PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Add some pizzazz to your cold food display with Atlas Metal Industries’ new WFR Series round frost-top refrigerated systems. Fully customizable, the state-of-the-art units provide a unique and very attractive presentation for pre-plated cold dishes. The units frost over quickly, furnishing a bed of snow for dishes such as salads, cold appetizers and desserts. You can order a self-contained unit with an integrated compressor or remote the compressor but keep the on-off switch next to the unit. The frost tops are designed to install into a counter with the frost-top surface sitting just 1 in. above the surrounding space. When the units are turned off, condensate melts into a ½-in., full-perimeter gutter that slopes into a 3/4-in. IPS drain below. The frost tops are constructed of 14-ga., type 304 stainless and feature a 1-piece design that is welded, ground and polished to a uniform finish. A factory-applied, solid vinyl gasket forms a seal with the surrounding counter, preventing seepage as well as any marring of fi ne wood fixtures. The frost tops also feature copper tubing soldered firmly to the exterior bottom. The pans are fully insulated with 1½-in.-thick fiberglass and polystyrene for maximum efficiency and energy savings. The frost-top refrigerated systems come in 5 diameters: 16-, 18-, 20-, 22- and 24-in.

SLICE SAFELY
Vollrath’s new Deluxe Deli-Style Slicer with a 13-in. blade is ideal for slicing meats and cheeses in high-volume operations. Powered by a heavy-duty, high-torque ½-hp (peak) motor, the slicer is tough enough for continuous use, including foods known to create drag. A proprietary nonstick blade coating also reduces drag and makes cleanup easier. An extra-long slide rod and large receiving tray are designed to accommodate large loaves of meats and cheeses with precise slice thickness up to 1 in. A 35° gravity-feed feature maximizes productivity by reducing operator fatigue. Safety features include a permanent blade-rim guard and blade-removal system. The carriage tilts open with zero blade exposure for safe and easy cleaning.
