HYGIENICALLY CLEAN 

Takeaway coffee, Chai Latte on the way to work, or Asian rice dishes to go – operators of gastronomic establishments frequently use reusable plastic cups and bowls for their “to-go” business. More and more consumers are acting sustainably, focusing on waste reduction and responsible consumption. Starting in 2023, legislation requires caterers to offer reusable alternatives for “to-go” beverages and take-away meals. Reusable systems are becoming increasingly central in addressing this new challenge. However, they can only work if washing doesn't become an issue, meaning absolute cleanliness and hygiene are guaranteed when washing plastic cups and bowls.

 

REUSABLE PLASTIC CUP WASHING PROBLEMS

The plastic material makes washing reusable plastic cups a real challenge. 
The conventional machine programs, racks, detergent and rinse aid are no real solution: when washing, the light cups quickly tip over and fill up with wash water – meaning that they have to be emptied and washed again. And the low thermal conductivity of plastic leaves the cups dripping wet after the wash cycle, so they must be dried by hand. Winterhalter has now solved this problem and developed a professional solution: the reusable plastic cup washing system.


WITHOUT THE REUSABLE PLASTIC CUP WASHING RACK

The reusable plastic cups easily tip over, fill with wash water and dry poorly.
 


WITH THE REUSABLE PLASTIC CUP WASHING RACK

Cups are securely held in place in the rack, ensuring first-class wash results with optimized drying.

The system solution for reusables warewashing

Hygienically washed plastic reusables. First-class cleaning and drying results from the machine within a few minutes. Winterhalter relies on a holistic system solution for reusables warewashing: consisting of machine, rack, rinse chemicals and drying device. Each individual component makes an important contribution to reusables warewashing. Together they ensure perfect washing and drying results.

Winterhalter wash racks

Wash rack

Plastic reusables such as cups and bowls are lightweight: They are fixed in place in the reusables rack via a bracket and held securely in place. This protects them from tipping over even under high water pressure, and prevents them from filling with water.

Winterhalter chemicals

Chemicals

When washing reusables, the rinse chemical makes a distinct contribution: Highly concentrated detergents guarantee first-class wash results. And the specially developed rinse aid for plastics ensures that the water film runs off cleanly after washing.

The DMX drying device meets even the highest demands on the drying result: It dries reusables so perfectly and so quickly, that they can be stacked and stowed away immediately. Without having to let it air dry after rinsing.

It’s typical of Winterhalter: perfectly clean reusable plastic cups. With guaranteed hygiene safety. 

Fast

Quickly clean and quickly ready for use again: reusable plastic cup washing takes under 2 minutes. Up to 25 cups per rack. 

Cups are securely held in place

No tipping over: the specially developed rack holds the cups securely in place even under high water pressure. Big and small. 

Simple to use

A smarter solution: pushing the rack in locks it automatically into place. This can also be done by hand.

No problem: after washing, the cups can be stacked inside each other to save space. Hygienically safe.

Retrofittable

The reusable plastic cup washing system is available for different machine series. And it’s really easy to retrofit. 

INSERTS FOR CUPS AND LIDS 

Do you want to wash just a few cups? Or just a few lids? No problem: individual rack inserts transform the Winterhalter reusable plastic cup washing system into a flexible and completely tailor-made solution.


Challenges in washing bowls

Washing plastic bowls can also be quite challenging. Due to the low thermal conductivity of plastic, bowls remain dripping wet after washing, requiring manual drying. If cleaned bowls aren't immediately sold, they need to be stored. Residual moisture in the grooves and indentations of the bowls can promote mold growth. Since food from bowls is often not consumed immediately and may even be reheated, bowls must be cleaned and stored with particular attention to hygiene.

 

The solution for bowl washing

Winterhalter offers a tailored system solution for these challenges in bowl washing: machine settings, basket, and washing chemicals. This combination ensures hygienic cleanliness, allowing water to drain quickly and reliably from the bowls.

BOWL BASKET

The Winterhalter bowl basket can accommodate up to eight bowls with lids. Thanks to the special angle at which the bowls are positioned in the basket, excess water can drain off quickly and reliably.
