Extended product family for food transport

Next-Level Food Transport with B.PROTHERM

With the new B.PROTHERM product family, system supplier B.PRO (formerly BLANCO Professional) begins a new chapter in the area of mobile food transport containers. Spanning 23 stainless-steel models, the product family's development paid particular attention to efficiency, future compatibility and sustainability – with the uniform space between ledges of 38.3 mm, the interior of all 23 models enables ultra-effective and space-saving use. The connectivity function with optional integrated sensors mean that all B.PROTHERM models are future-ready for integration into the user's digital workflow. The B.PROTHERM models with convection cooling exclusively use the environmentally friendly and sustainable refrigerant propane R290.

Another key advantage is the wide variety of model variants: B.PROTHERM is available with convection cooling (from January 2022), neutral and/or with convection heating as single-compartment or duo or combi models as well as with new undercounter models (from March/April 2022). Duo or combi models with various temperature-adjustable cold/hot compartments will be available from June 2022.

The new B.PROTHERM product family was officially unveiled at the international trade fair HOST in Milan.

Wide range of models for diverse requirements

B.PROTHERM offers models in a neutral variant, with convection heating, with convection cooling and with combinations of these compartments. In order to meet the different requirements in food transport, the B.PROTHERM family offers models for both GN 1/1 and GN 2/1 banquet models for large quantities and plate service.

Twelve B.PROTHERM models with a single compartment are some of the classics for transport, stocking and serving, in addition to the practical undercounter models (convection-heated or neutral) for pushing under tables and counters.

Eleven of the B.PROTHERM models have two compartments and therefore two temperature zones. They offer even more flexibility for transport and temporary storage with the use of different temperature ranges in one unit. Models are available with a space-saving, stacked compartment arrangement (combi models) or with side-by-side compartments for large food quantities (duo models). The two separately adjustable compartments are also optionally available with convection heating or a combination of convection heating/convection cooling or convection heating/neutral.

Uniform space between ledges for efficient interior usage

All B.PROTHERM offer the user flexible utilisation of the interior for all GN depths – through the even spacing between ledges of 38.3 cm, all standard spacing dimensions (75 mm, 115 mm) are possible in one single unit. The B.PROTHERM models can therefore be loaded in the most practical, space-saving and efficient manner possible, whether GN 1/1 or GN 2/1. With the convection-cooled models, the intelligent placement of the refrigeration compartment means that even the ledges in front of the refrigeration compartment can be used. This creates additional volume.

Future-ready with connectivity option and integrated sensors

Through its connectivity options, all B.PROTHERM models are ready for the future with digital hygiene, temperature and process management. This enables the digital integration of workflows via integrated IoT sensors – depending on the built-in sensor technology locally via WLAN connection or using location-independent LTE technology. And through the QMspot app, the units can even be conveniently controlled via smartphone or tablet.

High-quality design, useful technology, many colours

All B.PROTHERM models have a sturdy body made of stainless steel. Deep-drawn from one single piece, the ledge walls have no sharp edges or hidden corners for dirt to gather, offering the best conditions for easy cleaning and optimum hygiene. Upon request, B.PROTHERM can be supplied in hygienic type H1 with tightly welded bottom and walls without seams.

The optional convenient door opening with foot operation not only ensures simple B.PROTHERM opening even with full hands, but also offers an additional hygiene advantage. A new air guidance concept achieves rapid, even heat and cooling distribution in the interior.

B.PROTHERM is also available in twelve different body colours for customisation and logistical coding.
