When they came across the Granuldisk ware washing solutions from Nor:disk and heard about all the sustainability benefits they didn’t hesitate to invest.
Prior to the installation, a case study was agreed to be done, and the water consumption in the wash area was measured before and after the Granule Smart was installed.
Nor:disk’s high-performing granule cleaning solutions have significantly reduced downtime by 50% spent on washing, which allows us to focus on preparing delicious dishes for our happy customers.
One member of the previously dedicated ware washing team can now perform other duties. Water consumption is down to only 879 liters a day.
The result from the installation showed substantial savings in both water and chemicals, but also in work hours spent on ware washing.
