AccuTemp’s Entire Product Line is
ENERGY STAR Qualified
Fort Wayne, Indiana
(May 16, 2009) – AccuTemp Products, Inc. has announced that its
entire standard product line of steamers and griddles is now ENERGY
STAR® qualified,
with the May 8, 2009 addition of commercial griddles to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) conservation program.
AccuTemp’s unique steam-heated Accu-Steam Griddles™
all exceed the cooking and idle energy efficiency rates required for
ENERGY STAR qualification and labeling.
“Our introduction of
energy and water saving steamer and griddle technology predates the
ENERGY STAR Program’s expansion into commercial cooking equipment.
But we were quick to embrace and support their efforts to educate
and conserve scarce natural resources,” according to Scott Swogger,
AccuTemp’s President & CEO. “With their addition of griddles, the
entire AccuTemp Product line is now ENERGY STAR qualified, which is
probably a first for a multi-product foodservice equipment company.
Our on-going support of the ENERGY STAR Program is part of
AccuTemp’s ECOLOGIX™ initiative to: RETHINK-RECYCLE-RENEW!”
AccuTemp was an early
ENERGY STAR Partner in the steam cooker category with
Steam’N’Hold™, the first
connectionless, boilerless steamer designed to radically reduce both
water and energy use, while eliminating the need for water treatment
and descaling with harmful caustic chemicals. Today a total of 13
Steam’N’Hold models are ENERGY STAR qualified, including three- and
six-pan models available with 6-, 8- 10-, 12-, 14- or 17-kW power
input.
AccuTemp’s new
Evolution™ Line of
boilerless connected steamers is also ENERGY STAR qualified, while
providing operators the convenience of a no-fill connected steamer.
Evolution has a patent-pending steam distribution system that
directs steam above and below each pan, for faster cooking and more
even pan-to-pan consistency. Building on the boilerless steam system
proven in Steam’N’Hold™,
Evolution’s Steam Vector Technology™
reduces cook times without the use of troublesome fans, blowers or
moving parts.
Evolution is designed to
do-more-with-less, using only 4- to 8-gallons of water per day,
compared to the ten gallons per hour used by
competitive models. Evolution can reduce monthly water and sewer
bills, plus the energy needed to heat that water. Evolution’s Steam
Vector Technology is so simple and dependable, no water treatment
system or periodic deliming with caustic chemicals is required. It
is also the only boilerless steamer without a water quality
exclusion in its warranty.
More on the ENERGY
STAR Qualified Accu-Steam Griddle…
The Accu-steam Griddle
cooks with steam heat, delivers uniform surface temperatures at ± 3°
F of set temperature and recovery times of 10 seconds or less. Near
perfect uniform heating means no wasted griddle surface, higher
production capacity per foot of griddle and more consistent product,
even with inexperienced griddle cooks.
The Accu-steam Griddle is
ideal for any operator that wants to improve product quality and
consistency; increase production without increasing hood space;
reduce their equipment package; or improve operating efficiency,
with less skilled labor. More production in less space can also
reduce ventilation hood requirements and related energy and HVAC
operating costs.
Accu-steam gas and
electric powered, steam-heated griddles are available in 24-, 36-
and 48-inch wide tabletop models with 4” high legs or stand mounted,
with or without casters.
