PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Hidden in plain sight is one way to describe the ingenuity behind the Equipex Induc’Stone warmer, which sits underneath the countertop and heats chafing dishes through induction, leaving the top side of the counter unencumbered with electric or solid-fuel warmers. “Doing so permits the service counter to be used for other purposes during non-foodservice hours,” says Irina Mirsky-Zayas, Ph.D., V.P.-Sales and Marketing for Equipex. “At the end of the foodservice session, the counter can be simply wiped down and cleaned.” The warmer can be mounted under a variety of surfaces, including natural and engineered stone, concrete or glass, without the need to change décor. When used with the complimentary Induc’Mate spacer, the unit keeps water in a chafing dish hot while the counter stays cool; airflow fans keep things cool under the counter. “Operators enjoy the high heating temperature of 194°F that can be achieved, keeping foods in the chafing dish at proper holding temperature,” adds Mirsky-Zayas. “In addition, the system is very efficient and cost effective to operate.” Automatic pan detection/power supply monitor, empty pan/automatic overheating detection, and capacitive touch controls make it easy to operate.

The temperature inside the dehydration chamber remains an optimal 100°F, keeping food soil from freezing during waste accumulation while equipment is idle. The unit reduces the volume and weight of food waste and compostables by a ratio of 8 to 1.
