WE NEED REUSABLE DISHWARE

DRYING: AS IMPORTANT AS THE WASHING RESULT
Well-dried washware depends on many factors. MEIKO QuickDry is a well thought-out drying system, offering excellent results in combination with the appropriate rinse aid, the appropriate racks and the appropriate water treatment. Thanks to the intelligent drying method, the room climate is hardly affected. The module can be docked to our M-iClean HM or HL hood type dishwashing machines and combined with a drying table equipped with a cooling fan. In addition, our special MEIKO ACTIVE plastic detergent ensures optimum cleaning and drying results. Please note that the drying result largely depends on the cups' design.
WASHING TAKEAWAY BOWLS
The MEIKO hybrid bowl rack has all the details covered to help you wash reusable dishware. It even includes a cutlery quiver and space for lids so you can have up to six bowls hygienically clean and ready for use in an instant. Top tip: if you already have a rack for reusable cups, you can easily use it to hygienically clean bowls, too.
Take advantage of our hybrid rack discount and leave single-use packaging behind.
BOTTLE WASHING
Two become one with our clever bottle rack system. Use it to transform your M-iClean UM or UM+ glass and dishwasher into a bottle washer – and it's so simple. Clear benefits:
- Wash 16 bottles per wash cycle
- Wash a wide range of bottles with this flexible rack system
- Save time and money with short programme runtimes
- Enjoy exceptional hygiene thanks to separate wash and rinse systems
- Benefit from removable wash nozzles that are easy to clean
Get ready for reusables with our reductions on bottle racks.
Our philosophy is formed through constantly rethinking warewashing, cleaning and disinfection. That makes our technology ever more resource efficient. In fact, MEIKO's innovative spirit was awarded the ‘Innovation Leader in Green Technology’ mark as part of a study by the FAZ Institute in 2019.
