Versicarte: the innovative food servery solution

Moffat @ the CESA Innovation Zone, Hospitality 2011, NEC, 24 – 26 January.

In the CESA Innovation Zone at Hospitality 2011 Moffat will show its latest Versicarte food servery range. Developed and manufactured in Britain, Versicarte provides a flexible food service counter, comprising a range of commercially-specified mobile units that can be wheeled away when not in use.

It also incorporates Moffat’s ‘Green Thinking’ technology. For example, Versicarte bains maries and hot cupboards feature the company’s Sahara Fan heating and chilling system, which saves energy, speeds up performance and gives superior temperature control.

Versicarte comes in a wide variety of units, including hot and cold food counters, beverage and even cash till modules. Being mobile, these can be manoeuvred into different configurations, to suit changing menus, meal times or audiences. Their fascias can be easily changed, too, to adapt to different interior designs and applications – for example, a plain blue fascia could be used for a working lunch, an upmarket wood laminate for a VIP reception, and so on.

E & R Moffat is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of quality foodservice equipment, designing and manufacturing in-house. Based in Bonnybridge, Scotland, the company manufactures standard and bespoke servery, regeneration and storage equipment with a full nationwide after-sales engineering team. E & R Moffat is accredited to ISO 9001:2008 and many of the products have gas approvals and are EMC tested. For more information on E & R Moffat visit the website on www.ermoffat.co.uk

Editors notes

Moffat’s Sahara multi-fan system saves energy by heating and chilling more efficiently in, for example, banqueting systems and regeneration ovens. The system blows re-circulated air through heating or chilling elements, rather than the conventional method of drawing air through the heat exchanger or heating elements first. As well as being more energy-efficient the system gives safer, more predictable temperature control. It is also up to 55% faster than using standard elements. In tests, a hot cupboard bain-marie unit upgraded with a Sahara fan heating unit proved to be 48% more efficient than before.
