The R79 is a 50 cm electric contact grill that processes panini, sandwiches, flatbreads, and pressed items under dual ribbed plates. It operates at 2000W on single-phase supply. Designed for burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens, and catering operations requiring high-volume pressed sandwich output.

Commercial Application

This unit functions as a dedicated contact grill station within commercial kitchen workflows. Operators load multiple sandwiches simultaneously, press with the top plate, and achieve consistent grill marks and heat transfer across the ribbed surface. The 50 cm width accommodates standard sandwich batches during peak service periods.

During breakfast and lunch service, the unit maintains continuous output without cool-down delays between batches. The ribbed plates create consistent sear patterns on panini, wraps, and pressed sandwiches. Operators can stage prepped items and process orders in under three minutes per batch.

Key Operational Advantages

  • 2000W heating element maintains consistent plate temperature during continuous batch cycles
  • 50 cm ribbed cooking surface processes four to six standard panini simultaneously
  • Dual-plate contact design applies uniform pressure and heat transfer across full sandwich area
  • Single-phase 230V connection integrates into standard commercial kitchen electrical infrastructure
  • Ribbed plate pattern creates drainage channels for fat and moisture during pressing
  • 27 kg construction weight provides countertop stability during press operation

Construction & Build Quality

The unit uses stainless steel housing for commercial kitchen durability. Ribbed cooking plates are cast material designed for thermal retention and consistent heat distribution. The hinge mechanism allows upper plate adjustment to accommodate varying sandwich thickness while maintaining full contact pressure.

  • Stainless steel exterior resists corrosion in high-humidity kitchen environments
  • Cast ribbed plates retain heat during repeated opening and closing cycles
  • Commercial-grade hinge assembly supports repeated daily press operations
  • Grease channels integrated into ribbed plate design direct runoff to collection area

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the cooking plates stainless steel or chrome-plated cast material?

A: The ribbed cooking plates are cast material designed for thermal retention and durability. The housing is stainless steel. Cast plates maintain consistent heat distribution across the 50 cm cooking surface during continuous batch operation.

Q: Does the R79 have separate temperature controls for top and bottom plates?

A: This model operates as a single heating zone controlled by one thermostat. Both plates heat to the same temperature setting. For independent zone control, separate dedicated units are required.

Q: How is grease removed during service?

A: The ribbed plate pattern creates drainage channels that direct fat and moisture runoff. A grease collection tray sits below the front edge. Operators empty the tray during service and perform full plate cleaning at end of shift.

Q: Can this unit be installed in a food truck or mobile catering vehicle?

A: Yes, the 27 kg weight and 50 cm footprint fit standard mobile kitchen countertops. Single-phase 230V electrical connection requires a generator or shore power supply rated for 2000W continuous load. Secure mounting is required for vehicle transport.

Q: What is the plate preheat time from cold startup?

A: The unit reaches operating temperature in approximately eight to ten minutes from cold. Operators switch on before service prep begins. Thermal mass in the cast plates maintains recovery temperature between batches.
