. Among the benefits are less oil usage, less oil change outs, cleaner oil, greater savings and more consistent food quality. Food products cooked in clean oil cook faster, absorb less oil and have a crisper texture. Simply drop a SuperSorb CarbonPad into your fryer filter and start enjoying the benefits of cleaner oil. In 2018, Filtercorp introduced its newest patented technology: The SuperSorb F-23LV. It is the high-volume filter for your low-vol- ume fryer. The new fry oil filter is the next-gen- eration of the SuperSorb CarbonPad. The SuperSorb F-23LV has a pleated pre-fil- ter stitched on top to collect the larger food debris. This technology enables the filter to be even more effi- cient, resulting in a two-fil- ters-in-one system that has all the advantages of the SuperSorb CarbonPad. The proof is in the profits and the taste. At Filtercorp, "filtration is what we do, and people are why we do it." Visit Filtercorp at booth #2341. For more information, go to www.filtercorp.com. Glastender Introduces Modular Beverage Stations Glastender, Inc., headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan, has expanded its product offerings into the kitchen fabri- cation market with its new Modular Beverage Stations concept. Modular Beverage Stations are con- figured and manufactured to customer- specific requirements. A complete lineup is designed by selecting from the top options and then specifying the module types and sizes to mount below the top. Stations ship complete in lengths up to 144 inches. "With our Modular Beverage Stations concept and our online configu- rator, we have created something new for the foodservice industry," stated Todd Hall, President of Glastender. "We have taken the hassle out of making a custom beverage station lineup. You no longer need to settle for standard or wait around to get a response from a custom fabrica- tor. Go to mbs.glastender.com and use our configurator to create and price your own custom station in minutes." The top options are flexible to meet various customer requirements. The top overhang may be 1/4, 1 or 2 inches. The three edge and nose profiles include flat, marine or rounded. The three depths available include 24, 30 and 36 inches. The top is available with various back and side splash configurations and also with an integrally welded drip trough with removable perforated insert in lengths from 12 to 36 inches. Incredible design flexibility is achieved through the 11 different module types that are available to mount below the top. The modules are named for the type of cabinet they are or the role they serve in the lineup. As the name implies, adjustable shelf, fixed shelf and open storage mod- ules have either an adjustable shelf, a fixed shelf or open cabinet storage. Drawer modules are available with one, two or four drawers. Drop-in modules are specifically intended to house various drop-in units and sink modules are specifically designed to house the option- al sink bowls that are integrally welded into the top. An empty space module provides space for a slide-in unit, like a trash can or undercounter refrigerator, and an end wall module is available to finish off the end if the empty space is located at the end of a lineup. Glass rack mod- ules include rack slides for installations where glass rack storage is required, while the roll-out shelf module includes two roll-out shelves to provide easier access to storage. Lastly, an urn stand module provides a spe- cial lowered work surface area for installa- tions where larger tea urns are being used. Where applicable, the front of a module may include doors or an apron or a combination of both, which are also available with louvers to allow air flow as necessary. In addition to their incredible design flexibility, Modular Beverage Stations are all heavy-gauge, stainless steel con- struction to ensure quality and durability. Visit Glastender at booth #1669. Why You Should Only Choose Factory Built Grease Duct Type 1 Kitchen Hood grease duct and proper ventilation are vital in any com- mercial kitchen. It can be the difference between a safe working environment, and sheer disaster. Currently there are two exhaust duct options to choose from in the market- place: field fabricated with minimal safe- ty code materials and methods of con- struction, and UL listed and code approved factory-built grease duct. AMPCO offers double wall insulat- ed ZClear, the most innovative factory- built kitchen grease duct in the industry. Here are the top reasons why you should only choose factory built grease duct. Superior Safety ZClear is safety tested/listed to stringent UL test requirements (UL 1978, UL 2221) which includes a 30 minute, 2,000 degree Fahrenheit internal grease fire test. Unlike rectangular welded systems, ZClear allows zero clearance to com- bustibles without the need for additional field wrap insulation. The ZClear's two- hour fire rating eliminates the need to design and install a separate fire-rated chase. The product's cylindrical stainless steel construction maintains strength at much higher temperatures than carbon steel, which protects people and property even in the event of a grease fire. Efficient Energy efficiency and overall perform- ance are greatly improved with round grease duct designs due to less flow resistance. In addition, round stainless systems are much easier to clean and reduce grease accumulation com- pared to rectangular designs. Customizable and Attractive The modular concept of facto- ry-built grease duct provides for maxi- mum design flexibility and ease of instal- lation. The AMPCO engineering staff provides complete design services that takes the guesswork out of installation even for the most complex systems. ZClear can be customized to your unique application requirements and is available in a variety of exterior color and material options. Limited Lifetime Warranty Factory-built grease duct is higher in quality, durability and has a longer life when compared to field fabricated sys- tems. ZClear features a limited life- time warranty. Overall, AMPCO ZClear factory- built grease duct has superior strength at high- er temperatures, is fire- rated, energy efficient and more durable when compared to field fabri- cated products. Lowest Installed Cost Factory-built modular components are easier and quicker to install. AMPCO eliminates the need for on-site welding, and multiple inspections, which saves valuable time and money. The ZClear system minimizes floor space require- ments and eliminates the time and expense associated with constructing a separate fire-rated chase.
