Restaurant Daily News 7 3 Monday, May 22, 2017 ZUMEX STRENGTHENS COMMITMENT TO BUSINESSES WITH HIGH JUICE DEMAND, LAUNCHES NEW SPEED PRO + PLUS AT SHOW Zumex ® Group, world leaders in the design and manufacture of commercial juicers, presents the new Speed Pro +Plus, its fastest and most robust design to meet all high demand juicing needs. The new Speed Pro +Plus series to be presented for the first time in U.S. at the NRA Show includes three models that adapt to the needs of each business: Speed Pro +Plus Self Service; Speed Pro +Plus Self Service Podium; and Speed Pro +Plus Tank Podium. The new features include outstand- ing innovations that raise these automat- ic juicers to a higher service level, such as the automatic PulpOut system, the built-in extraction kit or its tap with front push button and bottle support. With the introduction of the new Speed Pro series models, Zumex con- tinues with its commitment to promot- ing healthy eating. Designed to offer maximum performance and the sim- plest operation on the market, the new Speed Pro +Plus series converts juic- ing into a unique experience, allowing consumers to instantly prepare fresh juice with the quick and easy self- serve option. "Experience has shown us that chains that commit to the incorporation of our automatic juicers in their produce section increase the consumption of oranges. This directly provides the stores where our machines are installed with value and profitability, as they also act as an engine to drive the consumption of other fresh products on the shelves," says Silvia Perez, Marketing and Communication Manager at Zumex, who adds, "We work together with the supermarkets to integrate our solutions, in agreement with their business needs and their internal operation to make them more profitable." Main Innovations Found in the Speed Pro +Plus The automatic PulpOut system: with a silicone conveyor belt that permits automatic, easy, hygienic and fast pulp removal, while it also increases autonomy and saves time. Furthermore, its triple filter system guarantees high production yield as well as maximum juice quality and optimal texture. The PulpOut System mode of use can be programmed using the machine's electronic display; either continuous or discontinuous depending on the type of pulp, and the Auto clean function is perfect to always keep the filter clean. Built-in extraction kit: permits removing the entire juice extraction unit in just one movement and in record time (10 seconds), so that it can be washed as one single piece in the dishwasher or under the tap. Tap with front push but- ton: included in the table top and podium self-service mod- els, they allow consumers to serve their juice at the touch of a finger, making it more con- venient. Bottle support: available in the Speed Pro +Plus Self Service Podium model, it secures bottles during the juice extraction process under the tap, for the user's greater convenience. New podium: doubling the normal waste capacity, to provide the machine with greater autonomy. Its two bins can store up to 70 kilos of waste – around 330 squeezed oranges.

YOUR BAR'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS SOLVED: FLAT BEER, FRUIT FLIES & GLASS POLISHING In 1961, Bar Maid Corporation intro- duced the 5 Brush in-sink Glass Washer. Fifty-five years later, major chains and independents still count on U.S.-manu- factured Bar Maid glass washers to deliv- er "beer clean" glassware free of lipstick and grease. "The increasing popularity of craft beer has made this more important than ever," says George Shepherd, Bar Maid's President. "An improperly cleaned glass is sure to draw the carbonation out of any beverage, especially beer. Proper glass cleaning maximizes beer head, flavor, customer satisfaction and operator prof- its. In fact, properly clean glasses can yield as many as 50 more glasses of beer from a standard keg. At $5 each times 50 glasses times eight kegs a week – that's a lot of profit! "There's a misconception that washing with a 5 Brush Washer is slow- er than other methods. The truth is, under-counter washers have to be loaded, cycled, unloaded and then after cooling, the glassware checked for lip- stick," says Shepherd. "And then there's all those racks to deal with… not to mention chemicals and maintenance. With a Bar Maid washer, you handle the glass once and it's clean. That's why most chains use a Bar Maid washer in their bars. They do studies and they know what works." With the goal of creating more innovative, money-saving products, Bar Maid recently introduced a new glass polisher. "It pays for itself in months," says Shepherd. "The Bar Maid GP-100 is five times faster than hand polishing, more sanitary and virtually eliminates breakage and the associated injuries. The cost is insignificant compared to the ben- efits." Another great new product is the Citrus Wedger. With one easy motion, whole lemons or limes are safely cut into eight or 16 perfect wedges for drinks, cocktails or food garnishes. Its heavy-duty commercial design features non-skid rubber feet for stability and an easy to replace, long-life stainless steel blade. The Citrus Wedger allows staff to spend more time serving paying customers and less time prepping fruit. Focused on developing more solu- tions for operators, Bar Maid now manu- facturers keg management carts and dol- lies, an extensive top quality line of bar supplies and an innovative line of pesti- cide-free fruit fly control products, includ- ing the new FLY-BYE Floor Drain Trap Seal that is low cost, installs in seconds and eliminates evaporation, odors, gases and bugs… all big floor drain problems. The FLY-BYE Floor Drain Trap Seal is a patented one-way valve that allows water and solids to drain, then closes when there is no water flow to prevent migration of odors, harmful and potentially flammable gases, and insects such as fruit flies and cockroaches up through the floor drain grate. With four sizes to choose from, it installs easily in minutes and makes drains virtually main- tenance free. Tested and certified to ASSE 1072 Standard and listed with IAPMO and I.C.C., it also helps with LEED Certification.

SLIPGRIPS LAUNCHES NEW GROUNDBREAKING SLIP-RESISTANT TREAD DESIGN SlipGrips, a leading designer, manufac- turer and provider of slip-resistant footwear, introduces DragonGrip – a cutting-edge non-slip tread design that is bringing the gaming market to its feet. The key to DragonGrip's unparal- leled performance is the combination of an advanced technology rubber com- pound that is confidential and exclu- sive to SlipGrips with a patented revo- lutionary tread design. The propriety tread consists of hundreds of hexagonal pylons of varying heights that form a three-dimensional pattern. On a micro level, each individual six-sided pylon independently adjusts to changing sur- face textures while creating numerous small channels that efficiently funnel away liquid, soap and grease. At the same time on a macro level, the larger valleys created by the 3D relief allow for faster dispersion and therefore greater outsole-to-floor contact. It's a smarter, ambitious, multi-tasking, fear- less outsole that empowers the wearer to work the floor with the sole of a dragon. Independent laboratory Mark II ASTM F1677-05 test results confirm unrivaled performance in maximum sur- face-to-surface contact to prevent slip- ping and sliding. Superior test scores of 0.62 in oily and wet (vegetable oil and water) and 0.54 in soapy conditions (50/50 blend of liquid soap and water) powerfully prove this outsole outper- forms the competition in reducing slip/fall incidents and improving employee safety. While these shoes defi- nitely have the brains, they also have the looks. From the iconic style of a skater's shoe to the trendiest new athletic shoe style, employees will enjoy wearing these fly hot dragons. The true draw of these trend-setting kicks is the unique use of fresh, bold colors in the uppers as well as in the outsoles. While SlipGrips definitely offers indus- try-standard black for conservative uni- form wear, it takes it up a notch with cool color options. These shoes can be tailor-made to your specific company colors to fashionably coordinate with your brand identity. The colored tread adds a subtle flash of bad-ass dragon that secretly inspires a more productive shift and allows your employees to show their true colors while staying safely on their feet. You can also maximize employee safety by incorporat- ing a comprehensive shoe program. As a division of Lehigh Outfitters, SlipGrips is the leader in man- aged corporate shoe programs. With a dedicated website, on-site kiosks, sub- sidy, payroll deduct and voucher options and so many other customized services to specifically fit your company needs, you can increase employee participation and significantly reduce the risk and cost of slip and fall accidents.
