Commercial Kitchen Company stocks one of Australia’s largest ranges of commercial toaster grills, contact grills and panini presses — from a compact single press on a café counter through to multi-slice toaster grillers for high-volume service.
The range covers Roband, Anvil, Birko, Woodson, Hatco and Cobra. Choose first on plate surface — smooth for paninis and pressed sandwiches, ribbed for grill marks, or a ribbed top over a flat bottom — then on capacity and power. Most electric grills run on a standard 10A circuit, with larger machines needing 15A; the gas griddle toasters run a burner instead.
Roband spare parts and consumables are stocked alongside the machines, so a worn sheet or clip does not put a grill out of service. Both showrooms are open to the public and floor stock changes — call 1300 CKC 000. SilverChef equipment finance is available on eligible equipment.

A contact grill is one of the highest-throughput machines on a café bench. Work through plate surface, capacity, how the top plate handles thickness, and the circuit it has to run on.
Smooth plates cook evenly and clean quickly — the default for paninis, focaccia and pressed sandwiches. Ribbed plates leave grill marks, which suits steak sandwiches, char-marked vegetables and venues where presentation matters. Combination units pair a ribbed top with a flat bottom. Some smooth models accept a set of grill-pattern plates that sit under the grill sheet to produce a crosshatch, and non-stick coatings are widely offered.
Presses come as single or double units; a double roughly doubles the cooking surface and usually carries independent heat control for each side, so you can hold two temperatures at once. Grill stations step up to six- and eight-sandwich capacity in one machine and can generally run top-and-bottom or bottom-plate-only. Toaster grillers are rated in slices and offer multiple rack positions. Match capacity to your peak shift, not your daily average.
A spring-loaded, self-balancing top plate adjusts to whatever thickness goes under it. A counter-balanced top with a load limiter reduces the weight bearing on the food, and some contact grills add user-adjustable plate pressure. A stainless plate spacer holds a fixed gap between the plates, which is useful for delicate products such as croissants.
The electric grills and grillers here are single phase, generally drawing between about 8.5A and 15A depending on size. Most sit on a standard 10A circuit; larger machines want a 15A outlet, so check the amperage against the circuit before you order rather than after delivery. Gas griddle toasters are the exception — they run a gas burner rather than a power circuit, so allow for the connection.
Roband covers grill stations and toaster grills, with spare parts and consumables stocked alongside them — PTFE sheets, retainer clips, extended grease channels, rear tilt stands, plate spacers and grill-pattern plates. Birko builds contact grills and quartz toaster grills with cast iron cooking surfaces and stainless construction. Anvil covers sandwich and panini presses plus Belgian waffle bakers. Woodson covers glass-element toaster grillers and contact grills with dual digital timers and adjustable plate pressure. Hatco adds a panini grill and portable food warmers, and Cobra supplies gas griddle toasters in 600mm and 900mm.
Our team has 35 years specifying contact grills into cafés, sandwich bars, delis and quick-service venues across Queensland. Both showrooms are open to the public. SilverChef equipment finance on eligible equipment. Delivery, installation arrangement and electrical connection can be quoted alongside the equipment.
Smooth plates deliver even cooking, easy cleaning, and consistent presentation — ideal for paninis, focaccia, and pressed sandwiches. Ribbed plates produce visible grill marks for steak sandwiches and char-marked vegetables — preferred where presentation matters. Combination units pair a ribbed top with a flat bottom, as on the Anvil panini presses and the ribbed-top Roband Grillstations. If you only want grill marks occasionally, a set of Roband aluminium grill-pattern plates on a smooth machine will do it without buying a second unit.
Anvil presses come as single units (340 x 225mm cooking surface) or doubles (480 x 225mm), and the doubles carry independent heat controls for each side. Roband Grillstations are rated at six or eight sandwich capacity in a single machine — so a "6 slice" or "8 slice" figure describes how many sandwiches fit at once, not how many plates the machine has. Woodson and Roband toaster grillers run to four, six, eight and 15 slice. Size on your peak shift rather than your daily average.
The units here are thermostatically controlled rather than fixed. The Birko contact grills operate between 60 and 300°C, and the Anvil panini presses are thermostatically controlled up to 300°C. Roband Grillstations use a precise thermostat with even temperature distribution, and the digital-timer models hold four individually adjustable pre-set times up to 10 minutes — which is what keeps different menu items consistent across operators. Set the plate temperature against the product rather than running everything at the maximum.
After each service: scrape plates with a wooden or plastic scraper while still warm, wipe with damp cloth. Daily: deep clean using contact grill cleaner (never abrasive scourers — they damage non-stick surfaces). Weekly: empty and clean the grease box, drip tray and crumb tray, and check the top-plate mechanism for play. Roband PTFE grill sheets are reusable and stocked in 10 packs — they stop food sticking and stop spillage baking on or carbonising onto the plates, and replacing a sheet costs far less than recoating a plate. Annually: certified electrical service inspection.
It depends far more on cleaning and on how the plate surface is treated than on the badge. Non-stick coatings and PTFE sheets are the wear items, and heating elements and top-plate mechanisms are the usual failure points. We stock Roband spare parts and consumables — PTFE sheets, retainer clips, rear tilt stands, plate spacers, aluminium grill-pattern plates and extended grease channels — so a worn part does not mean a new machine. Ask us what is available for the model you are considering before you buy.
