Catering equipment exhibitors at Hospitality 2007

Adventys
Stand 1349
The company is launching a range of induction hobs, including the new induction plancha.

Aluline
Stand 1636
A new achievement for this specialist in catering-sector drainage and waste removal is the winning of a contract across all Costa Coffee's new outlets. The company creates drainage filtration systems, to reduce maintenance costs associated with blocked drains. It has a programme called Removal At Source, which means that if you think about rubbish at the very point you create it, you have less chance of being closed down while the health and safety people unclog what you've done to the drainage system. The company's principle is "waste removal at source - no waste in means no waste out". On the same stand is Bar Olympic, the creator of rugged "behind the bar" equipment.

Ardent UK
Stand 1273
The most effective fire-extinguisher in the catering industry is offered by this maker of safety systems. Look for the Pyro-Chem Kitchen Knight II kitchen fire suppression system, designed to maximise reliable instantaneous protection against appliance, ventilation hood and grease fires.

Athanor
Stand 1349
21st-century components are promised by this maker of bespoke cooking suites.

Avery Weigh-Tronix
Stand 1336
New Premier and Futura meat slicers will be on show. The slicers deliver increased cutting capacity, a smaller counter-space footprint, and a twice-as-fast cleaning time. There is an improved knife design for consistent slicing across all kinds of meat.

Stand 1519
The company is a supplier of components for microwave ovens, including the innovative Scancook system.

BGL Rieber
Stand 1427
Many innovations are promised here, including the Metos Proveno Comi-Kettles. The company says that two kettles and four staff can feed a thousand schoolchildren across a conventional two-sitting lunchbreak. There will be the launch of Rieber banquet trolleys, and the Varithek self-ventilating plug-and-go system for front-of-house cooking on wok or griddle, without the need for a ventilation canopy.

BioCote
Stand 1631
A new and growing concept in protection against bacteria is known as Silver Technology. Silver ions on the surface of coated kitchen equipment can bind with bacteria, effectively breaking down the enzymes and stopping the bacteria reproducing. BioCote is an anti-microbial coating solution that reduces the levels of E coli, salmonella, listeria, and similar bacteria by up to 99.9%, the company claims.

BKI
Stand 1672
The launch of the Zenith range will feature a new collection of commercial hobs, grills, chargrills, griddles, open fryers and ovens to complement the company's established range of rôtisseries and combi-ovens, in gas and electric options, and a choice of sizes to meet required cooking capacities. High performance and energy efficiency have been the driving factors in the development of the range, says the manufacturer. There will also be the launch of a pasta cooker, allowing some filled pastas to be cooked from frozen in 90 seconds, controlled by a touch-pad electronic programmer, and with a feature that automatically tilts the containers to drain the pasta before depositing it on to a plate. The new Combi King range of fully-programmable combi-ovens will be available in six models and eight sizes, and features an integral jet-wash cleaning system that uses minimum power, water and detergent, the company says.

Black Rock Grill
Stand 1323
Faster serving and more "theatre" at the table are the main features of the new concept to be unveiled by Black Rock Grill. This system can be added to an existing menu as a special, or it is possible to create an entire restaurant around the idea. The theory is that food is cooked at the table on a black "rock", or flat stone, super-heated to 440ºC - the customer then lets the item cook through to the degree they like. The supplier says that it can give examples of spectacular business success from those who have adopted the concept.

Bournville Catering Equipment
Stand 1645
Designer of servery counters, refrigeration and cooking equipment.

Buffet Enhancements International
Stand 1327
This is the time to make the most of chocolate fountains, says this Alabama-based manufacturer. It has new 40-inch fountains which will hold 20lb of chocolate, and which feature a new heavy-duty, silent-running mechanism. There will be the launch of the New Age chafing dish with glass lid, touted as "the best thing to happen to chafers since canned heat - the most versatile chafing dish on the market".

Bunzl Lockhart
Stand 1237
The Steelite Organics range of tableware will be exhibited - the company says that it "combines fluid lines and flowing curves with crisp, white purity". Visitors will have the chance to win a set of tableware for six settings.

Burco Appliances
Stand 1231
If Burco's new autofill boilers are easier to install, easier to use, and easier to maintainÉ then why, asks the company, do they also cost less than competing products? This, as well as the easy-to-use diagnostics and de-scaling features, will be explained at the show.

C Thru Solutions
Stand 1633
"Stunning", "revolutionary", and "taking the market by storm", are just a few of the descriptions that C Thru has offered for its new range of display products. The major feature of the Static Butler and other new lines is that the range is made from clear acrylic, intended to show off food products with absolutely maximum visibility. However, there is the option of tinted and semi-opaque frosted finishes. A major feature of acrylic, says the company, is that its appearance is not affected by sunlight, and it is half the weight of glass.

Calor Gas
Stand 1536
Not just new outdoor catering solutions but a series of seminars discussing all aspects of hosting outdoor events are on offer from Calor. The company maintains that hosted barbecues and pig roasts are now becoming familiar events all year round, and that the caterer really should assess just how the concept can fit into his business. Topics being covered will include staffing levels, profit margins and running costs as well as suggested outdoor catering menus. There will be practical barbecue demonstrations, and a free giveaway of barbecue fork thermometers.

Catering Equipment Suppliers' association

Stand 1472
How do you ensure that you deal with a good and reputable supplier, asks the trade association for catering equipment distributors. The organisation says it will welcome visitors who want to learn about the CEDA Code of Good Practice and Customer Charter, and the fair-trading ethics that the association expects from its members.

Charvet
Stand 1530
An unusual feature of Charvet's 900 series of heavy-duty kitchen equipment, says the French company, is its use of easy-clean 3mm one-piece worktops that suite together into a semi-bespoke cooking range.

Classeq
Stand 1330
"The best pass-thru warewasher in its class" is offered from Classeq. This is the new Hydro 850, developed for very low water consumption and power usage, to provide a kitchen dishwashing package for small-to-medium hospitality sites. Also on show will be the front-loading Eco glasswashers, which have 120-second wash cycles and enough capacity for busy bars. A curiosity of the Classeq Alto 100-racks-per-hour model is that the direction of wash can be reversed - so if the kitchen layout has to be changed, it becomes easier to accommodate the washer.

Clifton Food Range
Stand 1573
The first show appearance of the Clifton range will feature water baths designed for sous-vide and other low-temperature applications, with what is described as "unparalleled specific temperature control".

Comark
Stand 1465

This is promoted as having the smallest footprint on the market. It can run off a normal 13amp socket, can roast, boil, bake or steam, and will take four 28cm plates.

Equip Line
Stand 1372
Three award-winning products at one show, says Equip Line. They are the unique Roundup PastaJet steamer, which can cook from fresh or frozen, or rethermalise pasta portions in seconds; the Alto-Shaam Combi-Smoker, which has a unique feature allowing for touch-of-a-button changes of setting; and a Personal Ordering System, which is intended to give operators the opportunity to upsell and cross-sell.

There will be a demonstration in which visitors will be able to view an extensive range of equipment in Hilditch's "cyber-showroom" on a 42in screen and be shown how to place bids online. This particular auction will close on the last day of the show, but Hilditch says that the concept now makes its services far more widely accessible than the conventional on-site auctions.

Hoshizaki
Stand 1577

The ultimate cooking machine is getting better, promises Rational.

Can eco-friendly kitchen hygiene really be effective? Scotmas's range of eco-friendly cleaners and sanitisers provide an effective alternative to chlorine-based products, and the range developed for use in food manufacturing plants is now the basis of a range designed for commercial kitchens. The products are biodegradable, do not produce fumes or toxic by-products, are effective at very low dose rates, and can be used in areas where incidental food contact is inevitable. The company says the products are so safe they can be used for washing vegetables. There will be the launch of Scotmas's Energy Conservation Through Legionella Control Programme - this programme is intended to allow hotel managers to comply with legislative demands.

UK Juicers
Stand 1422
The "Juice Bar" concept, once almost solely a US phenomenon, is now starting to appear in the high streets of most major towns in the UK, says this specialist company.
