TECHNOLOGY & SUSTAINABILITY Flight-type dishwasher from HOBART wins next award After winning the ‘Solution of the Year’ and Star Award, Offenburg, Germany based HOBART who leads the world market in commercial warewash technology, has now received its third prize in 2021, the COOKING AWARD for its FTPi flight-type dishwasher. HOBART‘s newly developed CLIMATE- PLUS energy saving system, which sig- nificantly reduces energy consumption during warewashing, was again a key factor in winning the gold medal in the warewashing technology category. The readers‘ prizes are presented by the trade magazine Cooking + Catering Inside, which awards bronze, silver and gold rankings in 23 different product groups. In a nationwide survey, users vote for their favorite newly launched convenience and kitchen equipment and decide who gets to take the gold, silver or bronze awards. Flight-type dishwashers significantly reduce energy wastage HOBART‘s newly developed Climate- Plus Energy Saving System consists of a combination of drain heat recovery and state-of-the-art heat pump tech- nology. In total, up to 70% of the en- ergy from the waste water and up to 100% of the energy from the exhaust air is returned to the wash cycle. Valu- able energy which in traditional sys- tems is left unused. This considerably reduces energy consumption and op- erating costs while ensuring a constant exhaust air temperature of 17°C. The hot waste water is passed through a heat exchanger unit, where the incom- ing fresh supply water is heated by the waste water using the counterflow principle. At the same time, the ener- gy from the hot exhaust air is also fed back into the wash cycle. Detergent saving system A reduced chemical consumption also lowers operating costs. When further developing its flight-type dishwashers, the Offenburg supplier of commercial warewashing equipment also conceived the LOW-CHEM INTENSIVE detergent saving system, which significantly reduces the detergent consumption and provides for optimum wash water. To this end, 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. HOBART‘s newly developed CLIMATE- PLUS energy saving system, which significantly reduces energy consumption during warewashing, was again a key factor in winning the gold medal in the warewashing technology category.
