PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Meeting 2018 EPA Significant New Alternatives Policy is a SNAP with Master-Bilt’s redesigned refrigeration systems, including the M-Series condensing units and the E-Series evaporator coils, which now operate with eco-friendly R448A/R449A refrigerant. These interchangeable HFO-blended refrigerants can be used across several model types and provided Master-Bilt with additional remodeling opportunities. According to Lynn Burge, Advertising & Promotions Manager, Standex Refrigerated Solutions Group, several design enhancements were incorporated to increase efficiency and versatility. “The switch to more efficient and reliable compliant scroll compressors was made on many models,” says Burge. “In fact, all low-temp units are now standard with scroll compressors. Medium-temp models are available in both hermetic and scroll, depending on the hp rating.” Burge adds that the use of scroll compressors means fewer moving parts, which results in longer operating life and increased reliability for the units. Refrigerants and compressors weren’t the only features to get a redesign. “Many popular options are now set up as standard system configurations, such as Master Controller Reverse Cycle Defrost and evaporator pre-assembly, for ease of ordering,” says Burge. He also notes that the offering of evaporator coils now includes new low-profile models designed for easy serviceability and maximum efficiency. Lastly, Master-Bilt has streamlined its equipment list to better serve its clientele.

WATER YOUR WAY
Natura D4/Aquarius 1.80 system dispenses chilled sparkling or still water as well as room temperature still water. It’s ideal for expediting water service and for self-serve environments. The system boosts productivity for wait staff, reduces engagement for bar staff in water dispensing, and frees space in refrigerators because there’s no longer a need to pre-fill and chill water decanters. The system’s 3-step filtration process eliminates impurities. Place the polished stainless cabinet on a countertop or mount it below and access it with 3 separate taps.

ROTISSERIE RACK ROCKS
Rotisseries produce perfectly cooked proteins in big volumes, but getting product to and from the oven can be tricky. Winholt has developed an aluminum rack that can hold 6 standard 18-in. x 26-in. trays, and each tray can carry 6 stacked spickets. At the bottom, a stainless drip pan captures any spillage in the prep area and in transit, ensuring a sanitary environment. Each rack is equipped with 5-in. polyurethane casters that swivel and lock making the unit mobile and easy to maneuver. This rack helps keep rotisserie-department operation clutter-free, clean and efficient. Ask for model AL-1806BP/ XB/5PU/DP.
