    Choosing the Best Commercial Whirlpool Dryer

    Removing Bad Smells From Business Premises

    A strong odour in any business premises will give an immediate bad impression of your business, despite the fact that everything may be perfectly clean and sanitised.

    What is amazing is that there are now a number of devices which are really fantastic at removing bad smells from business premises – and that is not just over-exaggerated marketing promises from the manufacturers of these products. In fact, I know a rep who demonstrates these appliances in hotels, and he says people are completely flabbergasted at how effective they are after just 30 minutes of use.

    They are highly effective against lots of different day-to-day odours, such as cigarette smoke, paint, food waste, urine etc. and this makes them ideal for situations

  8. What is a Bratt Pan? – Commercial Catering Equipment Explained.

    What is a Bratt Pan? – Commercial Catering Equipment Explained.

    Many people have never heard of this commercial kitchen appliance before, so what is a Bratt Pan? It is an appliance for use in a commercial or industrial catering kitchen which has the requirement to produce a large batch of food in one go – either for immediate consumption or for preparing batches of a particular dish for consumption later.

    It is the type of appliance seen in school kitchens or large office canteens: but you are never likely to see a bratt pan in a domestic kitchen.

    Capacities can get very large, but a typical Bratt Pan capacity is around 80 litres, and they are usually constructed of steel. Because the weight of up to 80 litres of food can be significant, Bratt pans usually have a hinge along the front of the pan, allowing it to be levered forwards (with either a manual rotary lever, or an electric motor) and the front edge of the pan usually has a spout-type lip on it for easy pouring into a container brought to the front of the appliance.

    Bratt pans are available
