Common Questions About Cambro
What is Cambro?
Founded by brothers William and Argyle Campbell, Cambro began manufacturing high-quality hospital trays in 1951. Since then, the family-owned company has become a leading provider of equipment and supplies for the foodservice industry, including the healthcare, restaurant, and catering sectors. Cambro Manufacturing is headquartered in Huntington Beach, Calif., with an additional manufacturing plant in North Carolina and international offices in Germany, China, and Turkey.
What is a Cambro hot box?
Hot boxes, or insulated food transporters, are some of the most popular types of Cambro catering equipment available. Cambro's engineers understand that every restaurant and catering operation has different needs and budgets, so the company offers a number of food carrier lines, including CamCarriers, Ultra Pan Carriers, S-Series Ultra Pan Carriers, CamCarts, and GoBoxes.
How long does food stay hot in a Cambro food carrier?
Cambro catering equipment includes several food carrier options, and most are capable of holding hot or cold food at safe temperatures for as long as 4 hours. Tests conducted on non-electric models by Cambro have shown the carrier's contents lost an average of only 3 degrees Fahrenheit per hour.
Is Cambro BPA free?
Most Cambro catering equipment, such as products made of polypropylene, polyethylene, SAN, and ABS plastic, do not contain BPA (Bisphenol A). However, Camwear food pans are made of polycarbonate, a material that does contain BPA.
Which Cambro Camshelving series do I need?
Cambro hopes to provide operators with "Shelving for Life" with three Camshelving options: Basics Plus, Elements, and Premium. All types of Camshelving are protected by a lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion and have been tested to withstand temperatures ranging from -36 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit, so these shelving series are suitable for walk-in coolers and freezers, dry storage areas, and utility storage applications.
Shelving from the Camshelving Basics Plus series is an economical choice that is only available as a stationary unit, with a maximum weight capacity of 1,800 pounds. The Camshelving Elements series has a 2,000-pound weight limit and is available in stationary, mobile, and undercounter configurations. Camshelving Premium shelving boasts the same 2,000-pound weight capacity, but is available in stationary, mobile, and high-density units.
Accessories designed to improve a Camshelving unit's weight capacity, versatility, mobility, and security are available.
