Here’s Some Essential Stainless Steel Equipment to Consider for Your Pizzeria
Operating a pizzeria can present a number of different equipment challenges. From ovens to mixers to presses, it can be complicated to keep up with the demanding requirements. However, with the right stainless steel equipment, large or small pizzerias can stay ahead of the curve.
In this article, we’ll list out some essential stainless steel equipment for your pizzeria & offer up some IMC products to assist in your search. Let’s begin.
Worktables
Stainless steel worktables are vital in prepping & assembling your delicious pizza specialties & other dishes. Most worktables come equipped with an undershelf for extra storage. Other useful options include drawers, casters (for added mobility) & a drip pan/grate for those extra messy crumbs.
Size & capacities for worktables vary. Try to figure out the volume of pizza for your operation as well as the kind of toppings you will offer to find the right configuration.
IMC’s Solutions:
Model #WT is the standard model for performing all of your prep tasks. WT can be 14 or 16-gauge type 300 series stainless steel. Model #WTB is similar to the above except it has the addition of a 6″ high backsplash to protect your walls from splashes and/or damage.
Mixer & Equipment Stands
Mixer & equipment stands are all about mobility & offer a home to your heavy machinery to lie on. Equipment such as spiral mixers, dough dividers & dough sheeters can be cumbersome. Mixer & equipment stands alleviate this problem single handedly. Most mixer stands come equipped with undershelves & pan slides so you position trays of dough until they’re ready to be baked. Most mixer & equipment stands also have a lower height so you can easily operate your machinery.
IMC’s Solutions:
Model #SMT is IMC’s standard model consisting of a 14-gauge type 300 stainless steel top, 18-gauge undershelf & 5″ casters. Model #SMTS is similar to the above, except it includes additional 14-gauge tray slides welded to the legs.
Model #SMTT includes an integral tool tree to hang your most essential utensils on. Finally, Model #SMS features the tool tree plus a flush open cabinet body & marine edge.
For equipment stands, IMC offers Model #EST, which has a 14-gauge stainless steel top & 18-gauge undershelf. With a low height of 24″, EST enables you to easily operate your most unwieldy equipment during service hours.
Lastly, Model #ESTP is tailor made for pizzerias. The unique design with removable perforated top area enables you to capture all crumbs & scraps, allowing you to easily dump the waste into the trash. Standard back & side splashes are also ideal for keeping your walls & floor clean.
Tray Carts
If you operate a large pizzeria, transferring & carrying dough throughout the facility is vital. This is where tray carts can really save the day. Tray carts come with tray slides so you can neatly stack rows of dough into one unit.
Tray carts are enclosed & insulated, meaning your freshly made dough can keep warm & safe for use. When finished, tray carts can simply carry those empty trays back to your baking area.
