Meal distribution systems

Patient catering is an essential factor in connection with the management of hospitals and clinics. ascobloc offers here a complete program of devices for logical meal distribution. In the so-called classic food distribution, the meals prepared in-house are portioned on a conveyor belt and then distributed to the wards by means of insulated transport trolleys. If a central kitchen (caterer) supplies several hospitals, this is done using the "cook & chill" method, which in turn requires special technology. ascobloc offers solutions for both systems.

Dispensers and distribution trolleys of this type have been in use in the largest and most modern hospitals and nursing homes for many years. Mature technology based on longstanding experience creates confidence and satisfaction!
