The R68 is a commercial electric contact grill built to toast up to 30 slices of bread per cycle in high-volume operations. It uses dual heated platens to apply uniform pressure and heat across large surface areas. Operators in hotels, buffets, and commercial kitchens use it during breakfast and lunch service to maintain consistent toast output.
Commercial Application
This unit solves the capacity problem in operations serving 100+ covers per service. A single operator loads multiple slices, closes the platen, and monitors cook time. The large cooking surface eliminates the need for multiple smaller toasters, reducing counter footprint and labour movement.
During breakfast rushes, the unit runs continuously with 90-second cycles. The 30-slice capacity means one load serves 15 guests simultaneously. Kitchen staff pre-load bread while the current batch finishes, maintaining flow without queue buildup.
Key Operational Advantages
- 4000 W electric heating element delivers rapid heat recovery between cycles
- 30-slice capacity processes 1200+ slices per four-hour breakfast service
- Large platen surface accommodates standard square toast or custom-cut bread
- Single-operator workflow reduces labour allocation during peak periods
- Hinged design allows one-handed loading and unloading
- CE-certified construction meets UK, EU, USA, and Canadian commercial standards
