PT UTENSIL

Convenient and practical too: the PT Utensil is available with an automatic hood. The machine can be operated without effort – a real relief for dishwashing staff. The hood is closed with a simple press of a button: via the display or an ergonomically positioned button. The wash cycle then starts automatically. At the end of the programme, the hood automatically lifts up to indicate that the wash cycle has finished.

Digitalisation is creating new opportunities in the field of commercial warewashing and improving both safety and efficiency. With CONNECTED WASH, the PT Utensil can be integrated into your network and important operating data can be evaluated. Consequently, recommendations and actions are made that will help to optimise the washing process. The machine status can be monitored from anywhere in the world through the free app. In the event of a critical error, CONNECTED WASH automatically sends a notification to a defined group of recipients. In addition, the PT automatically receives important updates, ensuring its software is always up to date.

Commercial warewashing is always individual: requirements, applications and standards are different for everyone. That’s why the PT Utensil also offers a whole range of special programmes. For example there’s a basic cleaning programme, a soaking programme and an intensive programme for particularly heavy and stubborn soiling as well as short programmes for when things have to be done quickly. The ECO programme for extra energy-saving or the Silence programme for quieter operation. There are also programmes for a quick tank water change, decalcification and self-cleaning. Additional special programmes can be configured as required.

Protects against unnecessary energy loss: if the hood of the PT Utensil is opened for too long between rinse cycles, the machine automatically alerts you. A message on the display and an acoustic signal remind dishwashing staff to close the hood to save energy.

The PT Utensil is available in two different sizes, to allow customers to choose the machine size that best suits their application and the space available on site: 
- the wide PT-L for dishes, large plates, trays and Euronorm crates
- the wide and high PT-XL Utensil with a higher entry height for GN-2/1 trays and bulky utensils
The exact dimensions of the individual machine sizes can be found in the brochure. 

At the end of a working day: the PT Utensil has a guided self-cleaning programme to ensure the machine works perfectly for many years. Fully automatic cleaning of the machine interior is started using the touch screen. User-friendly pictograms on the display then guide you through the subsequent manual cleaning stages. The drain pump automatically removes residual water from the machine ensuring it is completely empty. This prevents the formation of deposits and the build-up of odours.

Better safe than sorry: the PT Utensil automatically monitors detergent and rinse aid levels – ensuring there are always enough chemicals.  With a display indication and a signal tone, the acoustic warning informs staff when one of the canisters is empty.

Turning a warewasher into a real solution: the PT Utensil adapts to the available on site space and offers various installation options. The machine and its tabling can be set up in a continuous straight line or optionally in a corner configuration. There is also the possibility to vary the working direction: left-right or right-left.

If the water is too hard and impairs wash results, the PT Utensil is optionally available with integrated softener. It is built into the machine to save space and provides continuous soft water using ion exchange. Detergent and rinse aids work best in soft water and deliver improved wash results. Simultaneously, limescale deposits in the machine are reduced, preventing the long-term damage associated with limescale. When the regeneration salt is used up and must be replenished, an automatic message appears on the display.

The PT Utensil uses every available opportunity for reducing energy costs: stand-by mode switches on automatically during wash breaks and the boiler temperature drops – only to a level that the rinse water can be heated to the set temperature again during the next wash cycle. Your PT Utensil uses less energy as a result, yet it is always ready for operation.

No streaks. Fast drying. Brilliant shine. Rinse aids offer plenty of advantages – if the dosage is right. The standard equipment includes an integrated rinse aid dosing device which ensures exact and economical dosing – delivering perfect rinsing and drying results.

Where is pre-rinsing carried out and where are the clean dishes placed? Where are the containers for detergent and rinse aid stored? Is there enough storage space? These questions are easily answered with Winterhalter inlet tables and drain tops: The available space can be optimally utilised, and the tables are perfectly matched to the work processes on site. For ergonomic operation.

Quality makes the difference: the PT Utensil hood is made of double-skinned stainless steel. This not only reduces noise emissions but also heat loss – so reducing energy costs.

A machine must be easy to operate. The PT Utensil passthrough dishwashers are also impressive in this area: Thanks to the ergonomically shaped handles, the hood is easy, convenient and safe to open and close.

In order that the detergent can fully develop its efficiency, the PT Utensil is also available with an integrated detergent dosing device. It is built into the machine to save space. The PT Utensil perfectly matches the detergent dosing to the items being washed and how dirty they are. This not only guarantees perfect wash results, but also prevents the unnecessary cost of overdosage.

Rinsing is crucial to achieve perfectly hygienic wash results. But only if the rinsing temperature is right. The PT Utensil monitors this: The Thermostop device does not allow the rinsing process to begin until the temperature in the boiler has reached the defined value.

The PT Utensil machines are equipped with a detergent sensor as standard. The sensor monitors the inflow of the detergent and guarantees that the washing in the tank always includes detergent. If a problem with the dosing device should arise, if the feeder line is clogged or if there is a leak, the sensor sounds an alarm.

Comfortable and practical: it is possible to plan with the PT Utensil the time the machine starts up or closes down. The machine then switches on/off automatically – and is ready when the first wash needs to get underway.

Important for first-class wash results: the PT Utensil rinse booster pump guarantees that the necessary water pressure for the rinse cycle is always available. If the building water pressure is too low or a water treatment device is connected, the rinse booster pump compensates for this.

The PT Utensil is equipped with standard active energy management, which makes optimum use of the available energy. The start-up, heat-up time is reduced by up to 50% and the machine is quickly ready for operation. The programme length is also shorter – which increases the overall capacity.

Ready for anything: the PT Utensil has a multifunction interface on board. An external port offers direct and easy access: allowing the connection of additional technology like external dosing devices or feeder tubes for chemicals. An optional interface certified to standard DIN 18875 is available: The PT Utensil can be integrated into an external energy management system via this power optimisation connection.

Just in case: Thanks to the PT Utensil integrated hygiene and operations logbook, compliance with HACCP hygiene standards can be proven at any time. Critical operating data is automatically saved in this logbook.

The PT Utensil makes washing as easy as possible: The wash cycle begins automatically when the hood is closed. Not only is this convenient, it also saves time. The automatic hood start function is a part of standard equipment and can also be deactivated if desired.

A machine can meet the hygiene requirements of DIN SPEC 10534 only if certain temperatures are maintained. This is more difficult when dealing with large and bulky utensils made of stainless steel, as they bring a lot of cold into the machine and so absorb a lot of heat from the tank water. This is why the PT Utensil is equipped with a second tank heating element and has double the power at 5 kW, to ensure that the required minimum temperatures are maintained at all times and hygienic wash results are guaranteed.

The PT Utensil comes with a basic set of racks: the standard scope of delivery includes a stainless steel rack for utensils and a plastic rack for dishes and trays. Additional racks and rack inserts for different wash items are also available as accessories.

Soiling with high amounts of proteins and starch can lead to undesirable foaming in the machine and degrade the washing quality. Here is where the optional integrated defoamer dosing device comes in handy: it adds special defoaming components to the tank water and therefore guarantees first-class wash results. Entirely automatically.
