The FLOW Line Collection – flight type machines reimagined for the modern era – is equipped with world-first patented technology; the result of Hobart’s long-term commitment to operator focused ‘customer-back innovation’ (CBI) making it 2025’s most anticipated launch.
The new range has been designed to completely simplify and standardise the warewashing process, setting new benchmarks in efficiency, energy reduction, labour, water, and detergent consumption whilst maximizing wash capacity.
When the manufacturer’s global research – part of its exacting CBI process – highlighted high staff turnover, lack of in-depth training and staff shortages as key pain points for operators, Hobart developed SmartVisionControl – patented AI-powered technology that can automatically detect incoming wash ware before selecting the best program to deliver clean dishes at the lowest running cost, irrespective of the operator.
The FLOW Line Collection also includes:
- Up to 40% reduction in rinse water consumption – less water usage means lower energy and detergent costs.
- Enhanced Automatic Soil Removal system – the machine can detect slight changes in water quality, only removing wastewater when completely necessary.
- Touchscreen control – ensuring a consistent, seamless, intuitive user experience across the entire range.
- Fewer components in the rinse chamber – reducing cleaning time and eliminating dirt traps.
- Universal curtains and color-coded rinse arms – enhanced simplicity and ease of use for operators
Chris Mansell, Hobart UK warewash product manager, said: “The FLOW Line Collection is the direct result of our dedicated customer-back innovation programme, designed to help operators address challenges in the kitchen with the help of new AI-driven technology.
“By optimising performance and streamlining processes, we’re giving operators the tools to reduce costs whilst maintaining the very highest standards of cleanliness and efficiency.”
In addition to simplifying the washing process for operators, Hobart has also reviewed its machine categorisation. The traditional PROFI and PREMAX tiers are now a thing of the past; operators can choose the best package to get the most from their FLOW Line machine by choosing only the features they need.
Customers can work with the manufacturer’s large warewash specialists to find exactly the right package to suit their requirements. To find out more, visit: www.hobartuk.com/flow.
