Case Study: Wood’s Centra, Dobbin road

The Solution

Having listened carefully to our client requirements, we designed a solution incorporating some of the most energy efficient, and user friendly equipment available. We were able to offer a unique and innovative alternative to existing systems available in the market. Instead of the normal 10 tray combi oven, we installed 2 state of the art 5 tray stackable Unox Combi ovens, with programmable control, automatic wash systems and a new touch screen control system, that uses the actual glass door of the oven as the keypad. The advantage of two ovens is that different methods of cooking can be in progress at the same time, for example frying and grilling in one while vegetables are steamed in the other.

Also they can be put through a wash cycle alternately without causing disruption to the cooking process. To these we added a humidified hot holding cabinet; this can be programmed through a linked control system from the main oven. It is designed to hold food for extended periods at the correct temperatures without excessive drying.

For the hot and cold display, a bespoke counter was designed and built incorporating graphics, accent lighting and a polished hardwearing countertop. A 6-gastronorm wide hot display cabinet provides long lasting merchandising of cooked products without excessive drying out or product deterioration. This was matched to a 4-gastronorm tray wide cold display with various inserts and tray sizes matched to the client’s exact requirements.

The Result

The client now enjoys a modern, efficient deli kitchen installation, which is energy efficient, cost effective and reliable. The Deli is able to produce and display a huge variety of food, of a consistently high quality. The display counter and deli area in general is an attractive addition to the interior of the shop and adds to the overall modern, well designed ambiance of the store.
