The choice and installation of industrial hobs is a key step in the design of a professional kitchen. In contexts such as large kitchens, structured restaurants, company canteens, hotels and catering, every technical decision has a direct impact on the productivity and reliability of the entire hot food department. The characteristics of the equipment determine the organisation of workflows, service times, the quality of preparations and the level of safety for staff.
Design and layout: the basis for the installation of industrial hobs
Proper installation of industrial hobs always starts with a precise analysis of the space, production volumes and type of cuisine offered. The layout of the equipment must ensure ergonomics, operational continuity and ease of cleaning, without neglecting regulatory aspects related to safety, ventilation and systems. Industrial hobs need to be integrated coherently with hoods, gas or electric lines, work surfaces and passageways, avoiding bottlenecks and interference between the different stages of work. It is essential to consider the kitchen as an integrated system. The installation of industrial hobs must interact with the rest of the line, reducing unnecessary movements, improving work organisation and helping to create a safer and more functional environment.
The importance of installing industrial hobs for reliability and operational continuity
Installing industrial hobs in a professionally correct manner means protecting your investment over time, improving operational performance and providing your team with reliable tools they can count on every day. In a professional kitchen, where the pace is fast and the workload is high, equipment must guarantee continuous operation, precise temperature control and the ability to adapt to different types of service. Modern catering requires flexibility, power and temperature control, but also robust construction and ease of maintenance. In a large kitchen, a machine breakdown is never just a technical inconvenience: it is an operational problem that affects service and costs. For this reason, the installation of industrial hobs must be entrusted to professionals who can guarantee not only correct assembly but also compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications and current regulations.
Desco solutions for industrial hobs
6-burner hobs
The 6-burner hob is an extremely versatile solution for professional kitchens that need to manage multiple preparations simultaneously. It allows chefs to work on different dishes using different temperatures, improving work organisation and reducing service times. When installing industrial hobs, it is important to choose a location in a central area of the cooking line that is easily accessible and well served by the extractor hood, so as to ensure operational comfort and safety.
The 6-burner hobs in Desco’s V7 line are available in open or hermetic versions. Heating is provided by cast iron burners with double crown brass flame spreaders, designed to ensure even heat distribution. The cooking powers of 3.5kW, 5kW and 8kW are adjustable via a practical ergonomic knob. It is also possible to combine an oven, positioned in the compartment below the burners, to create a compact and functional workstation. Thanks to the rounded corners and removable grease trays, cleaning is simplified.
H3 1200 mm frytops
Alongside traditional industrial hobs, more and more professional kitchens are incorporating equipment dedicated to specific cooking tasks, such as electric frytops. The 1200 mm model from the V7 range is designed to withstand high workloads without compromising on quality. Its large cooking surface allows large quantities of food to be cooked evenly, making it ideal for organised food service, hotels and catering. The frytop can be configured with smooth, ribbed or combined plates to suit different types of preparation. It is equipped with a removable fat collection tray and a splash guard to make cleaning easier.
