What warranty does your shelving have?
February 18th, 2009The warranty a product is supplied with tells you a lot about its quality.
Metro shelving has the longest warranty of any product supplied into food service applications. This includes a 12 year anti-corrosion warranty on Super Erecta up to a lifetime warranty on Metro Max.
Compare this to a well-known Australian brand and they publish no information about how long their warranty is.
No wonder Metro is the world's number one brand of shelving in food service.

FAQ: My Koldtech Pizza Bench is running HOT
February 13th, 2009Every now and then I get a call from an end user complaining there Koldtech Pizza Bench is running hot. There are many factors that could be causing this, usually it is environmental or operator error, I have listed below the common causes of temperature increase.
· Pans are sitting wrong, they are positioned over the return air not on return air bracket.
· Ventilation holes in the front back or side have suddenly been covered up.
· Food in fridge under is packed so tight or poorly that no air can recirculate.
· Exhaust hood is located near the unit and sucks the cold air out instead of letting it go into the return air
· Unit is being run in an non air conditioned premises, the weather is suddenly hot and humid, this will cause the refrigeration to struggle.
· A fan is in the shop and blowing air across the unit and stopping the cool air from going back into the return air.
· Product is piled too high in the pans, thus leaking the cool air into the room, not into the return air.
The Koldtech units have their sensors in the return air, the warmest part of the unit, usually the unit is actually colder than the display. We have sold these to national account customers without hassles, they are a robust unit and a logical choice for anyone looking for a reliable Pizza Prep bench.

Richard Phillips (Director Of Engineering) commented,"The Electrolux dishwasher was here when I started 15 months ago and in all has been a reliable machine, sure it has small intermediate problems but most of them can be contributed to operator error, we are in the hospitality market place and staff don't hang around very long, every now and then a new staff member comes along and cannot comprehend our systems and make mistakes, in saying that we have a close relationship with the Stoddart service department, if we do have a hiccup, we make one call and we can forget it as a service agent is just around the corner" 23-01-2009
