True's Latest Bar Innovations: Customization and Efficiency

At Rapids Wholesale Equipment, we’re always looking for ways to elevate our designs and offer the best bar equipment to our clients. That’s why we were excited to attend a recent training session with Chris Greenwood from True. The session introduced us to some fantastic updates to True’s lineup, including their new bar refrigeration systems and wine storage solutions. Here’s a breakdown of what we learned:

True’s New Bar Lines: The TBR & TDR Units

True’s latest bar lines—the TBR (True Bar Refrigeration) and TDR (True Draft Refrigeration)—are packed with features that offer greater flexibility and efficiency for bars and restaurants. One of the standout aspects of these units is their custom bars options, making it easier than ever to tailor the equipment to specific space and operational needs. Additionally, these units are more modular, giving operators the ability to configure their commercial bar setups to suit different layouts and workflows.

Key Features of TBR/TDR Units:

  • Hydrocarbon Refrigerant: True uses only natural, non-toxic eco-friendly refrigerant, which has no ozone-depleting properties and low global warming potential (GWP). This makes it one of the most climate-friendly and cost-effective refrigerants for cooling and freezing.
  • Electric Controls: For easy and precise temperature management.
  • Zero Clearance: No need for additional space on the sides and back, making it ideal for tight spaces.
  • Matching Heights: Ensures seamless integration with other equipment.
  • Front Breathing: Allows units to be placed directly against walls without worrying about airflow.
  • Field Reversible Doors: Flexibility in door direction based on your setup.
  • Door Locks Standard: Increased security for your inventory.
  • Stainless Steel Interior: Durable, easy to clean, and resistant to corrosion.
  • NSF7 Rated for Open Food Products (TBR units): Perfect for safely storing and displaying open food products.
  • Surface Mounted Draft Column & Drain Assembly: Enhances the bar’s workflow.
  • Air Divider for Chilling Column (TDR): Improves efficiency in keeping your drinks at the ideal temperature.
  • Reinforced Door Threshold: Adds durability to the unit.
  • Available Powder Coating: Custom color options for the front, sides, and countertop.
  • LED Lighting: With a convenient toggle switch to control the ambiance.
  • Panel-Ready Doors: Ideal for achieving a uniform look with other cabinetry.

The TBR and TDR units come in various configurations, with cabinet lengths ranging from 32” to 108” and options for one to four doors. Whether you need a compact single-door unit or a larger multi-door setup, True’s bar lines offer the flexibility to create a functional and stylish bar space.

New Wine Cabinet: Dual Zone with Residential-Grade Refrigeration

True also unveiled their new light commercial Dual Zone Wine Cabinet, featuring residential refrigeration inside. This innovative unit allows for optimal storage of wine at two different temperatures, catering to both red and white wine needs. A unique feature of these units is that you can combine up to three units, creating a cohesive, larger refrigeration setup that looks like a single piece. This unit is specifically designed for easy access and convenience in wine storage.

This energy-efficient refrigeration system is perfect for any foodservice or residential environment, offering a reliable solution for wine storage.
