It seems like the number one complaint when it comes to pizza and sandwich prep tables is that the product isn’t held cold enough, making food unsafe. Turn down the temperature on the unit and food can freeze, especially along the rails where food pans come into contact with refrigeration cold-walls.

 

Traulsen has a solution. In lieu of a cold wall system, Traulsen TS Full-Size Prep Tables feature TempAssure® technology. This air-channel system circulates air above and below prep-table pans. The circulating cold air extends over the food surfaces, down the entire length of the rail and into the bottom of the cabinet. TempAssure® provides 15 hours of NSF-7 certified temperature performance. Which means you can leave the top up all day!

 

So what keeps the food in the pans from drying out? According to Laura Gutkowski, Sales Development Manager for Traulsen, the key is quality of the airflow. “This is a gentle flow of air. In real life tests we saw no drying of food, even after two days.”

 

Another feature that really stands out on the Traulsen TS Full-Size Prep Table is the front breathing design with zero clearance installation. This means you can push the unit right up to the wall or into a corner. With a hinged access door on the lower right, it couldn’t be easier to access the condenser filter for periodic cleanings. This practice is simple, improves efficiency, and extends the unit's life.

To watch a great video of how one Traulsen customer got TempAssured, go to the Prep Tables Page of Traulsen’s website, and then find the “Dorothy Lane Market” video about half way down the page.
