Merco Visual Holding Cabinet with Tray Tracking Technology
Everyone knows how timers work. You set them, and they count down. Merco’s new Tray Tracking Technology takes it up a notch. Insert a tray and the timer starts automatically and counts down—and if you need to move the tray, the timer electronically stays with it, tracks to the new location, and continues counting. This innovation is another example of how Merco creates intelligently efficient designs to help customers give guests the consistent, high-quality food they’ve come to expect.

Manitowoc Ice Indigo^® NXT
Ice production and efficiency - the Indigo NXT line achieves both. How? By using innovative refinements never seen before in US icemaking; efficient rotary compressors combined with an environmentally-friendly R410a refrigerant. In fact, Indigo NXT produces roughly 50 lbs. more ice daily and is on average 11% more efficient than models using R404a. We’ve taken our heritage of experience and expertise to produce this next generation ice machine – and we can’t wait to show you the Indigo NXT in action.
