Madrid, 24 May 2017. - Fagor Industrial, specialist manufacturer of equipment solutions for the restaurant, hotel and laundry sectors, launches their new GLOBE generation of Commercial Refrigeration onto the market. Continuing in their line of work, Fagor Industrial has created a generation of machinery with the main objective of guaranteeing better preservation of foods for longer at the same time as achieving a reduction in energy consumption of up to 70%.
Efficiency as starting point
Among the novelties of the new generation is a concerted drive to offer improvements to the preservation systems, by increasing the insulation thickness across all the medium ranges. The GLOBE generation includes “Multiflow”, an intelligent air circulation system which guarantees a constant and balanced distribution of the low temperature. Moreover, in their desire to make the kitchen working experience more satisfactory, they include the ECO function, which saves 12% energy and optimises the performance of the machines, so that in periods when the door is not opened, the electronic control automatically selects the temperature and timing parameters so that the refrigeration unit only comes on when necessary.
The gases with which the new equipment works are “Zero Impact” in terms of energy efficiency, of non-toxic natural origin (R290 and R600a), and with a lower environmental impact on the ozone layer. Moreover, the GLOBE generation comes with latest-generation components incorporated, allowing the energy consumption to be reduced and a higher efficiency to be achieved, while also making work in the kitchen more satisfactory thanks to the low noise level generated.
Robustness as standard
Ease of handling is provided to the users with an intuitive electronic control which allows the different functions to be accessed directly, with IPX5 degree of protection, while the machines are designed with the control panel integrated into the control holder. Also of note is the incorporation of a pedal for door opening in the upright range, which allows comfortable access to the inside of the refrigerator when the user has their hands full.
The design is conceived to facilitate the work of the kitchen professionals, and to that end, all the equipment comes with ergonomic handles included, with a comfortable and accessible gripping surface which also avoids possible blows. Making access easier for maintenance interventions is very important for Fagor Industrial; the Monoblock range for which the whole condenser unit can be easily replaced is presented with that in mind.
Ease of cleaning
This equipment also seeks to guarantee maximum ease of cleaning, and suitable maintenance, something which it achieves with the single piece floors with rounded edges, the inbuilt integrated drain and inbuilt shelf guides which have also been included as a novelty in the Concept Range upright refrigerators. Moreover, the raised, adjustable feet and the removable components make the work of kitchen professionals much easier. The LED lights, strategically placed in the front part of the roof, light up the whole of the compartment. They consume little energy and last much longer, collaborating closely with the energy saving by not producing heat inside the refrigerator.
“Our final objective is that the users have the security of choosing a reliable, long-lasting product capable of withstanding the intense use required by this type of professional equipment”, states Jose Ignacio Hurtado, head of projects at Fagor Industrial. “We are very proud that this new generation complies with the new European Eco Labelling regulations, where, after having tested the energy consumption of our equipment, we have obtained very good results”, concludes Hurtado from Fagor Industrial.
