JLA EXPANDS TO BETTER SERVE CUSTOMERS By Rochelle Van Pelt, Regional Sales Manager, JLA Equipment Distributors At JLA Equipment Distributors, we are constantly seeking feedback on how we can become a better partner to our ven- dors. Based on this feedback, JLA Equipment Distributors is continuing to grow geographically, as well as by con- tinuing to expand the breadth of the lines we distribute. In these current economic times, we realize that dealers cannot inventory the same amount of equipment that they may have in the past. Additionally, in the society we live in we realize cus- tomers cannot and will not wait for products. That is where JLA adds value! We stock more products than our com- petitors and we typically have it in stock in one of our local warehouses so we can provide the right product quickly at the best possible pricing. JLA has inventory in stock in numer- ous warehouses throughout the Southeast United States including numerous warehouses in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Additionally, we have recently expand- ed into the Virginia, D.C., and Maryland marketplace. ENVIROTUB OFFERS INCREASED SAFETY OPTIONS By Rodney Medina, Enviro News Envirotub, Inc., based in Southern California, recently introduced key safety improvements to their already popular indoor grease storage container, the Envirotub. The originator of indoor grease storage tubs has added a patented electric pump to the unit that allows kitchen staff to safely and easily empty used fryer oil. As with the original product, kitchen staff can roll the Envirotub directly to the fryer. Now, instead of manually dumping the used fryer oil into the storage tub, the oil can be automatically filtered for reuse. Using a 5-foot wand and onboard electric pump, hot oil is easily pumped out of the fryer. The oil can then either be filtered and returned to the fryer for reuse or transferred to the Envirotub's onboard storage tank. The innovative and patented pump and filtration option being offered in the new Envirotub adds a new level of safety for kitchen staff to transfer, filter or dispose of hot fryer oil. When the Envirotub is ready to be emptied, it can be easily rolled to the pump- ing truck and conveniently emptied without spillage. The wide mouth opening of the Envirotub allows a typical pumping hose to be inserted. The Envirotub can be emptied of all of its contents in about 60 seconds. The Envirotub allows restaurants to store used fryer oil in a container (18 inch- es wide by 32 inches high by 28 inches deep) that fits under most two- and three- compartment kitchen sinks. When the fryer needs to be emptied, the Envirotub, fitted with four non-marking polyurethane wheels, can be easily rolled right to the fryer for hot oil disposal. The Envirotub can withstand fryer oil of up to 300 degrees and holds up to 53 gallons of used fryer oil. The Envirotub is designed with a raised lip around the perimeter of the top to prevent spillage or overflow during oil transfer. To help prevent any potentially rancid odors from escaping, the Envirotub comes with an innovative twist-on lid that helps secure odors but still allows venting of heat being dispersed from the oil inside of the container. With the ability to store fryer oil inside the store, the threat of theft is effectively eliminated. Traditional oil fryer disposal can be very dangerous for employees. Kitchen staff risk being heavily burned while carrying hot oil to outside containers and the areas where these containers are kept can be dirty, slip- pery and dangerous especially at night. Storing used oil inside the restaurant using the Envirotub helps to minimize the threat of injuries and resulting workers comp claims. Grease theft from out- side storage contain- ers can cost a restaurant thousands of dol- lars each year. Factor in the cost of cleaning the spill that thieves may leave behind or the fines imposed by local code enforce- ment and the financial loss could result in the tens of thousands of dollars. The Envirotub has proven to be an invalu- able tool for restaurants, malls, hospitals, sports stadiums, colleges, food courts and grease pumping companies, all of which share in the revenue gained by responsible and safe grease recycling programs.
