Imagine the scene: you’re deep into service and dozens of diners have already finished, while a second sitting begins to put in their orders. You start to prepare new dishes, when you realise your pans and crockery are piled in the sink, unusably dirty. It doesn’t matter if you’re a fine diner, local pub or corner cafe, every kitchen has been there.
It’s a common problem in hospitality – how to ensure you always have enough clean cookware and tableware to cope with the high volume and furious pace of a dinner or lunch service. In a small but busy kitchen, the problem can be even worse: volume is just as high but you don’t have the space for a crew of manual dishwashers or a large sink. In the shape of the high-capacity Two- Level-Washer, Hobart has developed a unique, world-leading solution. Perfect for use in commercial kitchens – whether in restaurants, bakeries, meat-production facilities or industrial environments – the Two-Level-Washer provides an important step-up from past products.
Anyone who’s worked at the sink in a commercial kitchen will tell you: it’s a demanding job. You need to ensure plates, pans and utensils are rinsed of stubborn stains before they go into the washer, while glassware can break if poorly stacked. Operating across two separate chambers, top and bottom, the Two-Level-Washer banishes those concerns, offering two different wash cycles at once. This means not only an increase in capacity but that glassware, for example, can be kept away from heavier-duty, dirtier items.
This easy-to-use machine also minimises the need for pre-treatment before cookware goes into the washer. The utensil cycle will remove a large portion of the heavy soil from the items within seconds of the cycle starting. The danger of clogging is alleviated by the Genius-X2 Fine Filter System, which collects food waste, filters soiled water (reducing detergent consumption by up to 35 per cent) and cleans itself automatically when pumping out fine soil during the wash cycle.
Best still, the Two-Level-Washer’s compact design ensures no extra space is required – making it perfect for small kitchens as well as larger operations – and it could save you up to 3,120 kWh a year in energy use, thanks to its sealed hood, which stores excess heat energy. The Two-Level-Washer is also compatible with Hobart’s Washsmart app, giving you peace of mind over maintenance for up to five years – while guaranteeing those nightmare services of soiled pans and dirty plates are a thing of the past.
