Food Magic Daily Wednesday, June 5, 2019 1 8 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 application is designed. Nominal or custom sizes (to the inch) are available to meet the designs of architects and consultants. Bally poured in place panels are manu- factured in 4-, 5- and 6-inch thickness to meet your specific needs and exceed all Federal Energy Code requirements. Bally is proud to be the first major manufactur- er in the foodservice segment to have fully integrated Honeywell's environ- mental 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 accessory mounting point. The structural steel car- ries the weight and eliminates door sagging for superior per- formance 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 savings offering of SmartSpeed™ evapora- tors the company has launched the SmartVap+™ to pair with the exist- ing SmartVap™. Together, this intu- itive technology operates seamlessly with existing manual or newer elec- tronic expansion valves in order to provide energy savings adaptive defrost capabilities as well as pro- vide the operator a vast array of reporting.

Sharpen Grill Tools On the Go with FMP's GrillSharp By Kimberly Salesky, Editor, Franklin Machine Products The temperature consistency of your grill heating surface is a crucial factor in food doneness. For best product results, your grill surface must heat food evenly. A common cause for improper heating tem- peratures is carbon build-up. Your grill spatula blade is your best bet for a quick, thorough carbon clean-up; however, dull grill tools don't scrape up all the carbon build-up on surfaces and result in incon- sistently cooked product, plus more clean-up. Sharpening your grill spatula blade regularly can help provide a better grill surface clean-up and carbon removal for more thorough heat distribution on your grill's surface. The GrillSharp ® Grill Tool Sharpener sharpens your grill spatu- la blades so you can effectively scrape carbon from your grill surfaces. It also sharpens pizza rockers and S blades. The GrillSharp is small enough for easy transport, so it's readily avail- able wherever and whenever you need to sharpen your grill tool blades. Best of all, it's available at an affordable price. You can also store the GrillSharp and your grill tools – as well as other essentials – in the Universal Griddle Rail, now available as a 24-inch wide option in addition to the 36-inch wide option. It fits most griddle manufacturers and models, is easy to install and is simple to remove for cleaning. Maximize your grid- dle workspace by conveniently storing toppings and garnishes, squeeze bottles, shakers, breads and rolls and cooking utensils in this handy accessory item.

Franmara Offers Wine and Bar Accessories For almost 50 years, Franmara, Inc. has been a leader in high quality wine and bar accessories. It particularly specializes in wine and bar service in the foodservice industry with many of its products. All of its items are listed on AutoQuotes. Seeking higher quality and greater diversity as well as keeping high quanti- ties of inventory in stock are Franmara's greatest challenges. In terms of wine accessories, Franmara Inc. has the largest line of wine accessories in the world. With over 200 waiter's-type corkscrews alone, including the Pulltap's and Boomerang corkscrews, Franmara leads the way. Franmara's own Capitano Waiter's Corkscrew, for instance, is a favorite with waiters. It is very durable and has a long handle for good leverage, and is quite attractively priced. Many in- room hotel refreshment facilities carry an imprinted version of this or the Pocket or Traveler's. For room service or mini- bars, the plastic Pocket and Traveler's corkscrews are imprintable and used by thousands of establishments worldwide. Another foodservice favorite (and airline service favorite) is the Cedon bench mount uncorking machine. (It even has its own Boeing product number!) Lustrum (1mm thick) cocktail shak- ers are a big foodservice favorite item, as well. Crumb scrapers, wine decanters, wine coolers, cheese accessories, open- ers, stoppers, pourers (recently expand- ed) and peppermills are also popular products. The Modularack Pro wine rack line fits a foodservice niche with 31 con- figurations for storing, or displaying, from 24 up to 408 wine bottles. Very strong, Radiata Pine from Australia makes these easy-to-assemble units very special. After 49 years in business, Franmara, Inc. has become a leader in wine and bar accessories. Since the late 1990s, the 80 million plus Baby Boomers have impacted wine consumption in a big way. As a result, this wine-drinking trend, and all the accessories that go with it, have been a good boost for the food- service trade. Franmara keeps addressing this opportunity. Barware products have also greatly increased in sales. Franmara sells only to the trade, with no direct sales to the public. The compa- ny ships from its own facility in Salinas, California, where it manufactures, assembles and imprints many of the products it sells. The company has many proprietary items, invented and patented by Franmara. It continues to search the world to broaden its categories (as will be revealed in Franmara's new catalog). Creating and manufacturing what's not available anywhere else in the world has become a big challenge for Franmara. Franmara, Inc. has outgrown its original plant and now also warehouses in nearby facilities. The company is proud and pleased that many of its employees have worked for Franmara for a decade or more. Franmara strives to provide its employees with the best envi- ronment it can for them. Franmara's facility runs on 100 percent renewable solar energy.
