Question

Could you ask the members if they know anyone that can sand down a painted 60qt mixer and respray it with food safe white paint?

Replies

2. I was once advised that you could not do this as the paint my end up flaking off and going in the mixing bowl…
3. Please contact Dominic of Caterquip on 01733 777778. He refurbishes equipment.

Question

We are looking at specifying an electric 5kg coffee roaster in the ground floor of a 10-storey building. Cannot vent externally due to being listed so has to go to roof.
Manufacturers literature refers to flammable products being given off during the process and very high temperature of the exhaust gasses. Also chaff collection.
Does anyone have any experience of installing these and how the extract system functions safely?

Replies

1. We have used these in the past from Fracino but re only small.
   They do however require ducting due to the smoke as a result of the final roasting process
2. he issue that your member has is something that I have dealt with before. Ventilation for this type of operation can be achieved but it doesn’t come cheap as the extract duct will most likely need to be fire rated right through the building as well as needing other specialised plant.
   Happy to help if I can.Best Regards,Steve Cole.

Question

Can the membership recommend any project management software that they are happy with?

It needs to be able to manage multiple projects, be able to schedule staff as a resource but for a smaller business so will only need up to 10 user logins. I expect it will be web based but even better if is app based too.

Sorry, there aren’t any answers for this question at the moment, please check back at a later date

1. As far as I’m aware we’ve never been asked, if this is through a main contractor could they “piggy back” on their system ?
