The first highlight of the international partner events on the company's 50th anniversary was the presentation of the iCareSystem AutoDose - an integrated solid cleaner system as an option for the iCombi Pro tabletop units. Cleaner and care products are securely stored in the cooking system in solid form, enabling autonomous cleaning, either at the push of a button or according to a schedule. Theodor Tumbrink, Vice President Product Management at RATIONAL, summarises the advantages as follows: "iCareSystem AutoDose increases work safety, saves time and ensures HACCP hygiene safety. Unlike many other solutions, there is no need for hoses or canisters outside the cooking system." The new cleaning system is also the highlight of the RATIONAL stand at Host, the international trade fair taking place in Milan in mid-October.

RATIONAL presented three innovations at eight international events held from 26 September to 17 October at its headquarters in Landsberg am Lech. The market leader for hot food preparation inspired around 800 dealers, service partners and other multipliers from all over the world with its game changer iVario Pro, an innovation in the iCombi Pro, solutions driving digitalisation in the professional kitchen, as well as a world premiere. In doing so, RATIONAL demonstrated the pioneering role it has played in the industry for the last 50 years.
“Our development team has succeeded in combining the three technologies of steam, hot air and microwave in such an intelligent and adaptive way that this extra power - for the first time on the market - can be used across all rack levels in a 6-1/1 cooking system," Markus Paschmann explained in his presentation. The result is an absolute specialist: "It was developed with a clear focus and as a supplement to the existing product range and geared to the special requirements of selected businesses. The iCombi and iVario continue to be the best solutions on the market for most customer requirements," continues Paschmann. According to RATIONAL, a gradual introduction is planned in spring 2024, with further information on technical details to follow in time for the launch.
