The Secret to Maintaining a Mobile Bowl Stand
Mixing bowls are used for a variety of tasks such as marinating meat, blending soups, mixing batters, tossing salads & so on. These specialized bowls need a special place to be held during service. That’s where mobile bowl stands come into play. As for IMC, we manufacture Model #MBS to fulfill your mobile bowl stand needs. What is the right way of maintaining one though?
In this article, we'll review 3 maintenance tips for a mobile bowl stand so it is always in the best condition. Let the tips commence.
1. Frame Check
Mobile bowl stands have a circular cutout on the surface where your bowl will be placed during service hours. Make sure there are no dents on the edges of the cutout. Any imperfections could mean your bowls not fitting into place correctly.
Aside from this, tray slides may be installed on the legs of mobile bowl stands. Make sure these tray slides are straight & unobstructed. An undershelf is also installed on the bottom of the bowl stand – check for any damage if necessary.
2. Caster Check
A mobile bowl stand would not be mobile without casters. With that said, make sure your casters are always travelling smoothly without hiccups. To ensure this, inspect the wheels for cracks or excessive wear & replace as needed. Remove any obstructions that may hinder movement. Test the brakes for operation.
Casters may need occasional lubrication so apply a dry film lubricant if you are noticing your casters making loud squeaking noises or hitching up during travel.
3. That’s Right – Clean It!
With the amount of ingredients in these mixing bowls, the stand itself will undoubtedly become soiled with residue & debris. Constant cleaning of the mobile bowl stand will ensure that the product is hygienic & pristine.
Remember – no harsh cleaning chemicals or tools! Use a soft sponge & mild dish soap in a pinch. In extreme cases where the stand is absolutely covered in residue, you’ll want to achieve a more thorough cleaning. This can be done using a microfiber cleaning towel & an all-around cleaner such as baking soda. Leave no stone unturned.
