HOBART: SPARKLING SOLUTION

Shifting the focus from cooking to cleaning, HN talked to Markus Bau, sales director, HOBART, a leading brand in the professional dishwasher market, about new innovations and how they are changing the face of the industry.

The first machine designed for cleaning large volumes of tableware employs the C-line conveyor dishwasher system, Bau explained. “Kitchen managers are under pressure due to the ever-increasing operational costs,” he said. “Our dishwashers directly address this matter, while also consuming significantly less energy, water and detergent than similar models in this category.”

The PREMAX CP sports the highly efficient ‘Rack-flow’ system, which unites the various operations previously conducted by several people into a single machine operated by one. The machine can be loaded along its entire length without interruption, eliminating unnecessary spaces between the bins. The ‘Infotronic Control’ system offers all the important information relating to the mode and the operating states, such as temperature and electricity consumption. Lastly, the ‘Dynamic Dry’ feature uses state-of-the-art ventilation technology, delivering higher airflow rates and ensuring irreproachable deep-drying results, eliminating the need for manual wiping. This entire process also reduces detergent consumption by up to 70 percent.

PREMAX FP, a machine designed for smaller venues, uses 60 percent less water than conventional machines, employs VAPOSTOP technology in the drying process and, in turn, guarantees fully hygienic wash results. “The two-in-one double rack system can process up to 90 racks/h (45 plate racks + 45 glass/cup racks), due to its optimum use,” Bau said.
