Why Choose Aluminum Foodservice Equipment?

Image
Did you know that aluminum was once worth more than gold? It’s the most abundant metal on Earth, but early on in its history, it was difficult and expensive to extract from ore, refine, and process. Lucky for us, 19 th century physicists, chemists, and engineers paved the way for efficient processes that led to the development of the strong, lightweight, noncorrosive, recyclable material we know—and depend on more than we realize—today. This rare combination of properties makes aluminum a natural fit for foodservice equipment, and New Age Industrial has got it down to a science! 1. It’s lightweight and easy to push.

Coated or painted wood tends to peel or chip over time, especially with heavy use, regular cleaning, and friction from items like #10 cans.  One employee may overzealously scrub the paint off in an attempt to keep shelves clean, while another may clean too gently so they don’t damage it. Others may skip it entirely because it’s too much work, and it looks the same whether they do it or not. Unfortunately, if the paint or coating is chipping or peeling, there's no telling where it will en...
