STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION: Do not use any steel wool, abrasive or chlorine based products to clean stainless steel surfaces.

•Stainless Steel Opponents

There are three basic things which can break down your stainless steel’s passivity layer and allow corrosion to rear its ugly head.

1.Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, and steel pads are just a few examples of items that can be abrasive to stainless steel’s surface.

2.Deposits left on your stainless steel can leave spots. You may have hard or soft water depending on what part of the country you live in. Hard water can leave spots. Hard water that is heated can leave deposits if left to sit too long. These deposits can cause the passive layer to break down and rust your stainless steel. All deposits left from food prep or service should be removed as soon as possible.

3.Chlorides are present in table salt, food, and water. Household and industrial cleaners are the worst type of chlorides to use.

8 steps that can help prevent rust on stainless steel:

1.Using the correct cleaning tools

Use non-abrasive tools when cleaning your stainless steel products. The stainless steel’s passive layer will not be harmed by soft cloths and plastic scouring pads. Step 2 tells you how to find the polishing marks.

2.Cleaning along the polish lines

Polishing lines or “grain” are visible on some stainless steels. Always scrub parallel to visible lines on some stainless steels. Use a plastic scouring pad or soft cloth when you cannot see the grain.

3.Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners

While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an ever increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you are not sure of your cleaner’s chloride content contact your cleaner supplier. If they tell you that your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask if they have an alternative. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salts as they can attack stainless steel, causing pitting and rusting.

4.Water Treatment

To reduce deposits, soften the hard water when possible. Installation of certain filters can remove corrosive and distasteful elements. Salts in a properly maintained water softener can be to your advantage. Contact a treatment specialist if you are not sure of the proper water treatment.

5.Maintaining the cleanliness of your food equipment

Use cleaners at recommended strength (alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride). Avoid build-up of hard stains by cleaning frequently. When boiling water with your stainless steel equipment, the single most likely cause of damage is chlorides in the water. Heating any cleaners containing chlorides will have the same damaging effects.

6.Rinse

When using chlorinated cleaners you must rinse and wipe dry immediately. It is better to wipe standing cleaning agents and water as soon as possible. Allow the stainless steel equipment to air dry. Oxygen helps maintain the passivity film on stainless steel.

7.Hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) should never be used on stainless steel

8.Regularly restore/passivate stainless steel

TCGR-50, TCGR-50-CD specifications

True Manufacturing Company is renowned for its high-quality refrigeration solutions, and the TCGR-50-CD and TCGR-50 are prime examples of their commitment to excellence. These models are particularly suitable for commercial environments, including restaurants, bars, and catering businesses, where reliability and performance are essential.

The TCGR-50-CD and TCGR-50 feature a robust construction, crafted with high-grade stainless steel that not only enhances durability but also provides resistance to rust and corrosion. This ensures that the units maintain their pristine appearance over time while standing up to the rigors of commercial use. Additionally, the interior is designed with a bright, LED lighting system that illuminates the contents effectively, making it easy to identify products within.

One of the standout features of these refrigeration units is their advanced temperature control technology. The TCGR-50 and TCGR-50-CD utilize a digital temperature control system, allowing users to set and monitor temperatures with precision. This is especially important for preserving perishable items such as meats, dairy products, and fresh produce. The units can maintain a consistent temperature within a range suitable for optimal food safety.

Both models are equipped with a forced-air cooling system that promotes even temperature distribution throughout the cabinet. This technology not only enhances the efficiency of the refrigeration process but also helps to minimize energy consumption, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The energy-efficient design is in line with True Manufacturing’s mission to produce sustainable refrigeration solutions.

The TCGR-50-CD version includes a glass door that offers visibility of the contents while maintaining temperature integrity. This feature is particularly beneficial in retail settings, allowing customers to see displays without having to open doors and disrupt the cooling process. On the other hand, the TCGR-50 model features solid doors, which help maintain internal temperatures and are ideal for storage in environments where visibility is less of a priority.

Both models also come with adjustable shelving that provides flexibility in organizing contents based on varying sizes and dimensions. This adaptability makes the TCGR-50 and TCGR-50-CD highly functional for a range of applications.

Moreover, True Manufacturing's commitment to quality is reflected in their extensive warranty and support options, ensuring peace of mind for businesses investing in these refrigeration systems. With the TCGR-50-CD and TCGR-50, users can expect outstanding performance, energy efficiency, and durability, making them an excellent investment for any commercial kitchen or retail space.
