The new saladette delivers increased storage capacity, greater efficiency, better hygiene and has zero CO2 emissions.

Adande is pleased to announce today the expansion of its range for 2021 with a new model Saladette. The saladette is a double drawer Adande unit with integrated saladette server.

The saladette unit has been remodelled for 2021 following feedback from Adande customers across the hospitality sector. The new saladette design has been reconfigured to  hold more produce, increase operating efficiency, and improve hygiene.

The base is a side-engine two-drawer Adande fridge, with the top drawer integrated to the saladette, enabling the operator to hold make-up produce in readiness. The saladette can  be switched off when not in use, and the refrigerated drawer will still operate as normal. The bottom drawer is a standard Adande fridge/freezer drawer, giving further capability for busy venues.

Spanning the full width of the refrigerated drawers, the new saladette server has 20% more holding capacity than earlier Adande models. As a result, it can accommodate an additional 1/3 gastronorm pan.

With a new look for 2021, the server shape has also been updated, with a front-facing slope that is angled towards the operator to give easier and quicker access to produce. This key feature will be invaluable for outlets where time is of the essence such as takeaways, and dark kitchens, as well as busy hotels and restaurants. Attention has also  been paid to the aesthetics of the unit, with its appearance enhanced to improve prep area presentation when kitchens are in customer view.

In  keeping with Adande’s green credentials, the new saladette model uses a natural refrigerant, with zero CO2 emissions. It is also very efficient and uses less energy than other saladettes on the market.

With a focus on kitchen hygiene, the new server front is made of a single piece of high-grade stainless steel built into the plating up area, removing any potential for dirt-traps and allowing easy cleaning.

As Global Sales Director, Karl Hodgson comments:

“We are happy to launch today the new saladette model. Not only does it look fantastic and will be a great addition to any kitchen where food prep is on view, it performs excellently, the server holding more produce, delivering efficiency in the speed of serve, all whilst using less energy and without contributing to CO2 levels. It’s hygienic and can be controlled independently to the drawers below, meaning when it is empty you can simply switch it off, again saving energy usage. We would like to thank our customers whom we consulted with on the new design for their time and input. “

The 2021 new saladette model is available to order now.  ceda Members are encouraged to contact their Adande Account Manager for further information and assistance.

The Adande Sarma open-display refrigerated cabinet achieves C grade energy classification

Adande Refrigeration Ltd, the company known for its award-winning ‘hold-the- cold’ refrigerated drawers, announced on 22nd June 2021 its new 4ft integral, open-display retail cabinet, the Adande Sarma, has achieved a C rated energy label, as per the new 2021 Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Legislation.

The legislation was itself introduced to steer purchasers towards more energy efficient products. The regulation has been defined so that no products should be rated in bands A-C, (based on benchmark data taken in 2014) in order to leave room for improved product development by manufacturers. The Adande Sarma cabinet scores significantly better than other open cabinets of a similar size, currently on the market today.

The Sarma open-display cabinet which allows shoppers to get close to products unhindered and without the impediment of a glass door, has achieved this new energy classification thanks to the ground-breaking Aircell technology it is powered by. This new revolutionary airflow management system retains the cold air within the cabinet ensuring a constant temperature and humidity. It provides better energy performance than cabinets fitted with shelf edge air guides and uses energy similar to that of cabinets with glass doors, but with the benefit of easier accessibility and greater opportunities for food sales. The stable temperature through the cabinet will extend food freshness and reduce waste, even in the harshest environments.

Global Sales Director, Karl Hodgson comments:

“The Sarma cabinet is a real winner for retailers who are energy conscious, are looking to avoid ‘cold-aisle syndrome’ for shoppers.In addition, with an open cabinet you not only remove the viral touchpoints of glass doors but also the cleaning and maintenance costs associated with them too. Little wonder that brands such as Yo Sushi! use them, especially when they can save up to £550 per year in energy use per 4ft cabinet, compared to standard E rated models, and £850 compared to F rated units. The reduction in energy, that an Adande Sarma cabinet gives, meaningfully supports an organisation’s sustainability agenda and helps reduce their carbon footprint.’

Managing Director of Applied Design & Engineering, Ian Wood adds:

“We are really pleased that the integral open display cabinet has achieved a good first energy grading, thanks to the Aircell technology within it. Aircell has proved itself as an innovative solution that can be deployed for air management at sustainable, low energy usage. Aircell has won multiple industry awards and has demonstrated it is a valuable asset that can significantly enhance the performance of open display cabinets. We are excited for the future with more exciting products to come.”
