The CTR is based on a system of modules that can be combined: it is available with up to three tanks, with additional preheating and drying zones and with or without exhaust air heat recovery. The result is a large number of different machine variants. Which means: the CTR always offers you a customised solution. Precisely configured to your individual requirements. And should your requirements change in the future – no problem: the modular design means that modules and features can be retrofitted at any time.

Greater safety, greater efficiency: the CTR can be networked with a computer or mobile device via CONNECTED WASH. This creates the basis for the analysis and evaluation of all the important operating data. To optimise the entire washing process.

Behind the CTR is a concept for perfect hygiene. The machine has deep-drawn tanks, 180° swivelling hygienic doors, hygiene tank heater, hygiene design of the interior of the machine and exhaust air heat recovery with an integrated and easily cleaned grease filter. The hygiene logbook provides additional hygiene safety: it stores all important operating data and the current operational status including fault messages and can also be called up via CONNECTED WASH*. The hygiene certificate in accordance with DIN SPEC 10534 confirms the high hygiene standards of the CTR.

The pre-wash zone S is a space-saving addition to the main wash zone and increases the rack capacity of the CTR. It comes without a separate tank and its own wash pump and is 500 mm wide. Wash arms at the top and bottom remove coarse food residues prior to the main wash phase. Its inbuilt filter cassette traps coarse soiling and can be easily removed and cleaned. The pre-wash zone S can be retrofitted.

The CTR high-performance washing system comprises five wash arms at the top and four wash arms at the bottom. Thanks to their shape and nozzle geometry, they ensure that water is distributed over the entire area. The system has been balanced such that it provides the optimum pressure distribution between the top and bottom warewashing systems. This means that dishes are held securely in position to ensure maximum washing performance.

The CTR makes washing remarkably simple: It is convenient to operate and easy to clean. A smart touch display is at work in the CTR cockpit. With single-button operation. With a language-neutral operator interface. And with self-explanatory pictograms. Different programmes can be selected for the tank draining process: each uses the standard drain pump, which protects the user from contact with wash water and thus ensures greater safety at work. All wash arms and curtains can be taken out separately and quickly and easily cleaned when necessary. The coding means they can’t get mixed up.

Would you like to be able to reuse the dishes cleaned by your CTR as quickly as possible? Then take advantage of the optional and retrofittable drying zone. This is especially recommended for wash items that are particularly difficult to dry. The CTR drying zone is available not only in a straight design, but also in a corner variant, so that your room planning can be as flexible as possible. For small kitchens and confined spaces.

Servicing has also been taken into consideration during the CRT design process: specific functions, such as e.g. the rinse water volume, can be changed by the service technician according to customer wishes. All components in the technical area of the machine are easily accessible. Any errors are shown on the display with self-explanatory pictograms, plain text and unambiguous error codes. This means errors can be quickly identified and remedied.

The cleaner the wash water, the fewer changes of water are required – and the better the wash result. That’s why the CTR is equipped with Winterhalter’s proven and efficient quadruple filtration system. In Steps 1 and 2, coarse soiling is first collected by removable strainers in the main wash zone. In Step 3, the Mediamat then filters the finest particles, such as coffee grounds, from the wash water. And in Step 4, the pump inlet filter protects the wash pump from mechanical damage. If the CTR is fitted with a pre-wash zone, food residues are trapped in a separate and easy-to-clean filter system before the main wash zone.

The CTR uses an integrated energy management system to ensure that in the case of restricted on-site fuse protection, the available energy can be used for the entire process with maximum flexibility. Its modulation takes place automatically and dynamically. This guarantees hygienic operation with the highest possible rack capacity at all times.

The boiler heat output is initially designed for the on-site conditions based on the inlet water temperature and rinse water volume. Should these change during the course of the machine lifecycle, the boiler heating can be increased retrospectively.

The CTR has several programmes for filling and emptying the wash tank. Quick start: The machine fills within as little as eight minutes (depending on on-site conditions) and is ready for use shortly after. Individual water change: Depending on how soiled the water is and the time available, a part or full regeneration of the tank water can be performed by means of the tank water exchange programme. Quick drainage: In addition to the regular drainage programme, there is also a programme that will pump out all the tank water in just five minutes.

No matter how high the water pressure is in the building or how much it fluctuates: the fresh water rinse of the CTR operates independently of this and guarantees a consistently good rinse result.

The CTR offers the highest hygiene safety: the heating output of a powerful 15 kW keeps the tank temperature stable and reliably ensures optimal washing and drying results. If required, a HighTemp function is available as standard to enable washing at higher tank temperatures.

Quality makes the difference. The CTR is constructed with a double-skinned, insulated stainless steel housing, including an enclosed baseplate and machine rear wall. It thus fulfils the requirements of the IPX5 splash-proof class. Further advantages: significantly less energy losses, reduced noise emission and rodent protection.

In a commercial kitchen, numerous electrical appliances are in use at the same time. The machines in the CTR Series are optionally available with a DIN 18875 interface, which allows them to be integrated conveniently into energy management systems. The energy requirements of individual devices are thus specifically controlled to avoid peak loads and high energy costs. The interface can also be retrofitted if desired.

With the optional outlet corner conveyor, clean dishes can exit the machine around a bend rather than in a straight line. At an angle of either 90° or 180°. This ensures optimal use of space and ergonomic workflows. If desired, the drying zone can be positioned on the outlet corner conveyor to save even more work space.

Peak time. Continuous loads of dirty dishes keep coming into the kitchen. At times like this, accessory inlet tables facilitate an organised process for loading the racks and the machine. And ensure that work is carried out ergonomically.

Additional space for freshly washed racks: the optional outlet roller table extends the outlet area where racks can be parked after the wash cycle. This is an easy way to increase the outlet rack capacity. It also allows wash items to dry off completely.

A special cup rack and various inserts make it possible: up to 3,375 hygienically washed reusable plastic cups per hour. They are so dry after the wash cycle that they can be stacked inside each other to save space. The reusable plastic cup washing system ensures certified hygiene safety in accordance with DIN SPEC 10534. It is available for all Winterhalter CTR Series compact rack conveyor dishwashers including retrofitting.
