Winterhalter, as clean as a whistle. Literally!!!

More energy efficient, faster, cleaner, with lower water consumption, and easier to use – plus, the machine and the wash programmes can be customised to ensure the best possible results, whatever the local conditions and whatever is being washed.More energy efficient, faster, cleaner, with lower water consumption, and easier to use – plus, the machine and the wash programmes can be customised to ensure the best possible results, whatever the local conditions and whatever is being washed.More energy efficient, faster, cleaner, with lower water consumption, and easier to use – plus, the machine and the wash programmes can be customised to ensure the best possible results, whatever the local conditions and whatever is being washed.

The PT is the first pass-through with energy-saving heat exchange technology fitted as standard. The system extracts energy from the waste water, using it to heat up the incoming cold water supply, reducing energy costs by up to 10%.

The PT Series also features an energy control system that speeds up the washing process, increasing rack capacity per hour by 28% and reducing heat-up time by 50%. It works by making best use of the available power it can prioritise heating of water and ensures the boiler has maximum power when it needs it. However, in standby mode it allows the boiler temperature to reduce to minimise energy consumption.

The PT is the first pass-through that can be truly customised to each site’s requirements and local conditions. The installation engineer can adjust the machine to take account of everything from the type of food on the menu to the hardness of the water and calibrate the machine accordingly.

The PT’s Vario-Power feature allows the operator to quickly optimise the programme to suit the delicacy or dirtiness of the wash items. All staff have to do is push the relevant pictogram on the control panel to select the wash they want. Vario-Power adjusts pressure, temperature, time, detergent and rinse aid to ensure perfect results are guaranteed, even with stubborn soiling.

Other headline features include the patented ‘full jet’ filtration system which, in conjunction with Winterhalter’s established Mediamat filter, constantly cleans the wash water to ensure it is clear of impurities. Meanwhile a clouding sensor in the wash chamber monitors the wash water, taking only as much replenishment water as is required. These sophisticated filtration and monitoring systems enhance the efficient discharge of food residues by up to 35%, compared to previous models, further minimising water consumption and delivering the best possible wash results.

The PT has elliptical wash arms whose jets are individually formed, sized, positioned and angled to deliver 100% coverage, even into the wash cabinet corners, and achieve high pressure washing of heavily soiled items. In combination with the new Vario-Power and advanced filtration system, the wash arms improve the brilliance of cleaning results by up to 29%.

Although more expensive than alternatives on the market, the new PT is certainly worth the additional cost when balanced against savings that can be made over the life of the machine. Coupled with the customisable wash programs and pictorial menu for operators where English is not their first language makes the PT a great choice for any kitchen.
