As more and more foodservice and food retail operations look to go green, they are turning to consultants for guidance on how to reduce water and energy usage to cut costs and be more environmentally conscious. Since sanitization and warewashing account for 21 percent of a kitchen’s energy consumption, it’s easy to see this is a great place to start.

Hobart recently unveiled its CLe Warewasher, the most energy-efficient, durable and reliable conveyor warewashers in the industry. The new CLe Warewashers are ENERGY STAR® qualified and deliver clean and sanitized dishware at the lowest cost. Final rinse water usage is as low as .39 gallons per rack.

The new warewashers also employ Hobart’s patented NSF-certified Opti-Rinse™ system for energy and water savings. Technologically advanced rinse spray nozzles save more than 50 percent of water and energy than the industry-standard fan-spray nozzles and yet deliver stronger performance. Foodservice and food retail operations can realize savings of more than $9,000 annually with Opti-Rinse.
