School Foodservice Equipment to Support Remote Learning

If your school nutrition program has had to quickly adapt to supporting a remote learning model of any kind, odds are good you’ve been down this road before. Odds are also good that it was challenging and stressful.

If you’re looking for ways to streamline your meal distribution process to make it easier this time, please keep reading.

From brand new products, adaptations of existing models, and ways to re-purpose equipment you may already have, here are a few ideas to consider.

Hand and Surface Sanitizing

The new Mobile Handwash Station from Cambro provides completely touchless, sanitary hand washing without the need for plumbing or electrical hookups. 

With a foot pump that activates the flow of water, the Mobile Handwash Station can provide approximately 200 hand washings per tank. 

You can even add an optional personalized graphic on the front of the station.

NewAge Industrial’s Foot-Activated Sanitation Stands are 100% touchless. Hands-free operation protects against cross-contamination by allowing the user to apply hand sanitizer without having to touch the bottle or the stand. 

This free-standing rust-proof aluminum station has an adjustable bottle holder that can be moved in ½" increments to fit any standard 1-gallon plastic pump container.

Nu-Foamicide is a highly concentrated solution that packs 32 gallons of cleaning and disinfecting solution into a single, one-gallon container. Once diluted with water according to the manufacturer’s instructions, it can be used in a bucket or basin, trigger spray bottle, or an electric sprayer. 

Approved by the EPA to fight against COVID-19, it cleans and sanitizes hard, non-porous surfaces reducing 99.999% of bacteria and viruses. It’s made in USA by Glissen Chemical and distributed by TableCraft.

Drive-up Grab and Go

NewAge Industrial Bagging Carts are like an extra set of hands to help your team quickly load and transport school meals and groceries for curbside pickup or delivery. Stainless steel hooks on both sides of the cart can be spaced to accommodate any size of handled bags.

The Cambro Vending Cart CVC75 creates an instant pick-up station that can be used now for meal pick-up and later for de-centralized student feeding programs, breakfast, grab and go snacks, and concessions.

Optional 6" and 12" extenders are also available to add height. Side barriers enhance safety and protect merchandise.

When it comes to capacity, the cart’s top open well can be used for staging or holding up to five full-sized food pans, while three spacious storage compartments below hold back stock and supplies. You can also outfit the cart with new graphics at any time to keep it looking fresh.

Food Holding, Transport, and Delivery
