With space at a premium in modern kitchens, the machine’s two wash chambers offer flexibility. At peak times, for instance, a utensil wash programme can take care of heavily soiled pots, pans and cutlery in the lower compartment, while up to three racks of dishes can be washed on a separate programme in the upper level.
The specially designed utensil wash programme also eliminates the requirement for manual pre-treatment of heavily soiled ware in a separate sink, the space for which is often not available in smaller sites.
Crucially, though the machine’s capacity may be double that of a conventional hood-type, the water and detergent usage remains the same.
The Two-Level Washer’s water consumption is monitored constantly via Hobart’s senso-active resource management function. For low amounts of soil, water consumption remains low; when it detects increased levels of soil, it increases water levels, helping to reduce operating costs by 20% when compared to a conventional machine.
Tim Bender, sales director at Hobart’s equipment division said: “Some four years in research and development, the two-level washer demonstrates Hobart’s superior innovation prowess in action. The machine is not only the decade’s most important launch, it represents the future of warewashing – the very embodiment of doing more with less.”
To mark the launch, and for a limited time only, Hobart will be offering end users £500 cash back on the purchase price of the new machine (terms and conditions can be found at www.hobartuk.com).
Hobart won the Sustainable Catering Equipment Award from the FCSI (Foodservice Consultants Society International) for their Two-Level Washer.
