THE WATER HARDNESS. “To achieve
cleaning results impeccable - says
Daniele Muzzin, Dishwashing Country
Category Manager at Electrolux
Professional - the cleaners are not the
only thing you can rely on, we must first
of all act on the key element: water. The
hardness of the problem is solved with a
proper water treatment, in combination
with the technology of dishwashers
and detergents and sanitizers used.
The result is an impeccable washing,
manual polishing becomes unnecessary
and decreases the percentage of broken
glasses. In addition, the water is not
treated properly, leaves limestone
deposits on the important parts of the
dishwasher. In this way, it significantly
reduces the wear and possible assistance
and related costs. We must also find
a dishwasher that best meets the
customer’s needs in terms of capacity
and cleaning results (plates / hour and
sanitation), ergonomics, ease of use,
containment of operating costs (less
consumption of water, energy, detergent
and rinse), respect for the environment.”
The canopy green & clean Electrolux
Professional is able to simultaneously
meet these needs with savings up to
40% on running costs thanks to lower
consumption of clean water for rinsing
(only 2 liters / cycle) and less use of
energy, made possible from the energy
saving device that recovers the steam
generated by heating of the wash cycle.
In addition, the cycle anti-limestone
automatic, Zero Lime, allows keeping
free from limestone machine parts in
contact with the water increasing the
efficiency of the same and by bringing
the maintenance costs near zero. Last but
not least, the Clear Blue system ensures
the highest standards of cleanliness
as it keeps the wash water always free
from food residues and thus improve the
effectiveness of detergent for optimal
results
“For all these reasons - he continues
- green & clean the canopy has been
chosen to set up the” Dishwasher mobile
“, an innovative project for festivals
and celebrations zero impact, wanted
and created by Legambiente Basilicata,
in collaboration with the Park Lucano
Apennines Val d ‘Agri Lagonegrese. It
is a used trailer w 100% to the washing
area, which allows you to say goodbye
to plates, cups and plastic cutlery,
always due to a huge production of
waste at festivals and public events.”
From the Pantry Qualitaly
CLEANER AND BRIGHTENER
Alkaline liquid detergent with citrate
used for dishwashers and lavabar. It
is designed to address situations of
washing both cold and hot without
incurring precipitation limestone, also in
water at 100 ° F. The constant use of this
product prevents the formation of any
residual limestone in the dishwashing
machine.
Compendium is the ideal detergent
rinse to be used during the final rinse,
facilitating the dishes dry. It is especially
indicated in the presence of calcareous
stains and brightening without giving
guarantees the problems of foam.
The influence of water and
detergents
Knowing the characteristics of the water
that you have available is crucial to
ensure the best washing results. A very
important parameter is the hardness:
the presence of calcium salts and
magnesium makes the water unsuitable
to dissolve the soap and causes the
formation of incrustations in the
distribution pipes and in the equipment
in which it flows. In addition, a material
influence on the results of washing:
the cleansing action decreases in the
presence of hard water.
On the front of the detergents, however
should be considered the pH, a value
that measures the acidity or basicity
of a solution, and varies between 0
(strong acid) and 14 (strong base); to the
intermediate value of seven corresponds
to the neutrality condition typical of
pure water at 25 ° C. For the soil on
the dishes, type of organic acid, and
rich in fat, it is recommended that a
basic product (pH> 7); If, however,
you need to dissolve the lime scale,
serving products (pH <7) to carry out
the descaling process. The formulations
for the dishes have a pH around the
neutrality, between 6 and 8, in which
the cleaning effect is guaranteed by the
surfactants.
• The dishwasher must be chosen
in function of the number of seats,
considering also the peaks of
Employment. It must be simple to use
and easy to clean and maintain
• Since the hardness of the water affects
the quality of the wash, you can opt for
models that include systems to affect
this parameter
• Do not stop bsogna the evaluation
of the cost of acquisition: models cost
less, but with a reduced consumption of
water and electricity provide significant
savings in the long run.
