Equipex Foodservice Equipment Solutions
Today's restaurant concepts, food trucks, and cafes often face rising building and equipment costs, tight kitchen spaces, and increased demand for fresh food. They must develop innovative tactics to overcome challenges, increase production, and maintain compliance with safety regulations. Equipex offers equipment that fills a unique niche in the market, providing compact countertop solutions for adaptable commercial use.
Space Solutions
One of the top challenges in modern commercial kitchen design is maximizing countertop kitchen space. This is an obvious hurdle for food trucks, small cafes, and concession stands, but even restaurants with large menus face limited kitchen space. Equipex offers standard cooking equipment, such as convection ovens, griddles, and fryers in compact, countertop sizes. Though these units provide less output compared to larger equipment, they enable quick turnaround when paired with careful prep and strategic placement. They can also be used for dedicated tasks, such as allergen-friendly cooking, in larger kitchens.

Equipex Convection Ovens - Durable Countertop Baking
Offered in quarter-, half-, and full-size configurations, Equipex convection ovens can accommodate up to four full-size sheet pans. They're equipped with standard commercial oven features, such as thermostatic controls, two-speed fans, stainless steel construction, and durable wire racks. Full-size units come with humidity control and high-speed quartz finishing elements for rapid browning.
Equipex Griddles - Compact and Self-Contained
Equipex griddles feature one, two, or three independently controlled cooking zones and come in a variety of cooking surfaces, including enameled steel, cast iron, and chrome-plated steel. Side splashes simplify cleanup and can be installed in nearly any kitchen layout.
Equipex Fryers - Supporting Small Frying Tasks
Equipex fryers are small units with 10- or 15-pound oil capacities, though the largest model can accommodate a full-size frying basket and cook up to 50 pounds of french fries per hour. Ideal for ready-made snacks, these fryers perform well in food trucks or snack shacks.
Energy & Cost Solutions
Equipex exclusively sells electric cooking equipment that runs on 120 or 208/240 volts. More efficient than most gas-powered units, these small units heat up quickly and encourage cooks to maximize use with efficient batch cooking. Equipex also offers a large catalog of induction units, including countertop hobs, drop-in ranges, wok ranges, griddles, and warmers. Commercial induction burners are often faster and more efficient than traditional gas or electric cooktops, reducing kitchen energy and labor costs. Equipex equipment is also priced accessibly, making it more accessible for small or startup kitchens.
Versatile Cooking Solutions
Equipex is known for manufacturing a unique countertop ventless hood system. This modular unit can fit small appliances, such as panini presses, griddles, and induction burners, enabling ventless commercial countertop cooking. They're ideal for areas that can't accommodate ductwork or for cooking setups positioned away from the main cookline. Easy to clean and operate, these systems can be placed side by side to create compact cooklines.
