Introducing OmniBlend blenders JTC OmniBlend high performance blenders have been around since 1996, and available in South Africa for over 10 years. OmniBlend South Africa was established in 2011, and based on our experience with the JTC OmniBlend brand since then, we can confidently say that this blender has stood the test of time. OmniBlend is now a trusted blender in the hospitality industry. OmniBlend blenders are used in catering, restaurant kitchens, bars, and even laboratories, for blending food and drinks. Food enthusiasts are opting for OmniBlend in their home kitchen, as domestic blenders don t last, and don t offer the blending capacity that an OmniBlend does. High Performance & Durability The 3 horsepower motor has been designed to endure long hours, and heavy use, essential to the hospitality industry. The high-quality components along with the lightweight, polycarbonate jug make it a reliable blender for commercial use. The jug is fitted with a stainless steel blade bearing, as is the drive socket. This ensures strength and durability. Value For Money High Performance blenders have become an essential item in any restaurant, bar and coffee shop for adding value to a business. As such, blenders shouldn t become a financial burden. The OmniBlend blender is the most economical commercial grade blender that is durable and easy to maintain in the long run. We offer a 3-year warranty, limited to 1 year on the blades, and our excellent after-sales service track record makes us a preferred supplier. Versatility The combination of the jug design & motor capacity makes the OmniBlend a versatile kitchen appliance for a wide range of purposes. Whipping up smoothies, iced coffees and cocktails, and blending smooth sauces, dressings, soups, pastes, and pesto is a breeze. Crushing ice cubes, nuts and seeds is easy, and the 2 ltr jug is suited for grinding dry ingredients too. Customer Reviews Don t take our word for it! We have received much feedback from the industry, vouching for the product and our service. Neil Jewel, Head Chef of Bread & Wines, at Môreson (Franschhoek): I use the blender for Caesar salad dressing, sweet potato red curry, salt baked kohlrabi puree, parsley puree, mebos and carrot chutney, fermented red cabbage gel, popcorn dust, grinding seeds for breads, smoked almond puree, gazpacho She works hard! It s a great blender, and I ve been in the industry for over 20 years, but I ve have never come across a service like received from OmniBlend.

Introducing the three OmniBlend models The OmniBlend I, III and V models have the same 3 horsepower motor, and it is just the operating panel that is different. The preferred model for different purposes is explained in the next section. Below you find a summary of the differences. Which model is best suited for you? The model best suited for your needs depends on what you will be using it for, and in what kind of environment. We ve listed some typical uses, and the recommended models: Bar /coffee shop: Restaurant kitchen / home use: Catering: OmniBlend V (timer settings that allow for multi-tasking, as the blender switches off automatically, or operate manually using the 3 speed settings) OmniBlend I (with a turn dial for variable speed control, to fully control the process of blending sauces, dressings, etc, and a pulse for a quick chop) OmniBlend III (just high and low speed setting, requires little training with great results) All models fit both the 1.5ltr and 2ltr jugs. The difference between the jugs is explained next. www.omniblend.co.za 5
The difference between the jugs The blender comes with a jug and tamper. Spare jugs can be purchased separately. Jugs are made of lightweight polycarbonate, which is extremely durable, and easy to clean. The jugs come in 2 sizes: 1.5 litre (square) and 2 litre (round). Both jugs are suited for blending liquids, and can crush ice cubes. The 1.5ltr jug is better suited for thick drinks (smoothies, freezos that take a lot of ice cubes & frozen fruits) as it has a wider base, which works better for that type of use. This jug can be used in combination with a sound enclosure. The 2ltr jug can also grind dry ingredients (the 1.5ltr jug is not suited for this), and because of the narrow base the jug works well for blending smaller quantities like spreads, hummus, and nut butters. The 2ltr jug is also the best choice for sauces and purees. The blade assembly can be replaced when the bearing is worn. No new jug has to be purchased, again making OmniBlend an economical choice in the long run. Colour availability All OmniBlend models are available in black, white or maroon www.omniblend.co.za 6
When to opt for a Sound Enclosure? The sound enclosure reduces up to 70% of the noise levels. It's ideal for restaurants or wherever extra quiet is preferred. Its unique design covers the entire blender giving it maximum sound proofing. The sound enclosure only fits the 1.5ltr models. The 2ltr jug cannot be used in the sound enclosure (too tall). Pricing For pricing please refer to our online catalogue where pricing is kept current. Online pricing is inclusive of VAT, and delivery is free for orders over R1,000. After-sales & Warranty: where to go for maintenance? The OmniBlend blenders come with a commercial warranty and a domestic warranty. Commercial: 3 years on the blender, limited to the blade assembly (1 year). Domestic: 3-year comprehensive warranty (optional 7-year warranty). For any maintenance enquiries you can contact us directly. We keep spare parts for repairs, and repairs can be completed in 1 working day of receipt of the blender. Spare parts can be ordered online, and service requests can be logged online too. Where is the blender made? OmniBlend South Africa has been representing the JTC Omniblend blenders since 2011, and developed a close relationship with the manufacturer. The JTC Omniblend blenders (since 1996) are made using original Taiwanese engineering and design, ensuring optimal quality & durability, and assembled in China. OmniBlend blenders are best-sellers in Australia, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, and over the years local customer feedback has confirmed the durability and performance for use in South Africa s catering and hospitality industry. www.omniblend.co.za 7
