Roband Commercial Equipment Repair | National Appliance Repairs
Roband is proudly Australian-made commercial kitchen equipment. Toasters, sandwich presses, milkshake makers, contact grills, bain maries, hot dog warmers, pie warmers -- the workhorse gear of cafes, takeaways, and food service venues. Roband has been manufacturing in Sydney for over 60 years. The equipment is built for Australian kitchens to handle Australian food service demands.
When a Roband toaster won't heat, toast orders pile up. When a contact grill fails, sandwiches can't be made. When a bain marie loses temperature, food safety suffers. We've been repairing Roband commercial equipment for 15+ years. We know these machines and how to fix them fast.
About Roband Commercial Equipment
Roband: 60+ Years of Australian-Made Reliability
Roband started in 1959 with a milkshake mixer built in the family garage. The company has grown into one of Australia's most trusted manufacturers of commercial kitchen equipment. Today, Roband designs and manufactures a wide range of benchtop appliances used in cafes, restaurants, takeaways, and catering operations across Australia and worldwide.
Every Roband product is designed and built in Sydney to exacting standards. The equipment uses quality stainless steel construction, reliable American components (like Robert Shaw controls), and straightforward mechanical design. Roband gear is built for performance and longevity -- it's engineered to last in busy, demanding commercial kitchens.
Roband products are known for simplicity, durability, and value. But even quality equipment breaks down from heavy use. Motors wear out. Thermostats drift. Heating elements fail. When something stops working, it needs expert service.
