Driven by need and opportunity, the HVAC industry is reinventing itself daily, pushing operators to look for ways to enhance kitchen efficiency and productivity throughout the day.
Hoshizaki America, Inc.’s new refrigerated Pizza Prep models do just that, designed with four new key features to combat current restaurant owners’ difficulties.

Incorporating new technologies
“The team has done a fantastic job,” said Kris Miller, the Vice President (VP) of Engineering, Hoshizaki America, Inc., adding “Working together to streamline manufacturing processes, along with incorporating new technologies, to bring more value to our customers.”
New features include:
- Night/day mode – When the lid is open, the set point drops to keep food cool in the rail. When the lid is closed, the set point returns to normal so food can stay in the rail overnight without freezing – saving labor costs of removing food from the rail each night and back in the morning.
- One-piece pan rail design – Protects the cabinet and is easy to clean.
- Dual controller with single refrigeration system – For separate temperature controls for both the rail and cabinet; adjustable for every operation.
- Optimal airflow in rail – Back to front airflow through louvered ducts directs cold air around each pan, both 4” and 6” in any configuration, for consistent, precise cooling for all food products from cheese, greens, produce, sauces, etc.
- Removable air filter – For easy cleaning and better operation.
Models are available now in 46-inch and 60-inch options. Models in 67-inch and 93-inch sizes will be available in the third quarter (Q3) of 2022.
