Dishwashers save space and money
August 1st 2008 Winterhalter's Energy+ energy-saving pass through dishwashers are now available
with TwinSet, for sites looking to save both space and energy
Winterhalter's TwinSet system joins two standard
warewashing machines together to increase dishwashing
capacity in peak periods. With the system in operation the
hoods of both machines can be opened at the same time, so they can
be loaded and unloaded simultaneously or in quick succession to
effectively double capacity, while during quiet
periods one unit can be switched off to save
even more energy.
The GS500 Energy+ series of dishwashers
recover exhaust heat from the steam and
hot wastewater and return it to heat the
incoming cold water.This not only
slashes heating costs, but
by condensing the steam
to recycle its heat, it also
removes the need for a
separate extractor and
makes working conditions
in the wash area much
more pleasant.The Energy+ system reduces the total connected load
by up to 6kW.Winterhalter estimates Energy+ can save as much as
£1,095 per year on a single machine, and this figure is expected to rise
along with electricity costs.
GS500 Energy+ machines are capable of washing up to seventy
large (500x600mm) racks of dirty dishes per hour.Their ease of
use (just one control button) means untrained staff
can operate them.
The system is designed to increase the flexibility
of warewashing by providing the capacity of a
conveyor model when needed.The
TwinSet's second machine can be
coupled or uncoupled in an instant
so as not to incur the cost of
installing a full rack conveyor
system, or running a second
machine during quiet periods. More articles from Winterhalter UK: |
