With Australia swinging between floods and drought, the hotel industry can easily find ways to save water. Especially in the kitchen. According to the City of Melbourne, the average medium to large hotel uses 301 litres of water per room, or to put it another way, 29 Olympic pools of water each year.
Saving water is not only good for the environment, but can save you money in water and heating bills. Innovations in water-saving have come a long way, such as pedal-operated or sensor-activated taps. Another simple innovation combining practicality with functionality is glass storage and dishwashing racks.
The Camrack System by Cambro can boost water, time and labour savings in commercial kitchens
Here are four ways Cambro Camracks can make your hotel more sustainable and efficient.
1. Wash more efficiently
Stubborn lipstick stains on glasses usually lead to double washing. That’s a drain on time, labour and money. Water marks are another spot to avoid. Cloudy glasses due to chemicals such as rinse aid can also turn guests off.
Camracks are designed to maximise the flow of water to each glass. The open compartments allow water to effectively move through the racks for rinsing, washing and drying. The chemicals can get to where they’re needed. Then at the end of the washing cycle, the air can circulate through for drying, avoiding watermarks left behind. No more double washing or hand drying.
Durable Camracks can fit most commercial dishwashers. Made from high strength polypropylene, they can withstand chemicals and temperatures up to 93°C.
2. Store your dishracks without having to re-wash
Sometimes glasses need a quick wash after being in storage for a while. Dust, finger marks and pests can make their way into stored glassware.
Camracks are designed not only for washing, but for storage too. Just add a cover and a Camdolly and your dishwashing racks become a fully enclosed storage solution. Your glasses are also safe from breakages and chips. Fingers can’t grasp through holes. Dirty water from cleaning around the storage area won’t touch your clean glasses, either.
Simply open the cover and let the wine flow.
3. Control your inventory more effectively
Do away with labels. Instead, colour code your glasses. Base racks come in a variety of colours to quickly identify glasses in busy kitchens. Tumblers can be green, red wine glassware red and white wine glassware white.
Glasses are safe from fingers as the racks don’t need to be opened. Easily store, identify and transport the right glasses needed for your event.
4. Transport your dishracks without plastic wrapping
Camrack walls are completely enclosed with handles on the outside. They can be easily stacked with overlapping sides keeping them safely in place.
Delicate wine stems and rims of glasses are stored safely with no risk of chips or cracks.
So, you save on packaging. There’s no need to wrap your racks when transporting glassware down the hall, to the kitchen or off-site.
Make the simple switch to Camracks and start saving time, water and labour.
