Winterhalter’s new UF Series of utensil washers combines the company’s VarioPower technology and a new ‘Crust Cracker’ chemical to give operators outstanding results, even with the most-stubborn baked-on deposits.
The VarioPower technology allows the wash pressure to be individually adjusted, depending on the items being washed and the degree of soiling. The wash arm design, which gives more power and coverage, coupled with customised washing programmes depending on the type and extent of soiling, ensure every item is thoroughly cleaned. For really-stubborn baked-on deposits Winterhalter has developed what it calls the TurboZyme process, featuring the ‘Crust Cracker’ chemical, which gets into action before the washing programme begins, negating the need for manual pre-washing.
Winterhalter has designed a new rack dolly loading system for the UF Series, which addresses the problem of collecting heavy and bulky utensils from various production stations around the kitchen and transporting them to the utensil washer. The system means staff can collect a rack full of dirty utensils and pots before easily pushing it directly into the machine, however loaded it may be. The clean utensils can then be pushed back to the work stations in the same way.
Other new features of the UF machines include redesigned foldable doors giving staff clear access to the interior of the machine, making it much easier to clean.
All models of the new Winterhalter UF Series are equipped with a standby mode. This ensures no unnecessary costs are incurred when the machine is idle. An energy-saving function manages the boiler temperature so that, during the subsequent wash cycle, the machine is able to reheat the boiler to the target temperature quickly.
Winterhalter offers the new UF Series machines in three different sizes. Depending on the available space and the size of the items being washed, customers can choose from the UF-M (medium 775 x 1720 x 870mm), UF-L (large 775 x 1880 x 870mm) and UF-XL (extra large 1468 x 1880 x 870mm) models. All models can wash up to 64 racks per hour depending on the washing program.
