Commercial vs. Residential Blenders

December 28, 2018 | No Comments »

As a restaurant owner, you are often faced with the cost-versus-benefit decision. When it comes to blenders, why would you choose a commercial blender, when a residential blender is cheaper, and looks almost exactly like a residential blender?

Remember, there are costs associated with:

  • The replacement of a blender that can’t keep up with the demands of your kitchen
  • Your guest’s disappointment with the difference in consistency of blended products
  • Fewer safety features and more potential safety issues
  • The failure to meet insurance and health code requirements
  • The lack of a commercial grade warranty

Choosing a commercial blender saves you more money in the long run, is built to last the demands of commercial use, has safety features to comply with insurance and health code requirements, and designed to use ingredients that you normally wouldn’t use in a residential blender.

They are constructed to protect your restaurant investment during storage and transportation, while also keeping them clean of dust and debris.

True Tech: The Reverse Condensing Fan Motor

December 13, 2018 | No Comments »

True’s Reverse Condensing Fan Motor (RCU technology) is standard on all True hydrocarbon refrigerator models. But what is RCU and what does it do?

RCU reverses the direction of the condensing fan motor to remove excess debris from the interior and surface of the condensing coil. During normal operation, the fan operates conventionally, drawing outside air in over the condensing coil. In the first 20 seconds after startup, the fan runs in reverse to blow dust, dirt and debris off the condensing coil. This results in increased efficiency by using 20% less energy, increasing the life span of the refrigerator, and keeping temperature and product consistently cold!

Check out the video below for more information on RCU technology:
