Moretti’s Forni’s S-series electric deck oven was also a stand-out feature of the exhibition as the series was awarded with the SMART Label.

The S-series was recognised for its huge 30% reduction in energy consumption as well as the new advanced control panel which allows for faster and more simplified use of the oven.
HOST is the ideal setting to showcase new products to meet the needs of a changing market and so Valoriani, in addition to exposing the full range of its professional ovens, presented the most recent Valoriani oven: BABY Valoriani.
The BABY Valoriani meets modern requirements as it is ready for use, light and portable, it can be fuelled by wood or gas. Even though it’s a family oven, it can be considered a mini professional thanks to the material and components used. It is truly professional quality in a domestic oven which drew the attention of visitors and made the oven a highlight of the exhibition. The BABY is available now in Australia and is the ideal addition to any outdoor entertainment area.
Staff Ice System had on show their range of ice cream machines, multifunction machines, batch freezers and ice makers. Staff also used the Milan exhibition to release a new product which was recently added to their range. The BTF/BTX series are electro-mechanical batch freezers with automatic extraction and advanced time control features. The new batch freezer series is a highly functional batch freezer designed for lower budget establishments. However, even at such an affordable price the new range includes features such as time control and integrated inverter technology that allows the machine to run unsupervised and while still producing amazing results.
Overall HOST 2015 was a successful show for all the Euroquip brands and the new products released are set to take the Australian market by storm; with the Baby already here and the other products on their way, the wait for these new innovations won’t be long!
