The EGD20C is a double-ribbed contact grill used for pressing and grilling sandwiches, paninis, burgers, and flatbreads in commercial kitchens. It operates on 6kW single-phase power at 230V, delivering heat through cast iron plates controlled by thermostat from +50°C to +300°C. The self-balanced upper plate with adjustable pressure spring allows operators to adapt compression based on sandwich thickness and filling type.
Commercial Application
Contact grills reduce prep-to-serve time in fast-casual restaurants, hotel breakfast stations, and café environments where paninis and pressed sandwiches are menu staples. The EGD20C handles multiple sandwiches per cycle, providing consistent grill marks and even heat distribution across both ribbed surfaces. Operators use thermostatic control to match temperature profiles to bread type, cheese melt requirements, and protein doneness.
This unit operates during peak service periods when order volumes require continuous output without batch delays. The 570mm width accommodates two to three standard sandwiches simultaneously, depending on portion size. Cast iron plates retain heat between cycles, maintaining production pace during rush periods without temperature recovery lag.
Key Operational Advantages
- 6kW heating capacity across two 3kW elements for rapid temperature recovery
- Cast iron plates distribute heat evenly, eliminating cold spots on ribbed surfaces
- Adjustable pressure spring adapts compression force from 0.5 to 2 kg per square inch
- Thermostat range +50°C to +300°C covers low-temperature warming through high-heat searing
- Self-balanced upper plate maintains even contact without manual adjustment
- Juice tray collects fat and liquid runoff during cooking cycle
