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 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. Jim Lund, Director of iCombi 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 containers outside the cooking system." The new cleaning system was also the highlight of the RATIONAL stand at Host, the international trade fair taking place in Milan in mid-October.

RATIONAL presented three major innovations at eight international events held from September 26-October 17 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 innovation for the iCombi Pro, new digital solutions for the professional kitchen, as well as a world premiere.
“Our development team has succeeded in combining the three technologies of steam, hot air, and microwaves 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-half 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, geared to the special requirements of select 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.
