Two in One: The World’s First Two-Level Washer
With the Two-Level Washer, Hobart introduced the first commercial dishwasher on the market which has a second wash chamber for simultaneous washing. This means two levels are available for double the washing volume. By increasing the capacity per wash cycle, Hobart has significantly relieved the dishwashing staff’s workload.
“At peak times, the kitchen is always incredibly busy, and dishes must be washed fast to be ready for reuse quickly. Our Two-Level Washer is the perfect helper because it washes double the quantity of dishes in the same time. Furthermore, the dish and utensil washer is not only extremely efficient but also has a very small footprint, which makes it suitable also for smaller kitchens. Despite the second washing level and its compact design, the Two-Level Washer does not require more space than a conventional dishwasher,” said Manfred Kohler, vice president Sales and Manufacturing at Hobart GmbH.
