Offenburg – “Sometimes double doesn’t make sense. Sometimes it does.” This is HOBART's slogan for promoting their latest invention: The world's first TWO-LEVEL-WASHER. The newly developed dishwasher by the world market and innovation leader for commercial warewashing equipment has a second wash chamber for simultaneous washing. This means two levels are available for double the washing volume. It is another great benefit that the TWO-LEVEL-WASHER with its compact design does not take up more space in the kitchen than a conventional dishwasher. The new product will be available from early September.
Manfred Kohler, Vice President Sales and Manufacturing of HOBART GmbH, says that this unique washing solution offers great potential to relieve kitchen staff thanks to its increased capacity. "At peak times, the kitchen is always incredibly busy, and dishes must be washed fast to be ready for reuse quickly. Here, our TWO-LEVEL-WASHER makes a real difference because it can wash twice the amount of dishes in the same time. This is a huge relief for the scullery staff."
Maximum flexibility: washing different wash ware at the same time
Whether plates, coffee cups or GN pans: The HOBART TWO-LEVEL-WASHER not only increases the volume but also the flexibility in terms of different types of wash ware. For example, while porcelain plates are being washed in the upper level, the bottom chamber of the dishwasher provides space for saucers, pans, cooking pots, cutlery or salad bowls. The kitchen staff save lots of time and have different wash ware ready for reuse when they need it.
Space-saving wash organisation: Suitable and functional for every scullery
Heavily encrusted food on cutlery and cooking utensils is one of the most challenging tasks. To clean the wash ware, manual pre-treatment in a sizeable sink is usually required. The space for this, however, is often not available in small kitchens. "Our new TWO-LEVEL-WASHER impresses not only with its compact design, but also with its range of several wash programmes. Thus, while cups and plates are washed in the upper chamber, heavily soiled wash ware such as pots, pans or cutlery is washed in the bottom chamber with the specially developed utensil wash programme," Kohler explains. Thanks to the extended washing duration, the soaking effect is integrated into the washing process, the Vice President says. Pre-treatment of the wash ware is therefore no longer necessary. Up to three racks can be washed in the upper wash chamber at the same time.
HOBART WASHSMART app: Key features at a glance
With the new HOBART WASHSMART app, a comprehensive overview of the status of your TWO-LEVEL-WASHER is available at a glance. Among other features, the app informs the user well in advance of maintenance due dates and indicates the current operating costs and chemical consumption. Based on this data, the user can avoid standstill and re-order consumables directly via the app. It is also possible to contact the HOBART customer service or an approved service partner directly. WASHSMART furthermore provides illustrated instructions so that users can troubleshoot minor faults themselves.
