Eglfing/Herborn, Germany (February 19, 2024) – Welbilt, a member of the Ali Group and the leading provider of professional kitchen equipment, presents energy-efficient and sustainable gastronomy concepts, products, and features to address current challenges at this year's INTERNORGA – Hall B7 Stand 212 – as well as intelligent solutions such as the "Cook, Chill & Finish" process.

Hans-Werner Schmidt, Managing Director of Welbilt Germany, explains: "We are pleased to be represented at INTERNORGA again this year. In Germany, for the first time we have the opportunity to introduce our new brands, Crystal Tips and WMAXX. At the same time, we are presenting the latest innovations for HORECA, shops, and branch operations from existing brands: Merrychef, Convotherm, Delfield, and Frymaster. Our wide range of gastronomy and large kitchen equipment, as well as innovative concepts, enable us to offer a tailored solution to create a profitable future for all segments."

Convotherm presents its maxx pro combi oven family, which meets the highest standards in design, manufacturing, operation, reliability, and service. Innovative technology "engineered in Germany" and high user-friendliness define the Convotherm philosophy of IntelligentSimplicity. The maxx pro floor-standing oven is also being showcased at the booth with a new integrated smoker for hot or cold smoking in large quantities. In addition, the team will demonstrate how the maxx pro family benefits from an improved Steam Management System, which reduces water consumption during cooking by an average of up to 45%.

Also included is the maxx pro ConvoSense, the world's leading AI-controlled combi oven. The Artificial Intelligence enables automated cooking without manual program inputs. The result: significant time and energy savings, as each product is automatically cooked using the optimal program. "The maxx pro ConvoSense is already in use in more than 1,600 units, making Convotherm the market leader in the field of visual and automatic cooking," says Arndt Manter, Director of Product Management at Convotherm.

The Merrychef conneX® high-speed ovens are particularly suitable for HORECA, shop, and branch gastronomy. With up to 80% faster cooking times compared to other methods, they represent the new generation of hybrid high-speed ovens and are an essential part of the Gastro Concept 4.0, the "Cook, Chill & Finish." Introduced for the first time in Germany at INTERNORGA is the conneX®12e, the ideal high-speed oven for mini-meals and snacks, with no waiting time.

The "Cook, Chill & Finish" process is an intelligent gastronomy concept that Welbilt extensively presents at INTERNORGA. It ensures maximum profitability and efficiency. The equipment trio consists of Convotherm combi ovens for pre-cooking at gourmet quality, Delfield blast chillers for HACCP-compliant preservation, and Merrychef high-speed ovens for instant final cooking.

For the first time in Germany, the new sustainable ice makers from Crystal Tips are introduced, with purely natural refrigerant. The high-quality stainless steel ice machines are characterized by easy handling thanks to the IceWorld app. In addition,  the ice makers have impressive production and storage capacity combined in a compact and functional design. Highest cost-effectiveness through innovative and energy-saving technologies is guaranteed. They are also HACCP-compliant for cleaning, sterilizing, and maintaining. The Crystal Tips ice maker family consists of different devices for various types of ice such as cone ice, hollow cone ice, cube ice, flake ice, nugget ice, and shard ice.

At the Welbilt booth, other brands are also available to be explored: the new Welbilt brand WMAXX with a wide range of dishwashers, Delfield rapid chillers and blast freezers, and the well-known quick-service brands Frymaster, Garland, and Merco.
