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. Aluminum weighs 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter, which is less than half the weight of iron, (7.8 grams per cubic centimeter).  New Age Industrial Utility Carts , Dollies , Platform Trucks , Mixer and Slicer Stands and Dollies help your team transport heavy loads without adding to them. 2. It’s versatile. An important advantage of aluminum is its ease of fo...

Tips for Storing and Dispensing Ice Cold Draft Beer

Beer has been bringing joy and refreshment to the world for thousands of years. Exactly how long is a subject of debate and continued research, but we know it’s been around somewhere between three and ten thousand years. That’s some serious staying power! Once a beverage enjoyed cold only during northern winters and by the elite who could afford to import ice or snow from alpine lakes and mountain tops, it’s hard for us to imagine beer as anything but a cold beverage.  We rarely even think about how lucky we are to get to enjoy it ice cold until we are served a pint that’s lost its chill. Pressurized metal beer kegs, introduced in the 1950’s, were a game changer, making mass production, storage, and transport of the world’s most popular alcoholic drink more efficient than ever. With a capacity of about 15½ gallons, a full-sized keg holds the equivalent of almost 7 cases of beer or 124 pints, which reduces waste while making beer sales more profitable for high-volume operations....
