Rubikap Polycarbonate Tabletop Service Equipment

Rubikap is a Metplas A.Ş. brand developing polycarbonate glasses, stemware, plates, compartment trays, pitchers, ice buckets, and tabletop presentation products for professional service areas. Metplas began operating in engineering plastics in 1988, and has specialized in polycarbonate tabletop service equipment since 1994.

Alongside reusable polycarbonate products, Rubikap's portfolio also includes multi-use polystyrene and single-use service products. For this reason, not every product on the brand page should automatically be assumed to be polycarbonate or unbreakable. Material type, product code, and usage instructions should be checked individually.

Service Areas Where a Glass Look Is Not Preferred

Polycarbonate glasses and stemware are considered for businesses such as poolside areas, beaches, outdoor events, children's areas, sports facilities, and busy self-service points, where glass breakage creates additional risk. Lower weight can help staff move more items at once when carrying trays.

Polycarbonate products behave differently from glass under impact, but they are not scratch-proof or unlimited in lifespan. Abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, an unsuitable dishwasher program, and products rubbing against each other can cause the surface to dull. The service life of the equipment depends on cleaning and stacking practices.

With clear products, the beverage's color and fill level are visible. Frosted, colored, or opaque options are aimed at different presentation concepts. Color choice can also be considered for how easily products are separated in the bar, dish room, and service area.

The Casablanca, Avanos, Premium, and Prizma Glass Families

Rubikap's glass range on Mutfak10 includes different body shapes such as Casablanca, Avanos, Premium, and Exclusive Prizma. Volumes range from espresso and shot service to soft drinks, beer, wine, and cocktail presentation. The same series can include different sizes such as 200, 250, 300, 400, or 450 ml.

Stackable models help glasses be stored in a smaller space by nesting into each other. To prevent glasses from locking together or scratching, the stacking height specified by the manufacturer should not be exceeded. Leaving wet products nested for a long time can make drying and hygiene more difficult.

On stemmed wine and cocktail glasses, the joint between the bowl and stem requires care during handling. Using polycarbonate can reduce breakage risk, but overloading a service tray with product does not eliminate the risk of tipping and deformation.

Form in Choosing Compartment Trays, Plates, and Pitchers

Rubikap's compartment tray products offer sectioned service layouts with different numbers of compartments. The compartments help separate items such as the main dish, garnish, salad, and dessert on the same tray. Compartment volumes should be compared against the business's standard portions.

In flat, deep, square, or round plates, the intended way of serving the product is the deciding factor. Rim height matters for soups and liquid dishes, while base area matters more for open buffet and snack presentation. Using a very large plate can affect dishwasher rack capacity and storage space.

For pitchers and carafes, handle, lid, and pour spout should be evaluated alongside volume. Whether the beverage is served cold or hot should be compatible with the permitted temperature range of the plastic type used.

Washing and Stacking Setup

The product's suitability for a professional dishwasher should be checked against the technical instructions. Very high wash temperature, heavy chemicals, or a long drying program can affect the surface of some plastic products. Polycarbonate, polystyrene, and PET products do not share the same washing conditions.

Glasses should be placed in the dishwasher facing down, in a way that does not block water from reaching the surface. Using a suitable glass rack for narrow products limits tipping. Products should not be stacked closed on top of each other before they are fully dry after washing.

Products that are scratched, cracked, have formed a sharp edge, or are worn enough for the surface to hold food residue should be removed from service. A replacement plan should be run based on surface condition, not just the number of broken items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all Rubikap products polycarbonate?

No. Alongside reusable polycarbonate products, Rubikap's portfolio also includes polystyrene and single-use plastic products. The material type should be confirmed from the product name and technical information.

Can Rubikap polycarbonate glasses be washed in a dishwasher?

Many professional polycarbonate products are developed to be suitable for repeated washing, but program temperature and chemical intensity should be checked based on the model. Abrasive sponges and unsuitable detergents can dull the surface.

What does a Rubikap stackable glass mean?

Stackable glasses have a body geometry suited to nesting into each other to reduce storage space. Products should not be left nested for a long time while wet, and the stacking height recommended by the manufacturer should not be exceeded.
