Ametek National Controls Corp., the food industry’s leading supplier of electronic cooking controls, added eight-channel and 16-channel cooking timers to its line of Next Generation commercial kitchen appliance controls.

Designed to meet the demanding real-world challenges found in today’s commercial kitchens, the compact, versatile timers offer a host of competitive features and advantages including easy-to-read dual LCD displays, USB port for quick and simple program updates, and multi-channel operation with up to 64 cooking channels.

The versatile, cost-effective timers provide restaurant operators maximum flexibility, reduced operating costs, and ease of operation. Their unique graphic display ensures consistent cooking quality while an easy-to-read design makes training simple even for relatively new kitchen staff.

Pre-set cooking times and functions are loaded onto the timers before they leave the factory. In addition, the timers are field programmable.

Menu information can be easily updated using a USB flash drive that is not offered on competitive products. This allows users to quickly and easily add new products to the menu or adjust times for best product taste and appearance.

The timers feature a universal keypad with six touchpad multi-functional buttons that control all functions in Program mode and cooking channel buttons. A dual-language display capability simplifies training and operation, making the timers ideal for today’s work environment.

The timers are RoHs compliant and a flush-mounted version is available. Heavy-duty stainless steel construction ensures long life and reliability.
