SMALL-BUT-MIGHTY UTENSIL WASHER PACKS A PUNCH
Winterhalter’s compact utensil washer is the world’s smallest
With staff shortages still hitting the kitchen brigade, utensil washers are becoming ever more popular. Not only do they take over one of the worst and most time-consuming kitchen cleaning jobs – getting baked-on soiling off the pans – they are also more hygienic and faster than washing by hand. One problem though is the size of a utensil washer – is there room for one in today’s space-squeezed kitchens? Winterhalter says yes, with the world’s smallest utensil washer, the GS630.
Measuring just 870mm wide by 623.5mm deep and 835mm high, the GS630 can fit into the tightest of spaces and under a worktop. However, it can still handle the big jobs: trays, GN pans, Euronorm crates, pots… you name it, the GS630 can cope with it, with a clear entry height of 400mm and entry width of 650mm. Plus, it cleans brilliantly, its high water pressure packing a punch while the top and bottom wash arms, which rotate in opposite directions, maximise the washfield and the advanced filtration system keeps washwater clean.
It’s also fast, handling up to 38 racks per hour, depending on the level of soiling. The GS630 has a choice of three wash cycles, so it can adapt to harder to clean loads.
Proteins and starch can be difficult to shift, typically requiring pre-rinsing of utensils to avoid the dirt getting baked on. However, the GS630 does this job, too, with the cold water pre-wash feature saving staff time and helping maximise kitchen productivity. Another time-saver is the self-cleaning program, which takes over some of the day-to-day care of the machine.
The Winterhalter GS630 is very simple to use, with one-button operation and a display that changes colour, depending on the status of the machine, and shows operating temperatures and detergent and rinse aid levels.
