Adapting to International QSR Equipment Procurement Strategies

QSR brands adopt different procurement strategies, impacting the role of distributors. Some buy directly from manufacturers, while others rely on full-service distributors or self-consolidation for international expansion. Understanding these models helps distributors align their services, offering flexibility, logistics, and strategic partnerships to support global QSR growth.

The function of a high limit in a fryer

The hi-limit in a fryer is an essential safety feature that shuts down the fryer when the thermostat fails to regulate the temperature. It prevents overheating by cutting off gas or electrical supply when temperatures exceed safe levels, protecting against fire hazards. Addressing frequent tripping indicates possible thermostat failure or electrical issues, requiring immediate attention.

Preventing Hi Limit Tripping When Using Solid Fat in Fryers

To prevent hi-limit tripping in gas, electric, and computer-controlled fryers when using solid fat, wrap the fat around fire tubes or heating elements, minimizing air gaps. Start at the lowest thermostat setting, and gradually increase the heat after the fat melts. Even with automated fryers, this precaution ensures efficient melting and prevents overheating.

  • Isolate Power & Gas Before Servicing Commercial Gas Equipment

    Isolating power and gas is the first, most important step before cleaning burners, opening a gas train, or touching any ignition components. Done right, it prevents unexpected ignition, fuel release, shock, and equipment damage. This post gives technicians a precise, repeatable procedure you can embed in your SOPs. What “Isolate Power/Gas” Means Why both? Many

  • Reducing exhaust to improve yellow or lazy flame

    Why reducing exhaust can help (in some cases) Think of the kitchen as an air-balance equation: Exhaust (out) – Make-Up Air (in) = Pressure deficit (ΔP). In short: you’re not “adding oxygen” by reducing exhaust — you’re removing excessive suction so the oxygen already being supplied can actually reach the burners without being whisked away
