Overview

Blue Seal IN512R5-B Evolution Series 450mm Induction Cooktop - Bench Model

The Blue Seal IN512R5-B Evolution Series is a 450mm bench-mounted commercial induction cooktop featuring two independent 5kW round induction zones, each 270mm in diameter, delivering a combined 10kW of power. Manufactured in New Zealand from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, this freestanding unit is built to withstand the demands of high-volume restaurant, café, hotel, and hospitality kitchen environments. A 6mm thick ceramic glass cooking surface provides a durable, hygienic platform that is straightforward to clean and maintain.

Induction technology transfers heat directly into compatible cookware rather than heating the surrounding air, resulting in faster heat response, reduced ambient kitchen temperature, and lower energy waste compared to gas or conventional electric cooktops. Each zone is independently controlled via a large, easy-to-use knob offering infinitely variable power settings, while an automatic pan detection system shuts off the induction zone the moment cookware is removed, boosting both safety and energy efficiency. Indicator lights for heating status, pan detection, and error conditions give operators clear at-a-glance feedback during service.

Key Benefits

• Rapid, precise heat response allows faster cooking cycles and more consistent results across busy service periods.
• Automatic pan detection cuts power to a zone immediately when cookware is lifted, reducing energy consumption and improving kitchen safety.
• Induction heating directs energy into the cookware rather than the surrounding environment, keeping the kitchen cooler and more comfortable for staff.
• Infinitely variable power control on each zone lets chefs dial in exact heat levels for boiling, simmering, sautéing, frying, and other cooking techniques.
• The 6mm ceramic glass surface is smooth and non-porous, making post-service cleaning quick and straightforward with minimal downtime.
• Independent dual-zone control means two different dishes can be cooked simultaneously at entirely different power levels without interference.
• Compact 450mm bench-mount footprint suits kitchens where space is limited, and the freestanding design allows flexible placement on workbenches, chef bases, or modular cooking suites.
• Heavy-duty stainless steel construction and commercial-grade components support reliable long-term operation in demanding, high-throughput environments.
• Forced air fan cooling keeps internal components within safe operating temperatures, prolonging unit lifespan and reducing service requirements.
