Wash more, save more

Dishwashers for hospitals & healthcare
July 30th 2008

Winterhalter's new Energy+ energy-saving pass through dishwashers are now available with TwinSet, a space-saving option for hospitals and other healthcare sites looking to save on energy costs and save space at the same time.

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 (there is only one control button) means even 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.
