Save smart with HOBART flight-type dishwashers

Energy costs are rising. Right now, nobody can say how they will develop in the future. Experts agree on one thing though: for now, costs are staying high for water, chemical products and especially for electricity. It is a relief that technology is moving forward. These days, we can use innovative technology to reduce electricity, water and chemical consumption while still washing hygienically.

Replacing an old machine with new, energy-efficient technology can reduce your operating costs. It is worth taking a close look at an operating cost analysis.

Reducing operating costs

Case study: flight-type dishwasher

 

Legend with two entries for flight-type dishwashers: FTN S-A-DS model from 2012 and FTNi S-A-DS model from 2022 featuring CLIMATE-PLUS energy saving and LOW-CHEM INTENSIVE detergent saving systems.

Four charts for displaying consumption data: top left “Electricity [kWh/day]” with a red lightning symbol, top right “Water [l/day]” with a red droplet symbol, bottom left “Rinse aid [g/day]” with a red chemistry and sparkle icon, bottom right “Detergent [g/day]” with a red chemistry icon.

Model input data for the analysis:

Energy price: 0.25 €/kWh
Water price: 4 €/m3
Price of chemical products: 4 €/kg (detergent & rinse aid)
Operating hours: 6 hours/day
Operating days: 365 days/year

We put a lot of technological innovations in our dishwashers to reduce operating costs:

Smart use of waste water and exhaust air

Saving energy has never been so easy: with the unique new CLIMATE-PLUS energy saving system, consisting of a combination of waste water heat recovery and state-of-the-art heat pump technology, energy losses during warewashing are enormously reduced. In total, up to 70 % of the energy from the waste water and up to 100 % of the energy from the exhaust air is returned to the wash process – valuable energy which is left unused in traditional systems.

Here’s how it works:
The warm waste water is passed through a heat exchanger unit, where the incoming fresh supply water is heated by the waste water using the counterflow principle. At the same time, energy from the hot exhaust air is also fed back into the wash cycle. Saving energy with the system!

Your benefits at a glance

  • Significantly reduced energy consumption.
  • Significantly reduced operating costs.
  • Constant exhaust air temperature of 17°C.
  • In this example, the investment in the heat pump has already paid for itself after 1 year.

Cleaning chemicals: only as much as necessary

And this is how it works:
A sensor in the wash tank continuously checks the quality of the wash water and regenerates it as necessary. Depending on the extent of soiling, water from the rinse is briefly fed into the main wash tank as required. The chemical dosing is adjusted to the tank regeneration.

Your benefits at a glance

  • Reduced detergent consumption.
  • Automatic chemical dosing, precisely as needed.
  • Optimal wash water solution quality guarantees rinse result.

Optimum rinsing of cleaning chemicals

Save up to 60 % of water: The fresh water rinse is used to rinse off the cleaning chemicals. Distribution of the water is the crucial factor with regard to the required volume of water.

The fresh water rinse is equipped with special precision nozzles. These disperse the rinse water into a fine curtain of water and thus form a water film on the wash ware. As a result of the ideal water distribution, this micro-thin film is sufficient to rinse off the wash water. In addition to the conventional rinsing, the fresh water rinse sprays the wash ware also with lateral spray arms.

Your benefits at a glance

  • Fresh water reduction by up to 60 %.
  • Distinct reduction of rinse aid and energy demand.

Prevents energy losses before they arise

Reduce the energy loss of your dishwashing system by up to 20 % with the standard energy management.

In this system, the hot machine zones are enclosed by the cooler zones such as pre-wash and drying. The resulting temperature curtain ensures that air exchange can only take place within the machine. The PREMAX is characterised by a special temperature profile and exploits this principle in an optimum manner.
