Closing the Gap with IMC Filler Worktables
We’ve spoken about worktables & how they are essential for any commercial operation. However, there is one particular type of worktable that serves a primary purpose. They are filler worktables.
Simply put, IMC filler worktables maximize your commercial square footage. They expand capacity & increase your production. Most importantly, they fill those awkward gaps. IMC Filler worktables not only provide additional prep space, they also offer further storage locations for equipment.
So, what are the defining features of a filler worktable? Why are they referred to as the “ultimate gap closer”? Let’s take a look.
Narrow Profile – The #1 Defining Feature
We all know that worktables come in all shapes & sizes. For reference, standard IMC worktables can be sized up to an enormous 48″W x 144″L! For a filler worktable, the sizes are kept to a limit to maintain the signature narrow profile. Standard IMC filler worktables can be sized up to 36″W x 18″L. But, why keep the size so small?
The thin build makes it the perfect choice for the spaces between two pieces of equipment. For example, many units like conveyor ovens need side clearance & that unused space goes to waste. By using an IMC filler worktable, you can make previously unusable space into a valuable asset. Another advantage of the narrow profile is that you can connect or extend existing worktable space, creating a seamless workspace by taking advantage of those pesky gaps.
Stainless Steel Construction – The Best Material for Your Commercial Facility
All IMC filler worktables are constructed of high quality type 300 stainless steel. This means that your equipment can withstand years of heavy use & abuse, ensuring a long service life in your busy commercial environment. IMC filler worktables can also be constructed of 14-gauge or 16-gauge stainless steel based on your application requirements. Why stainless steel? It’s simply the most versatile material you can use.
Options – More Than Enough to Go Around
Standard IMC worktables are some of the most customizable pieces of equipment in the food service industry today. IMC filler worktables are no exception. Here are some popular options to consider for a filler worktable:
Backsplash – A backsplash helps protect your walls & floors from accidental spills that may occur throughout the active work day. The goal is to keep your contents neat & contained.
Undershelf – An undershelf is excellent for storing essential items. They allow you to keep everything you need close at hand for a smooth operation. Sometimes one undershelf may not be enough. IMC filler worktable may be equipped with an extra undershelf for added capacity. If an undershelf is not needed, crossrails may be substituted for maximum stability.
Adjustable Bullet Feet – Having your filler worktable at the optimal height & balance is crucial. Adjustable bullet feet allow you to level your table on uneven surfaces for the best possible stability.
Casters – Casters are a great addition for any filler worktable, allowing you to easily move around your unit. If you want to keep your worktable stationary, casters are available with brakes so the unit cannot be moved. Casters also let you move your worktable out of the way to clean the surrounding space.
