Follow on Google News | Hot Wheels for Hot MealsMoffat launches versatile meals on wheels system NACC Conference 2010, Hilton Blackpool, 15 – 17 September
By: Toni Turner “Being an electric system means it’s very safe, easy to operate and reliable,” says Gary Allen, sales director. “We’ Moffat’s core MoW system comprises of the oven, which runs off a specially designed inverter, the vehicle (as specified by the client) and special trays that hold the food safely, with no spills. The trays, like the ovens, are bespoke designs, built to match the client’s specifications. The system on show at the NACC Conference uses a Ford Connect van and is one of the new fleet for Monmouthshire County Council’s meals on wheels service. The vans also have a refrigerator that stores additional chilled meals, for later regeneration, and cold dishes such as salads and cold sweets. “The systems have to be bespoke, because there are so many variables,” explains Gary Allen. “For example, the oven capacity depends on the customer requirements, product type and van size.” Other variables include how many people are catered for by each vehicle, the number of runs, the distances and whether the system is cook chill or hotline. Because it can regen en route, the Moffat system allows one vehicle to serve more customers over a longer period of time, saving staff time and costs. “By putting a refrigerator into the vehicle, each driver can do two or more ‘delivery runs’ without returning to base,” says Gary Allen. “When all the meals from the first batch have been delivered, the driver simply loads up the oven with the second batch, from the fridge, and starts off again. “Despite being a bespoke build, our Meals on Wheels system is very competitively priced,” he adds. “Its flexibility and cost savings will give buyers an excellent return on investment.” E & R Moffat is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of quality foodservice equipment, designing and manufacturing in-house.
