Innovation
With more than 60 years of expertise, Welbilt has built a reputation for delivering innovation that transforms the way professional kitchens operate. Since introducing the world’s first commercial microwave oven in the 1950s, Welbilt has continued to pioneer award-winning technologies that set new standards in performance, efficiency, and safety. From high-speed ovens to fully connected kitchen solutions, every product is designed with a deep understanding of the demands of modern foodservice and the unique challenges of marine environments.
Welbilt’s commitment goes beyond equipment – it’s about empowering chefs and operators to serve world-class cuisine while ensuring smooth, safe, and efficient galley operations. Every appliance is engineered with marine-specific features, such as glue-locked screws, high-quality stainless steel for long-term durability in corrosive saltwater environments, and door and tray restraints to secure equipment.
Special voltage configurations are also available, tailored to customer requirements, ensuring reliable operation in diverse vessel power systems. Combined with innovative technologies that maximise functionality, reduce energy and resource consumption, and streamline workflows, these features give crews the tools they need to deliver excellence at every service. This dedication to innovation and reliability has made Welbilt a trusted partner for galleys worldwide.
Environmental innovation at sea
At Welbilt Marine, we understand that protecting the oceans is just as important as serving world-class cuisine. That’s why every solution we design is built with sustainability in mind, ensuring that galleys run efficiently while meeting the highest global standards, including USPHS compliance. By engineering our equipment for cleaner, safer operations, we help operators reduce their environmental footprint without compromising performance.
Our appliances are designed to minimise water consumption, particularly during cleaning cycles. Combined with the use of environmentally friendly cleaning agents and a strict commitment to preventing the discharge of chemicals into the sea, Welbilt Marine solutions safeguard both crew health and the marine environment.
Energy efficiency is another core focus. From high-speed ovens to refrigeration and ice systems, every unit is engineered to use less power while maintaining maximum output. Lower energy demand means less fuel burned by the vessel. Together, these innovations deliver significant environmental benefits while helping operators maintain smooth, reliable galley operations.
KitchenConnect® is the award-winning open cloud solution for the food-service industry that improves efficiency, reduces costs, and enhances food quality. It offers an overview of the products cooked, peak demand hours, product utilization, and cleaning cycles. It allows cost savings through over-the-air recipe pushes and predictive maintenance ensuring less downtime while maintaining food quality through online food safety report retrieval.
Increased sanitation solutions
In marine environments where space is limited and food safety is paramount, Welbilt is committed to providing solutions that prioritise hygiene and sanitation. The Covid-19 pandemic underscored the importance of rigorous standards, and Welbilt continues to lead with technologies designed to minimise contamination risks while ensuring efficient galley operations.
Merrychef high-speed ovens exemplify this approach: NSF compliant and operating at temperatures around 500°F (260°C), they significantly reduce bacteria during the cooking cycle. With accessories and paddle systems that limit direct food handling, they simplify both food preparation and cleaning.
Other Welbilt brands also integrate advanced sanitation features.
Convotherm combi ovens include HygienicCare door handles with antibacterial surfaces and automated cleaning systems, reducing manual intervention and ensuring consistently high hygiene standards.
Scotsman ice machines use antimicrobial materials and self-cleaning functions to maintain pure, safe ice production.
Delfield refrigeration units incorporate easy-to-clean stainless steel interiors and smooth, seamless designs to prevent dirt buildup, while Garland induction systems reduce open flame cooking, lowering airborne grease and contaminants.
Together, these and many more innovations demonstrate Welbilt’s ongoing commitment to helping marine operators maintain the highest levels of food safety, cleanliness, and crew confidence at sea.
