Restaurant Daily News Monday, May 20, 2019 4 0 Glastender Introduces Space-Saving Fusion Sink Glastender, Inc., headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan, has created a new product category with the release of its patent-pending, space-saving Fusion sink. Space behind a bar is almost always at a premium. Despite the fact that space is limited, there are certain pieces of equipment that every bar must have in order to function properly and meet code requirements. Two such products are a hand sink and a wet waste sink. A hand sink is required to meet code in a foodservice establishment and a wet waste sink is required to meet functional- ity requirements. A wet waste sink, also known as a dump sink, is the place where the leftover ice, condiments and stir sticks are dumped into a perforated strainer, which allows the ice to melt away while capturing the solid waste. Once the ice has melted, the solid waste is discarded. Glastender has turned difficulty into opportunity with the release of the Fusion sink, which is a com- bination hand sink and wet waste sink. The unique tiered design of the Fusion sink has the hand sink on top and the wet waste sink offset below. As an added bene- fit, the hand sink drains into the wet waste sink to help melt ice. The all stainless steel and welded construction of the Fusion sink ensures the quality and durability of the unit. The upper hand sink includes a hot and cold water faucet, soap dispenser and side splashes. The side walls also serve as side splashes for the lower wet waste sink, which includes a lift-out per- forated plastic wet waste strainer. To complete the unit, the front skirt also includes an integrated, flush-front C-fold paper towel dis- penser. Overall, the 12-inches wide by 24-inches deep Fusion sink pro- vides the functionality of a hand sink and wet waste sink, which normally would take up twice as much space. "We are excited to release yet another industry first product and we are sure that the space-saving qualities of our new Fusion sink will make a lot of people happy," stated Todd Hall, President of Glastender. Brema: Ice-Making Since 1985 Ice making is integral and critical to almost all operations in the hospitality industry. Yet, we rarely give much thought to it. "We need ice," is often the extent of the thought process involved. And why not? All ice machines work under the same basic principles: evapo- rator, condenser, compressor and throt- tle valve. Add some water, power and voilà! But not all ice machines are created equal. In fact, not all ice is created equal. Founded in 1985 by the Maroli fam- ily, Brema Ice Makers has been making ice with constant care and attention to detail. Ice-making is its passion. It is also a commitment to customers, who must always be provided with optimal, timely solutions for all their needs. Brema Ice Makers offers five sizes of ice cube as well as specialty ice such as fast ice, ice finger, ice flakes, ice peb- bles and cold flakes. Six types of ice all catered to specific needs and environ- ments. Brema Ice Makers designs and man- ufactures machines according to the highest standards. It uses the best materi- als and the most advanced technologies. For example, its ice cube units use a hor- izontal evaporator which allows for the removal of 98 percent of solids present in the water, ensuring a crystal clear cube, always. Constant effort and research, in order to more fully understand and antic- ipate the developments of the market, is an integral part of Brema's business model. The machines manufac- tured by Brema Ice Makers are extremely reliable, func- tional and safe. Following IMQ (Instituto Italiano del Marchio di Qualità) con- formity mark approval, the entire range of ice-makers has received approval from all European and non- European certification bod- ies. International certification of Brema Ice Makers products includes the UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 standard, NSF, ETL Listed Mark, ETL Sanitation Mark, GOST, KTL, IRAM, the Swiss Safety Mark, HACCP e C-TICK and the CE mark. Attestations also include BSI (OHSAS) 18001:1999 workplace and workforce safety certification. All Brema models, from concept through to the finished product, are manufactured for efficiency. Efficiency criteria include energy- and water-saving performance rat- ings and ease of cleaning and main- tenance. The manufacturing process is carefully monitored. Materials and components are selected in full con- formity with project specifications. The later stages are monitored by means of a computerized system that records the results and frequency of all intermediate machine tests. The data is included in the control document accompanying the machine right up to the final inspection certifica- tion stage. Brema Ice Makers SPA, a family run business, is distributed by Eurodib Inc, another family run business in North America.
