Pretty In Prep

Precision’s new preparation stations combine looks, function and brains

Precision’s new prep stations have great looks, an ultra-practical design and a very clever control system that minimises energy use.  Designed for the preparation of foods like tapas, salads, sandwiches, desserts and pizza, the prep stations’ banks of wells use a curtain of air system to hold and protect ingredients all day long.

Featuring an attractive, minimalist design and smooth lines, and constructed of stainless steel throughout, the new prep stations are suitable for the kitchen and for front of house and theatre-style cooking.  Available in three and four cabinet versions, with banks of seven and ten 1/3 GN pans respectively, the prep stations can be fitted with doors or drawers.  The new units have an advanced, highly effective cold air distribution system maintaining a storage temperature of 4°C in both the ingredients pans and the cabinets below, ensuring HACCP compliance.

“The curtain of air and cold air distribution systems deliver a no-compromise ability to hold temperature,” says Nick Williams, managing director of Precision.  “Food safety is increasingly the primary focus, especially in chains and groups.  Our new prep stations set the highest possible standards.”

The self-contained rear mounted refrigeration system is managed by the latest version of Precision’s iCool energy saving controller.  It not only adjusts the unit’s operation depending on conditions, but also learns how the cabinet is being used – the number of door openings during specific periods and so on – and uses that information intelligently, to forecast likely conditions so as to run as efficiently as possible.

Practical design features include the concealed, retractable pan cover, instead of the conventional hinged or removable lid.  This is more convenient for staff and also allows the prep counters to be positioned under a pass.

The prep stations are 1085mm high and 920mm deep.  The three cabinet PPC 307, is 1430mm wide, while the four door PPC 410, measures 1900mm.  List prices start from £5,170.
