Winterhalter showcases the new PT ClimatePlus at Casual Dining 2015, 25 – 26 February,
Stand M536, The BDC, London
Speed, running costs and quality are watchwords of the casual dining sector and Winterhalter addresses them all when it unveils the new PT ClimatePlus warewasher on stand M536 at Casual Dining 2015. This new warewashercuts energy consumption by over 50%, achieves superb wash results and actually cools the kitchen climate.
Winterhalter’s PT Series warewashers have already impressed the market when it comes to cleaning results, speed and economy. Now, with the newly developed ClimatePlus heat pump, the company believes it is setting new benchmarks in improved kitchen climate and lower operating costs.
When washing with the PT ClimatePlus, the temperature and water content of the exhaust air from the machine are considerably reduced. When the air in the kitchen reaches 25°C the heat pump sends the PT’s exhaust air, cooled to around 18°C, back into the room. As a result, the working environment improves noticeably. Independent trials carried out by equipment testing specialist TÜV SÜD in Germany showed that, when washing with the PT ClimatePlus, the heat given off into the room was reduced by 75% compared to a standard PT model. Furthermore, in many cases there is no need to fit an exhaust air hood for the machine, giving additional cost savings.
The ClimatePlus heat pump not only uses energy from the steam in the machine’s interior to warm the wash water, it also uses energy from warm air drawn in from the kitchen. An electrically operated latch controls the switching between the two modes of operation to maximise energy capture.
Catering managers concerned about their budgets and efficiency should take the opportunity to talk to Winterhalter’s specialists at the Show, to find out about how the PT ClimatePlus works to improve working conditions and costs. It’s an ideal time to discover exactly what difference a Winterhalter machine can make to an operation. For multi-site operators the savings really add up. Visitors to the stand can get the Winterhalter experts to do the figures.
To illustrate the cleaning power of Winterhalter machines there is a glass-fronted UC machine on the stand. This shows visitors the vario power jets working on heavily stained glasses, achieving hygienically, spotless results without damaging even delicate glassware.
