At least initially, glasswashers and dishwashers appear to be pretty much the same thing. Both clean anything that goes inside them, and while a glass washer is designed for the specific purpose of cleaning glasses, it also does a good job of washing cutlery and dishes. So you may be wondering why you would need both, or why you should invest in a washing machine. Especially when you can use a dishwasher for all your dishes and utensils.
You would be absolutely right, of course, that a washing machine can only clean glasses. But there are many other advantages that they can offer, not only to business users, but also to home users with large families:
Faster Washes – Even midsize washers can handle 15-20 racks per hour, which equates to over 200 glasses being washed each cycle. By contrast, a dishwasher must take its time to make sure all items are thoroughly cleaned, which means you can only wash as fast as you need to wash the largest item.
More economical-
Better for your glassware: A dishwasher is overkill for cleaning glasses. With your requirement to wash large pots and pans, as well as smaller kitchen items, glasses will often be overexposed to high temperatures, causing the glass to tarnish over time. A glasswasher, on the other hand, uses a milder detergent and the wash cycle is relatively short, resulting in little to no damage to your glassware.
Best Results: A dishwasher will often leave white streaks on the glass. These marks are a result of the strong detergent used, not a good way to impress customers! A glass washer will leave no marks at all, giving all glassware a fantastic shine.
Fast: Some industrial washers can wash up to 400 glasses in an hour, saving a lot of time for your staff to attend to other things.
Less Expensive: An industrial washing machine will cost much less to buy than other cleaning appliances. If you have enough room for one, it will also pay for itself in the amount of time saved.
Many restaurateurs are unaware of the potential benefits of investing in a glass washer, often overlooking them in favor of dishwashers, thinking they are saving money. In fact, just the opposite is true, with a commercial glass washer saving time and money!
