Hobart
Hobart has added several accessories suitable for its line of food processors. These accessories enable operators to cut chicken, create french fries and shred cheese, depending on the model.
Vitamix
The Vitamix XL is a large-capacity commercial countertop machine that allows operators to blend up to 24 8-ounce servings at one time. It is suitable for use in making large quantities of smoothies, soups, sauces, batters, dessert fillings, etc. The XL features a 4.2 peak-output horsepower motor and a 1.5-gallon container with a low-profile, removable plug lid. Other features include variable speed control and pulse.
Continental Refrigerator
Standard features for this line of pizza prep tables include a reversing condenser fan, refrigerated section with a half door above the condensing unit, a low-profile angled rail, an off-cycle defrost timer, a slide-out condensing unit and door-to-drawer combinations.
VitaMix
VitaMix has updated The Quiet One, the manufacturer’s commercial beverage blender. The unit’s Twist Lock sound enclosure and larger centering pad allow for easier cleaning and enhanced speed of service. Other features include 3-peak output hp motor, 6 program buttons, 34 settings, 93 variable speeds and auto shutoff.
Hobart Corp.
Hobart has developed two new slicers: Centerline by Hobart Edge10 (10-inch knife) and Edge14 (14-inch knife). The two slicers add to the company’s offering of Edge slicers with 12- and 13-inch knives. Both units feature a chrome-plated carbon steel knife. A top-mounted ceramic stone sharpener allows the operator to hone in 15 seconds for a consistently sharp knife edge.
Berkel
The B-Series line of slicers includes four manual gravity-feed slicers and one automatic model. The slicers come with 9-, 10-, 12- and 14-inch knives for the manual units and a 12-inch knife for the automatic unit. Each knife is made of chrome-plated carbon steel, and each unit features an anodized aluminum finish. Operators can submerge the slicers’ removable carriages in water to further simplify cleaning.

An audible timer indicates when the unit is up to temperature as well as when the cooking cycle is complete. Digital controls allow up to five cook settings at a time and can be preprogrammed for repeatable results.

The GP PRO Automated Sealing Machine offers secure beverage sealing that is both spill resistant and tamper evident. This cup-sealing machine applies a secure, heat-activated plastic-film seal that fits most sizes with a brim, paper or plastic, in less than two seconds without staff touching the lid.
