Energy costs are rising. Right now, nobody can say how they will develop in the future. Experts agree on one thing though: for now, costs are staying high for water, chemical products and especially for electricity. It is a relief that technology is moving forward. These days, we can use innovative technology to reduce electricity, water and chemical consumption while still washing hygienically.
Replacing an old machine with new, energy-efficient technology can reduce your operating costs. It is worth taking a close look at an operating cost analysis.
Case study: rack-type dishwasher
Model input data for the analysis:
Energy price: 0.25 €/kWh
Water price: 4 €/m3
Price of chemical products: 4 €/kg (detergent & rinse aid)
Operating hours: 6 hours/day
Operating days: 365 days/year

You can save up to 20 kWh with the novel energy system CLIMATE-PRO.
OUR CLEVER SOLUTION FOR YOU: The thermal energy contained in the exhaust air is 100% regenerated by means of state-of-the-art technology and returned to the rinse process. This not only helps you to reduce the energy consumption of your machine but also to save on the related operating costs.
BY THE WAY: As a result of constantly low exhaust air temperatures, the room climate is improved at the same time.
In this example, the investment in the heat pump has already paid for itself after 1.5 years.
And this is how it works:
A sensor in the wash tank continuously checks the quality of the wash water and regenerates it as necessary. Depending on the extent of soiling, water from the rinse is briefly fed into the main wash tank as required. The chemical dosing is adjusted to the tank regeneration.
The new super-economical rinse system ensures perfect results: the precise arrangement of the rinse nozzles and the fine atomisation of the fresh water in combination with an upstream drip section can reduce water consumption to up to 80 l/h.
