Windsor Food Machinery

WESTAWAYS

We are really pleased with the machinery we have just purchased from your company. Particularly the Thompson mixer grinders. I was a bit concerned at first having never heard of the machines before. However the Thompson 3000 is an excellent piece of kit, but is overshadowed by the 4000. As you know we were struggling with the 2 Hobart's we traded in against these 2 machines.

The throughput possible with the Thompson machines is astounding, and has totally cleared the bottleneck we were experiencing. This has been achieved without an increase in labour overhead; in fact they have released a pair of hands for half of the day.

As far as our sausages are concerned we have seen a marked improvement in the texture these machines afford. Being at the premium end of the sausage market we are continually looking for ways of improving our products. Because of the mixing action and the availability of twin speed we are able to play with the texture to get the desired result. Also because of the speed of mincing we have seen an improvement in temperature control, always an issue when making sauages.

THE ULTIMATE SAUSAGE MIXER - Well worth the money.

Finally, I would like to thank you and your staff for their help. A totally professional outfit, we shall definitely be doing business again in the future.

RUSSELL HUME CATERING BUTCHERS

We took delivery of the 2 Thompson 4200 and 4000 mixer grinders in December 2003 which were required due to the bottleneck caused by our older machines and increased throughput.

The build quality and finish are superb and they are more than capable of keeping up with our production requirements. Their reliability has been excellent.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Thompson mixer grinder to any forward thinking business and thank you for your professional service and installation of the above machines.

FIELD FARM FRESH

We contacted Windsor Food Machinery after experiencing problems with our existing machines and supplier. They promptly visited us and presented their recommendation for a Thompson 3000 mixer grinder. Since taking delivery of the Thompson all stainless steel 3000 machine it has transformed our sausage and burger making production. The speed we can now produce our mince, sausages and burgers save us considerable and valuable labour every week. The forward and reverse mixing is very efficient and ensures that we maintain a consistent mix every time. Another benefit is the height of the machine which makes loading and cleaning a very easy task.

Quite simply the Thompson 3000 miser grinder has proved to be an asset to our business, and as confirmed by our production staff, is a pleasure to use. We would have no hesitation in recommending this machine to any progressive business.

JON THORNER

Jon Thorner's Ltd is a retail/catering establishment with 4 outlets. Due to the reliability of the Thompson 3000 we have total confidence that all of our production requirements can be consistently met on a daily basis. The ease and speed of dismantling the Thompson 3000 for hygiene purposes is also a huge benefit. If like ourselves you are producing multiple species and products, the need for down time to be kept to a minimum is absolutely vital.

Loading products into the T3000 is easy due to access height. The mixing function has also become a great benefit for our sausage making. We also find that when stripping the machine there is hardly any wastage or product.

We would recommend the T300 very highly!

DENNIS OF BEXLEY

Just a few words of thanks for introducing me to the Thompson Mixer Grinders.  The machine is just great and I can not believe the amount of time it has saved me and the staff making the sausages.Because of the speed of throughput my sausages look much better and the shelf life has been increased.

My back has stopped aching now, as I don't have to bend over as I did previously with my old mincer. As the machine is made totally of stainless steel it makes cleaning easier and it is done in minutes.

My shop manager Tony say's "it's the best piece of machinery I've brought".

ALAN WOODWARD BUTCHERS 

Twice Great Britain's Champion Of Champions Sausage Maker, Alan Woodward of Henfield, West Sussex says, "I would like to express my thanks for the excellent machinery supplied to us, especially the Thompson Mixer/Grinder which has not only improved productivity but also improved product consistency.  I was very impressed by the handling of my original enquiry and the demonstration you arranged of the Thompson machine as well as the installation team's helpfulness.  I have no reservations in recommending both the Thompson Mixer/Grinder and Windsor Food Machinery to my fellow butchers."

MARCHANTS BUTCHERS

Since taking delivery of the Thompson 900E Mixer Grinder it has totally transformed the way we make sausages. It is so fast and efficient it frees one of my members of staff up to do other tasks. Its like having an unpaid butcher standing in the corner waiting to mince and mix sausages.

We previously did all our mixing by hand (over 600Kg a week!). We have raised our sausage price slightly and it has actually paid for the cost of the machine, without even taking into consideration the labour savings. We would seriously recommend this machine to any forward thinking businessman.

HAYWARD BUTCHERS

Spencer Hayward of Hayward's Butchers, Tonbridge says, " I purchased the Thompson Mixer Mincer 900 in April 2003.  I am extremely impressed with the overall design and construction of this piece of equipment.  We produce approximately 1000lb of sausages a week.  We estimate the Thompson mixer grinder saves us about 9 man-hours a week in labour taking into account our beef and lamb mince trade as well.  The end product is always consistent and our sausage sales have increased as a result of this.  The mechanism and structure of this machine make it very easy to operate and the cleaning process is simple.  I think the 900 model is exceptional value for money and produces superb end results."

J.WICKENS FAMILY BUTCHERS 

James Wickens of J. Wickens Family Butchers, Winchelsea, East Sussex says, " Just a short note to say how pleased we are with the Thompson 900 1 phase mixer grinder.  This is the best value piece of kit we have bought!  It saves us so much time and money due to its speed and efficiency.  The mince has a better bloom to it and the shelf life has significantly improved.  It now takes no time at all to make our mince, sausages and burgers.  We would recommend the 900 machine to anyone that has a decent mince and sausage trade.  Thank you for introducing us to Thompson!   

WILLIAM PERRY BUTCHERS

We're delighted with the performance of the 900E machine. It's quicker than any other machine we've used before. In fact it's so fast that we have a job to keep up with the product coming out the other end!

The machine is so easy to clean - in fact we can't fault it. It's only a pity we had to go all the way to Australia for a machine of this quality 

RATIONAL SELF-COOKING CENTERS

Using the Rational ovens could also not be simpler, they contain pre-set programmes, programmed by the experts. But we have also programmed our own methods, from cooking pastries to pate, this means that not a selected few can carry out these tasks, but every member of staff, all they need to do is select the programme and push start!

The Rational ovens have revolutionized our way of cooking, and have allowed us to run a more efficient and effective kitchen.

We have used a Rational oven for the past 4 years. It is a great asset to the small retailer enabling us to cook a wide range of product, from gammons to jam tarts. Helps to reduce weight loss when cooking meats. Will cook anything you throw at it, with ease. Self cleaning saves lots time and energy. The last thing you want to do at the end of the day is clean a greasy oven.

Roy A. Bevan

JC Rook & Sons

We have had the Rational ovens for the last nine months. All of the items that we have cooked during the day and also overnight cooking have been cooked to perfection. Also we have found that we have increased sales of all of our products.

David Hall

Haywards Butchers-Tonbridge

We have been using the new Rational SCC 101E oven for the past 2 years now & find it invaluable. It is easy to use and programme. We get a very good return on our cooking cost, previously in our rose Ham miser boiler we lost 30-35% shrinkrose with the correct programme we have got shrinkage down to only 17% now which is a huge saving on the 20 gammons we cook a week. We get superb products every time from this very reliable oven. The control panel makes it simple for any member of staff to use and it even washes itself after a days cooking!

We would have no hesitation recommending this to any progressive butchers business.

The Rational SelfCooking Center®

– it could revolutionise your cooking

Wouldn't it be great if your oven could think for itself? If it could turn out pies, roasts, pizzas, paté, deli products even sous vide or steam in the bag at the touch of a button. And if it could deliver perfect results every time. Hey, and maybe it could clean itself too!

If that sounds far-fetched, then you haven't discovered the SelfCooking Center® from Rational. You simply load it, tell it what you're cooking (pies, roasts, whatever) and it does the rest. No more programming, no more checking, no more basting. The Rational does the cooking while you get on with your work.

Perfect results? Yes. The SelfCooking Center knows exactly the best way to cook every dish – how much heat, how much steam, how long and so on. It makes sure the 'cooking climate' is perfect all the time, even adjusting its programme to compensate if you open the door half way through.

And at the end of a tough day, when the last job you fancy is cleaning the oven, the SelfCooking Center does that for you, too. Just pop the cleaning tabs in place, push the CleanJet button, and leave it to clean itself - perfectly.

Check out these other benefits:

• MINIMISE SHRINKAGE - because it uses steam, your joints don't shrink as they roast. Beautifully succulent, every time, and cooked just the way you want. Crisp on the outside and rare in the middle? The SelfCooking Center will sort it.

• EASY TO USE – Load it, push the button to select the food. That's it.

• MULTI TASKING – the SelfCooking Center will roast, poach, steam, bake, grill, steam in the bag. In fact it can cook just about anything, any way you want, automatically. You can even spit roast a pig or lamb.

• ENERGY SAVING – the SelfCooking Center only uses as much power and water as it needs, no more and no less. So it saves you money.

• OVERNIGHT COOKING – slow roasted joints are superb for flavour and succulence. You can slow-cook overnight, automatically, in the SelfCooking Center.
