Adande "Matchbox" Drawer Captures Interest

Adande (Suffolk, England) was awarded FCSI (UK) Sustainable Catering Equipment Award in 2008 and just received FCSI Worldwide's Manufacturer of the Year award.

Adande's insulated refrigerated drawers efficiently retain cold air resulting in temperature stability for prolonged shelf life. Each drawer can be separately adjusted from +15°C (59°F) to -22°C (-7.6°F).

An optional blast chill capability enables any drawer to be set to refrigerate, freeze or blast chill. Drawers can be installed underneath hot cooking equipment thanks to the condenser air flow design.

What caught our eye at Hotelympia was Adande's new "matchbox" design - drawers can be pulled out of either side of the unit and a simple lock bar stops the drawer from sliding out the other side when you don't want it to. Product can be loaded from the prep side of a counter and removed on the cooking side.

All moving parts are outside the cooled area and the drawers are removable for cleaning. The matchbox unit is available in the UK, Europe and elsewhere (excluding North America). With such a unique product, the company plans to conduct face to face demonstrations for customers and consultants.

Randell Refrigeration's FX Series incorporates Adande's technology and the matchbox design is planned for introduction later this year in the US.
